Valley View is involved in mission work throughout the world. We support two missionaries in Kenya, Africa as well as other international mission work.
Kenya Missionaries - Valley View UMC supports Bill and Jerri Savuto at the Maua Methodist Hospital in Maua, Kenya, Africa. Information concerning the missionaries and their work and links to their letters concerning their work can be found on the link. Take a look at what UMCOR is presently doing in Kenya--Starvation in Kenya.
Heifer International Project - Today, thanks to the Heifer project, millions of people who were once hungry are being nourished through a program that gives families cows, pigs, goats, chickens, or other sustainable sources of food and income to grow and feed themselves. Also, through the "Passing on the Gifts" program the recipients share the offspring of their animal with others in need which makes them partners in the fight to end hunger. Valley View collects funds weekly for the Heifer project.
United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) - UMCOR is a national and international organization that meets needs of disaster victims all over the world. Take a look at what UMCOR is presently doing in Kenya--Starvation in Kenya.
Malaria Initiatives - The distribution of millions mosquito nets in this African represents the collaboration of two anti-malaria programs supported by United Methodists church. Every year, more than a million children die from this malaria, a preventable disease. This is an effort to beat this disease and save future generations. Valley View has raised money through the church and in Vacation Bible School to buy mosquito nets for Africa.
Fair Trade (Coffee, Tea, Chocolate) - This fair trade system allows farmers to earn a stable and fair price for their crops. Importers also commit to buy from small farmer co-operatives, and to establishing direct, long-term purchasing relationships with the co-ops, including support for sustainable agriculture and the offer of low-cost pre-harvest credit. Valley View has Fair Trade coffee, tea, and chocolate available for purchase in the foyer of the church.
