Grand Traverse District UMW Connects with Palestinians

Grand Traverse District UMW

To the right is the new leadership team of the Grand Traverse District United Methodist Women.  The photo was taken at the annual meeting in Cadillac, MI.  The annual meeting included an in-gathering of medical supplies and vitamins for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. 

After the meeting, the products were sorted and packed for their long trip. 




With the help of Rev. Kristen Brown, the suitcase filled with the products was delivered to the Shepherd Society at Bethlehem Bible College.

Check out how beautiful the flowers are in Palestine at the Bethlehem Bible College, even though it is November.







The Shepherd Society reaches out with humanitarian aid to the Palestinian communities suffering from the occupation of the West Bank and the military assault in Gaza.  They were delighted with the donations of needed humanitarian supplies.










The Shepherd Society is an Advance Project of the General Board of Global Ministries.  Tax free donations may be made through the web site, www.umcmisson.org.  Use the project number #3020439.
