UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is responding to the massive earthquake that leveled several cities in Peru on Aug. 15 through their partners, the Methodist Church of Peru and Action by Churches Together, an international relief alliance. The Methodist Church in Peru is preparing a long-term response to help Southern Peru make a full recovery. UMCOR is supporting them in this important effort. Join the effort by giving to International Disaster Response, Peru Earthquake, UMCOR Advance #982450. You can donate directly to UMCOR (www.umcor.org), or you can make your check out to Good Samaritan and indicate the UMCOR Advance #982450 on the memo line.   

Visit www.umcor.org for information on the many other UMCOR ministries.  And please pray for those who are hungry, displaced, sick, or in poverty because of these and other natural and human-made disasters, and for the workers who minister to them.
