MISSIONS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Did You Know?

SUMC Church Family, Did you know that your generosity allowed 4 men, Kyle Wilson, Rev. Matt Langford, Pete Peters, and Terry Brown, to represent SUMC on a mission trip to Cuba for a week?

The trip included a visit to the Methodist Old Folks home, the Methodist Seminary, Guatao, our sister church since 2014, and Ceigo Methodist church. Shalimar helped Ceigo build a parsonage, a new temple, and purchased two pieces of property triple the size of this growing Operation. While they were there, they met with 24 pastors, a District Superintendent and the Bishop for a great day of celebration.

When Shalimar UMC first went to Ceigo in 2015, their membership was a little over 40 people. Today they have over 400 members!

To hear more about this experience, and the next steps in helping this ministry grow, or if you’re interested in volunteering with any of our mission teams, join us for our Mission Open House on Sunday, March 12 at 5pm in the FLC!
