Towards a New Future for UMVIM
As we try our best to serve you and to rally United Methodists into the mission field, UMVIM is exploring new options for the future. Next week representatives from the 5 U.S. jurisdictional UMVIM offices will gather in Nashville, TN to talk about how we can cooperate more closely and improve the resources we offer you. We don't know where the discussion will lead, but some of the ideas on the table are: streamlining down to one website, one newsletter/communication platform, one unified project list, and one insurance program.
We are a grassroots organization and whatever happens, we do not want to lose our local character and presence in each annual conference. But at a time when there is so much talk of division, UMVIM is modeling unity and cooperation through our shared mission as United Methodists.
