Mission Sunday in June
Mission Moment 1: Christian Schlick is a missionary representing the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries in ministries with migrants from Central America and Mexico. He was commissioned in June 2019 and is based in Central America. Global Ministries engages with ministries with migrants in Central America and Mexico in collaboration with partner churches and organizations. Having a missionary in the region facilitates ministries aimed at assuring a range of options, including “the right to stay,” “safe passage,” “hospitality,” and “support for the returned.”
Mission Moment 2: United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) is the official short-term volunteer sending agency of the United Methodist Church. The North Central Jurisdiction office is charged with resourcing individuals, teams, leaders and UMVIM projects within this jurisdiction. The office maintains a future teams list, sends out e-newsletters and maintains the National Project List. It also assists in Emergency Response Training (ERT) and VIM leader training. umvim.org
