UMCOR announces Advance Giving for relief efforts in Peru

             The United Methodist Committee on Relief is responding to the massive earthquake that leveled several cities in Peru Aug. 15, with offers of aid to the Methodist Church of Peru and a planned grant to Action by Churches Together, the international relief alliance.   Aid to the Peruvian church is likely to cover an array of initiatives, including funding to address immediate relief, as well as long-term recovery needs as they become known, and deployment of experienced disaster response personnel who can help establish priorities and means for response. Though the quake disrupted telecommunications, Action by Churches Together has mobilized a response team in the region.

Please consider a gift to assist our brothers and sisters in Peru as they struggle in this tragedy. 

To make a gift for this recovery effort, simply place your gift in any United Methodist church Sunday offering.  Please designate on your gift:
