The Purpose of Mission Ingathering is to
show the love of Christ to the world’s people
by ministering to their needs
JUNE UPDATE FOR 2019 INGATHERING
During the kit process at MMDC a card is placed in each kit stating “WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU! Packaged with love by your brothers and sisters in Christ.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 is quoted on the back of the card. It would be very appropriate to have the card placed in the kit by the person making it, along with offering a prayer for the recipient. The cards can be downloaded here and printed back to back on card stock.
As previously announced, the items brought to the Ingathering sites are being sent to Midwest Mission which opened for ministry in 2000. The Board of Directors is made up of two delegates from each conference of the North Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church and up to three delegates from neighboring conferences.
Midwest Mission collects, makes, assembles, and restores supplies for humanitarian and disaster relief. The work is done by volunteers who come from all over the U.S. to serve. The 30,000 square-foot facility is located on a 10-acre campus four miles south of Springfield, Illinois. It is the second largest of the cooperating depots in the UMCOR Relief Supply Network, and partners with Food for the Poor, Franciscan Mission Warehouse, Christians in Mission, and U.S. South Command donating supplies to humanitarian aid missions.
