Mission Camp

Posted in Missions, Youth by JGR on the July 31st, 2008

Our group had a wonderful week at Mission Camp, June 29-July 4! Twenty-seven youth and eleven adults spent the week serving with our neighbors in Ashe and Alleghany counties, while staying at Laurel Ridge Moravian Camp. We had five work teams assigned to various projects in the area. We extend our thanks to everyone who participated, and to the congregation for your tremendous support! Here are some pictures from the week:

HIV/AIDS Global Pandemic

Posted in Missions by WNG on the June 19th, 2008

HIV/AIDS is a disaster of overwhelming magnitude that has had devastating effects on populations around the world, especially with our partners in Tanzania. But there is also evidence of risk of epidemic proportions developing in countries in Central America and the Caribbean, where other BWM partners reside.

We believe that faith organizations have a crucial role to play in combating this disease, both in raising awareness and understanding, in promoting preventive strategies and in compassionately caring for those who have HIV/AIDS. As part of our vision to serve others, the Board of World Mission is committed to supporting our partner provinces as they confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
