DAY OF PRAYER FOR BOARD OF WORLD MISSION
Did you volunteer your time for mission this summer? Are you interested to hear about past and upcoming mission opportunities? In the fall of each year many congregations set aside a particular Sunday to lift up the work and ministry of the Board of World Mission. As a matter of fact, October 14, 2019 is designated as a Day of Prayer for the Board of World Mission in both the Northern and Southern Provinces. We would love any opportunity to learn about mission work you have done and/or assist you in providing your congregation with information about the Board of World Mission. You might even consider a face-to-face encounter with a BWM staff or board member. So please know that we are ready and willing to come visit your congregation, hear your stories, speak about our work, or lead mission discernment workshops, etc.
Please contact us at either of our offices: 610-868-1732 in Bethlehem, PA, or 336-773-1732 in Winston-Salem, NC.
You may also contact us by email: justin@moravianmission.org, sam@moravianmission.org, jill@moravianmission.org, or chris@moravianmission.org.

MORAVIAN DISASTER RESPONSE MINISTRY
Each year, natural disasters devastate the lives of people all over the globe, some of whom are fellow Moravians. More often than not we get news about these storms on the radio, the internet or on TV and wonder what we can do to help.
Moravian Disaster Response, or MDR, is an outreach of the Board of World Mission that offers assistance in areas that have experienced devastation from circumstances beyond people’s control, such as hurricanes, earthquakes or tornadoes. The 2017 hurricane season was especially bad, as three high category hurricanes caused a lot of damage in many areas of the Moravian world. MDR worked with local partners to identify the places where they could have the largest impact: Port Arthur, Texas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
