In the Lives of Others

 

 

 

 


 

Partners in Mission
College and Youth Ministries have been making annual trips to Matamoras, Mexico on mission trips organized by Partners in Mission.  The missionaries goal is to spread the Gospel while working with the local Methodist churches on some of their construction projects on their buildings. By going into Matamoros and helping build Christ’s church, we are helping the local churches in Mexico to reach out to those in need and change the country, one community at a time.

 


 
Imagine No Malaria
Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from Malaria. The United Methodist church has partnered with other organizations to raise money to purchase bed nets for the people in Africa.  Every $10 buys a net that a family of 4 can sleep under protecting them from mosquitoes that carry malaria.  A&M United Methodist Church made this campaign a priority and has had several fundraising events with the A&M athletic teams and has other events scheduled. Visit our Imagine No Malaria page.  For questions regarding Nothing but Nets please contact
Kip Gilts at kipgilts@am-umc.org

Family Promise
Family Promise is a national organization that is committed to helping low-income families find permanent housing and jobs. The Family Promise of Bryan/College Station is a group of churches that provides families that have lost their homes with food and a place to sleep while they get back on their feet. 
Every two to three months A&M United Methodist Church will house up to 14 people for one week, provide dinner, breakfast and a sack lunch and activities for the children and adults.  Ways members can help is by cooking meals, helping set-up and take down the beds, spend the night with the families, wash linens and play with the children.  Please visit the Family Promise page for more info and how to help and get involved.   For questions regarding Family Promise contact Linda Marr at lindabill.marr@gmail.com

Christian Alliance for Humanitarian Aid -
Portable Medical Container

If you have ever wondered if God is really involved in anything, the project of the three Portable Medical Clinics is a witness to His glory. The finished Portable Medical Clinics were loaded and transported by ships bound for Haiti. They were loaded with medical supplies, food, and water.  Christian Alliance is planning to send a total of twelve Portable Medical Clinics to Haiti. That number includes the first one we built two years ago, which was already in Haiti. The INVEST Team thanks everyone who helped on this project, whether with a prayer, physical labor, or monetary donation. For questions contact David Brochu at ldbrochu@suddenlink.net
