Arson Rebuild Team

Arson Rebuild project is on for Summer 2010
Once again NUMC will be sending a team to the Arson Rebuild project, a project that we have supported since 2000. This project is aimed at helping churches damaged by fire, either through arson or accident get back on their feet.

"SPRINGFIELD, MA- Three Springfield men, bitter about the election of the nation's first black president and furious in their belief that minorities would gain more rights, torched the partially built church of a black congregation just hours after Barack Obama's landmark victory, authorities said yesterday.."

Ric Wilson will lead the first team from July 31 to August 7th, and Rich Garner will lead the third team from August 14 to the 21st. If you are interested in helping either of these weeks, please contact Ric Wilson.

GYTTE- Give Ye Them To Eat
was founded in 1977 as a social outreach project of the Methodist Church of Mexico to combat hunger and poverty in the rural sector. The purpose of the "Give Ye Them to Eat" program (GYTTE) is to strengthen the capabilities of marginalized people and communities to meet their basic needs, and to determine and sustain a just and integrated development process. Participatory methods and development tools are used to create conditions in which change can take place from within the communities. GYTTE uses people-centered approaches to development. more
