She currently serves as a Director of The Board of the United Methodist Publishing House. She has long been active in mission through her involvement with United Methodist Women. She has traveled widely, and is familiar with many parts of the world where VIM has an active presence. Father Elias Chacour, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will be the featured speaker. The Texas Conference invites the Jurisdiction to its first VIM Rally in 1999.
Dates are to be announced later.
This is the last VIM Newsletter I will edit for the South Central Jurisdiction, since I will retire in June. In the six years I have been your Jurisdictional VIM Coordinator, I have been privileged to witness the phenomenal growth in the work of the Holy Spirit called Volunteers in Mission. Nor does VIM show any signs of topping out. There is not only growth in the number of teams, there is also growth in the kinds of opportunities for service. Many more health care professionals are serving.
