Calling All MDG Mission Opportunities!
by The Rev Mike Kinman
One way I look for how the Spirit is working through this movement is watching my email inbox. And over the past few months, there's been a big upswing in people asking "Where can I find short-term, hands-on MDG work?" People looking for ways they can use travel to build relationships of common mission around the MDGs.
I love it when I get questions I can't answer myself -- because I get to tap the wisdom of this great and growing community. And that's just nine kinds of fun!
So this week, I've opened the question up to the EGR community through our listserv and now through this newsletter. Here are some of the answers I've already gotten:
*Ron Peterson suggested joining the folks of St. Paul's in Sparks/Reno Nevada with the International Development Missions trips to Kenya.
*Tim Baer encouraged folks to contact the Bushenyi Alliance for Rural Health and Development, which works with rural health clinics and schools in Uganda.
*Sharon Alexander invited people to come and see what St. Michael and All Angels in Dallas is doing in partnership with an orphanage & clinic in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
And these are just a few. What can you add to the list? Email us with as much information as you can. We'll gather them all and post them on the EGR website.
