Weekly Life-Giving Moment
“I was serving in the shower ministry, and had gone to the clothes closet to pick out a new outfit for one of our guests. I don’t usually do this, but before I started to look I closed my eyes and said, “God, help me find the right thing for Paola.” I very quickly saw a nice top and pair of slacks that I brought to her, and smilingly told her that I had prayed before I chose them. After she finished her shower and had tried on her new clothes, she came to me with tears in her eyes. Everything fit perfectly and looked very nice… but she said the best part was knowing that God was looking out for her and had chosen this just for her. She was so thankful, it brought me joy just to see her joy!”

How to Help
Hurricane Helene has left a trail of devastation across several of our Global Methodist Church communities, severely impacting families and congregations in its path. The destruction is overwhelming, and the need for support is urgent. As we lift up the victims and their communities in prayer, we recognize that immediate financial assistance is crucial for the recovery efforts already underway. While volunteer opportunities will come in time, right now the greatest need is financial support to help rebuild homes, churches, and lives. We invite you to join us in this critical response by giving financially. Your generosity will directly impact those affected by this heartbreaking disaster. Your support, whether in prayer or financial giving, is a beacon of hope to those facing unimaginable loss in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Together, as a Global Methodist Church family, we can make a tangible difference in rebuilding and restoring what has been broken. Thank you for standing with our brothers and sisters in their time of need, and for being the hands and feet of Christ in this time of great challenge.
