The mission program works in partnership with the Liberia and Sierra Leone United Methodist annual conferences on projects related to Christian-based education and health care. U.S. conferences, districts and churches have opportunities to assist with teaching and school needs and help rejuvenate the Kissy Clinic in Sierra Leone and Ganta Hospital in Liberia through Operation Doctor.
Wagner, who is the U.S. coordinator said they also are looking for a volunteer for Ganta Mission Station who could service the computers there and train one or two persons in how to service the equipment.
To volunteer or to provide information on possible resources, contact Wagner by e-mail at wagners@operationclassroom.org or by telephone at (765) 436-2805.

Worhipping God at Trinity United Methodist Church is a spiritual experience. Unconditional love is the best way to describe the feeling . Each worship experience is a sweet experience of God's presence. Whether we are taking communion, singing, hearing the Word of God, baptizing, or just greeting one another love is present. From the very first day Corlis and I walked through the doors of Trinity we have experienced the warmth of God's abiding presence. Each day we feel a warm blanket of God's love and protection around us. Shelbyville is not a large city, but the people have warm hearts.
We want to share this love with you. I thank God each day that our family is privileged to serve in this congregation of believers.
Sincerely yours,
Datha Dees
