The SCJ newsletter

Dear all,

Here is another newsletter. June has been a very busy month. I will post flood information as soon as it is sent to me. Lorna Jost NCJ has sent me information of how to help with disaster relief for Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. A copy of this is on the SCJ website. Please feel free to add it to your website or send it to interested churches or individuals. Also listed are mission opportunities in Vietnam, the Middle East and Ukraine to name a few locations.


Please send me an updates or information. I will be glad to post them on the website. It will be helpful to have the information in print ready form-edited and correct spelling.

Thanks for your help and ministry.
Deb

FYI Medical Missions

Here is an opportunity for any of our groups involved in Medical Missions. The UMVIM (United Methodist Volunteers in Mission) program is now working with Jane Dunn at the national level. If you want to see what is going on with medical missions then go to the web site below.

If you have anything you want to add to the website, please do so. It would be great to have the Texas Conference name out there.

If you have material that might be of interest to future teams, please e-mail the information and any photos, videos or articles to me at umvim4health@ameritech.net .

God Bless,
