UM Agencies Focus on Global Migration
Next Phase Imagine No Malaria
The United Methodist Council of Bishops, during its May
2017 meeting, gave support to designating a Sunday
later this year for prayers about the global migration crisis and for collecting a special offering to address suffering caused by forced migration. "This is the day for The
UMC to act with conviction and courage, giving life to
its commitment to be disciples of Jesus Christ for the
transformation of the world," declared a report from the
Council of Bishops Immigration Task Force. "How we respond to the immigration crisis at this moment will determine the vitality of the church for generations to come."
Bishop Minerva Carcaño, who chairs the Immigration
Taskforce, also asked the bishops to back a special
Advance offering for relief efforts. This, she noted,
would be in connection with a National Council of
Churches and Church World Service effort on global migration called Ecumenical Declaration: Protecting
Welcome, Restoring Hope.
During Global Ministries' spring Board of Directors
meeting, UMCOR directors approved the allocation
of more than a half million dollars, some of it from
the Global Refugee/Migration Advance #3022144, to
address US immigration and refugee advocacy work.
On May 20, the Connectional Table, a 59-member international body of clergy and laity that coordinates mission, ministry, and resources at the denominational level,
designated $100,000 of the denomination's contingency
funds-with the possibility of an additional $100,000 next
year-to help United Methodists stand with immigrants.
The group joined the denomination's Council of
Bishops in backing "A Global Migration Sunday Offering,"
to raise still more funds, which will directly aid migrants
and refugees.
The Connectional Table set the date for the special
day of prayer and offering for migrants to be the first
Sunday of Advent, which is December 3 in 2017. The
collection was timed to occur during the season when
Christians remember that even Jesus and his family
were at one time refugees crossing borders to escape
violence in their home country.
The Board of Directors for the United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and Global Health unit
of Global Ministries approved a grant of $753,434
for the Zimbabwe Health Board. The grant will fund
the fourth Imagine No Malaria (INM) program for
Zimbabwe. From now through 2018, health workers
will provide education, prevention, and malaria treatments in targeted areas.
As a result of the INM program, access to health
care is projected to increase by 85 percent for several
high-risk communities. This grant will also sponsor the
renovation of the Dindi Rural Health Clinic and latrine
facilities at a United Methodist Church referral hospital
in Zimbabwe. A total of 8,730 pregnant women, 28,613
children under the age of five, and 177,501 of the public
are expected to directly benefit from this grant.
