Farming community weathering difficult season
Farmers in northern Illinois say it's been a stressful season after a cold, rainy spring and a dry July took a toll on crops. Many are uncertain what the harvest will yield.
In The United Methodist Church, Global Ministries is about more than programs, projects or training sessions. Whether in relief work, church construction, or community health programs, we believe that quite ordinary men and women are transformed into a holy community – a church that is a sign of God’s presence as we pursue God’s mission.
In the Northern Illinois Conference, our local churches make a commitment to support local, regional and international mission projects and ministries through the Rainbow Covenant.
Opportunities exist this spring and early summer to visit with missionaries supported by the Northern Illinois Conference. Click here for a list of our missionaries.
