The United Methodist Church has a deep historic connection to the continent of Africa. Alliance’s congregation has been connected to Africa in a very special way through Bill and Jerri Savuto.

The Savutos are United Methodist missionaries appointed to Maua, Kenya in East Africa to establish a presence at The Maua Methodist Hospital located in Igembe. Alliance UMC will join Canadian UMC in a mission venture to Maua, Kenya.

We encourage you to join us on the trip through our blog. Please visit often to stay up to date with all that God is doing!

Jambo!

Well, 2 years later and the day has finally come! We are headed to Africa! Woo hoo!

Asante Sana for all your help with fundraising and prayers and shaving heads. With a lot of faith and a LOT of pennies, nickles, and dimes, we have made our financial goal (and even a little more!).

Now, we need your continued prayers. Please pray for the AUMC group - Pastor Jim McClurg, his daughter Madison McClurg, Greg Surbaugh, his daughter Carrie Surbaugh, and Sandi Mitchell. And for our partners in this mission trip: Canadian UMC as well - Pastor Danny Sanders, his wife Sheryl Sanders, his daughter Meredith Sanders, Paul Lewis, Kyle Jahnel, Mike Gardiner, Karen Metzger, Rick Waterfield and his son, Bryan Waterfield.

If you're available, come on down to the church at 2:30pm today to send us off in praise and prayer. We'll be gone by 2:45pm!

Asante Sana, Rafiki's!

Love you!

Sandi & team
