You’re invited to join Disciples of Christ from
Disciples’ churches across the Georgia region on one of two
People-to-People Pilgrimages to the Christian Hospital, Mungeli, India
this winter. Sponsored by the Division of Overseas Ministries of the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the UCC’s Global Ministries
Board, these Pilgrimages put churches in contact with their global
mission partners around the world. Approximate trip dates for the two
pilgrimages this winter are:
- Pilgrimage I December 27 – January 7
- Pilgrimage II February 7 - February 21
To learn more about the Mungeli Hospital and the work
of its director, Dr. Anil Henry, our Global Mission Partner
please:
For more information please email Rev. Landa Harris
Simmons at landahs@bellsouth.net.
Over 20
people from Disciples churches in the Georgia region are being called to
be God’s witnesses on a People-to-People Pilgrimage to India this
winter, although in this instance they will be witnesses in a very
different way. A witness is one who testifies to what he has seen and
heard and knows to be true. While these pilgrims will surely testify to
their own faith, the purpose of our journey lies in our desire to become
witnesses to the living out of the Good News at the Christian Hospital,
Mungeli India. We hope to see first hand how our Global Ministry takes
place at “the ends of the earth”. I hope that as a result of seeing and
sharing the “witnessing, loving, and serving” of Drs. Anil and Teri
Henry, their Christian hospital, school and congregation in Mungeli,
that all of us will be become better witnesses to our own faith.
