Annual Methodist Conference #2: Mozambique

I hear little about Africa and it's problems here in the middle of the U.S., but I am aware that the problems are overwhelming. Carol Kreamer, Mozambique Initiative Coordinator, reported that more than 700 United Methodist congregations, groups, and individuals in Missouri have covenant partnerships
in this country. Despite barriers of geography, language, culture and economics, good things happen. Not only are churches and individuals supported in the faith, but humanitarian projects such as safe water, malaria prevention and leadership development improve daily living.

One pastor shared this meaningful benediction: "Grace is a gift from God to me on its way to someone else."
