Joplin looks much different today than it did a month ago.  In a record amount of time, most of the debris that was about all you could see has been hauled away.  Without branches upon which to grow new leaves, they are growing out of the  tree trunks.  With the job of rebuilding homes still some distance around the corner our volunteer in mission teams are breaking up concrete foundations and carrying the concrete to the curb.  Occasionally a sub floor has to be removed before the concrete can be busted up.  That is what we found the United Methodist Men from New McKendree, in Jackson doing Thursday afternoon.

Athletes

Their “Hope Epidemic” t-shirts read “The Church Has Left the Building.”  More than 1000 persons turned out for a free breakfast at First United Methodist Church in Sikeston.  After breakfast they spread out through their community to spread the hope and love of Christ.  In addition to doing a lot of flood related work, volunteers did such services as cleaning a burned out lot, sprucing up vacant lots, hanging teacher appreciation banners and praying at schools, handing out quarters and helping with laundry at local Laundromats, cleaning a historic cemetery, talking and playing games with nursing home residents, remodeling rooms at the shelter for abused women, and more.  A group of children sang at each nursing home in town, with many of the residents singing along and doing the hand motions with children.  Teams delivered cookie trays to public officials such as emergency medical technicians, the department of public safety, the Nations Guardsmen who were in town doing flood work.  People were even fed, cared for and even received hair and beauty appointments in the church.

The day truly helped change people’s ideas about church….from something that happens in that building across town to “the church was everywhere we looked.”  People in the community experienced the hope and love of Christ spread throughout their community.

Mozambique

St. John’s United Methodist Church, in Kansas City, Missouri decided to share their capital campaign with their partner church in Mozambique.  They have been surprised by how far the 5% of their capital campaign has been able to go in Mozambique.  First they helped their partner congregation build a permanent home for their parsonage family, next their funds built a dormitory and dining area for a woman’s shelter and eventually will help build a permanent chapel for their partner church.  Pastor, Kyle Hern and Lay Leader, Julie Salmon share the joy and excitement that this sharing of capital resources has brought to their Kansas City Church.
