February Mission Focus

Nigeria Health Board Health Systems

UMC Abundant Health (Project 3021770) is a comprehensive, global initiative by The United Methodist Church focusing on holistic well-being—physical, mental, and spiritual—by improving health for children and communities. There are many Funds within this Project that are supported by this initiative which reflects the church’s commitment to continuing Jesus’s ministry of healing and ensuring that everyone can experience “abundant life”. The program targets maternal and child health, malaria, malnutrition, and HIV/AIDS.

The Mission Moment for February is one of those Project Funds: Nigeria Health Board Health Systems (Project 3021770; Fund #706). Description: Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities are often the first point of contact for Nigerians seeking medical care. PHCs benefit the country’s poorest and most isolated who would otherwise go without medical care.

Project/Fund goal: to ensure UMC health facilities meet the World Health Organization’s standards of primary care, thus improving health equity and reducing morbidity and mortality in rural areas.

January Mission Focus

Trinity Good Samaritan Fund

The Good Samaritan Fund is one way we live out Christ’s call to care for our neighbors. It provides confidential, short-term assistance for those facing urgent financial needs, allowing our church to respond with compassion, respect, and practical support when it’s needed most. Look for the Mission envelopes in the pews on Sunday to give or go online to www.trinitymp.org/give. Raise Right Gift Card order forms in the narthex are a great way to order Food or Gas Cards for this cause. See Lloyd Unger for further details on card ordering, or Wendi Thourson for information on the fund itself.
