281. MissionCast – Brown Bag Ministry – Yeakley United Methodist Church

Haiti

The phrase “gather for worship, scatter for mission” describes what the Yeakley United Methodist Church does so very well. They are an outward focused congregation. Their latest outreach ministry is with the homeless of Springfield which they call their “brown bag ministry.” Your MissionCast crew walked along with them in downtown Springfield to bring you this MissionCast. Because of their outward focus the congregation has grown from an average attendance of around 19 two years ago to an average attendance of 39 so far this year. Pastor David Schoolcraft attributes the growth in attendance to the commitment and excitement brought on by engaging in ministry beyond the walls of their open air country church. For information and tips about starting a brown bag outreach ministry from your congregation call Cassie Downs at 417-766-7613.

272. MissionCast – Water For Liberia

Haiti

Liberia has been on our minds lately after the visit of Flomo Shaffa Seward, the VIM Coordinator for the United Methodist Church in Liberia. While in Missouri he was hosted by Franklin Walker who led a VIM team from St. James UMC to Liberia last year. Shaffa was the person who showed the St. James team around. While in Columbia Shaffa had lunch with Bishop Schnase and the Office of Creative Ministries staff.

One of the challenges in Liberia is pure water. Shaffa visited with Jeff Baker about the pure water program in Haiti. We are grateful to UMTV for this video and the permission to use it. UMCOR’s Water for Life program in Liberia addresses this challenge. Donations for this ministry may be made by sending contributions to the Conference Office clearly labeling the gift as Water for Life, Liberia – Advance Special #3020811.
