Celebration of Found Coins for May 9—30, 2010
Red Bird Mission
On Sundays, May 9-30, our Celebration of Found Coins will be designated for the Red Bird Mis-sion, an outreach of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church within the Red Bird Missionary Conference. Red Bird Mission and Clinic have been providing ministries in this region of the Appalachian Mountains since 1921. Today the need remains criti-cal in this isolated, rural distressed area. Chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain provide obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of this area. Red Bird Mis-sion and Clinic strives to meet these needs through ministry in five areas: Education, Health and Wellness, Community Outreach, Economic Opportunity, and Community Housing Improve-ment.
Support for these ministries come from churches and individuals across the nation. However, in recent years Red Bird Mission has experienced a decline in the support they are receiving. They are currently facing a financial crisis that is making it difficult to continue all the areas of minis-tries they provide. Without more funding today, Red Bird Mission will have to reduce the level of ministry provided to the Appalachian community. Your donations to Red Bird Mission and Clinic will help continue these vital ministries in this distressed region of Appalachia.
