What is missions and how are we doing it.
Missions can be defined as reaching out to those in need through the overflowing love of Christ. Usually mission work take the form of tangible necessities that an individual, family, or community has due to difficult circumstances. Life is hard, but the promise of Christ is that God is with us, even in the difficulties of life. We live this out by helping one through the love of Jesus Christ who gave unselfishly gave his life for us and in return we unselfishly give to another out of the same love and grace.

Global Missions: About UMCOR
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is the not-for-profit global humanitarian aid organization of the United Methodist Church. UMCOR is working in more than 80 countries worldwide, including the United States. Our mission, grounded in the teachings of Jesus, is to alleviate human suffering—whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster, with open hearts and minds to all people.
UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters that are interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own.
PartnershipWe partner with local partner organizations and survivors to rebuild their livelihoods, health and homes. In times of acute crisis we mobilize emergency supplies, fresh water, and temporary shelter to stricken areas, and then stay as long as it takes to implement long-term recovery. Our workers are known all over the globe for their compassion, leadership, expertise and guidance in recovery efforts.
Connections
UMCOR works through programs that address hunger, poverty, sustainable agriculture, international and domestic emergencies, refugee and immigrant concerns, global health issues, and transitional development. United Methodist hearts and hands are part of every program implemented; school kit, seed, health kit, fresh water and tool distributed in the US and throughout the world; and every new house, well, clinic and school rebuilt after catastrophes of conflict or nature.
Most importantly, our work connects us in a global network of generous donors and equally generous beneficiaries.
Funding Promise-100% Efficient
Every dollar you give to UMCOR goes to the program you designate. UMCOR is 100% efficient.
The One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering allows us to make—and to keep—this promise. OGHS funds the cost of doing business for UMCOR. We do not receive apportionment funds or any other world service funds.
