A team of 21 people returned from Armenia last month having rebuilt two more homes of folks living in deplorable conditions. Project AGAPE continues to minister to our brothers and sisters. Even though it has been 15 years since this ministry by the WNCC and NCC began there is still great need in certain parts of the country particularly Berdzor and surrounding villages.
Project AGAPE Sunday – April 18
Project AGAPE continues its ministry in Armenia focusing on the area around the town of Berdzor. With unemployment still hovering around 60% and very little government or international aid, the people in this area of the world need the basics to survive. So the WNCC and NCC continues to solicit support from United Methodist across the state of NC. WNCC has set Sunday, April18 as AGAPE Sunday. On this day the AGAPE Board requests each church to collect any of the following items so they can be shipped to Armenia:
1. Canned meats, Canned vegetables, Canned fruits (Make sure the expiration date is at least one year out.)
2. Children’s clothing in good condition and clean
3. New Shoes for all ages and sizes
4. Sewing supplies like cloth, thread, needles, etc
5. Money donations to support the Cattle Project (This program functions like the Heifer Project.) Money to help this year’s Building team to renovate 2 homes in Berdzor.)
Please box your donations with like donations, fill box, tape and label its contents. Collect from April 11 – April 18. Then take your boxes to the district drop-off location from April 19 – April 23. These items will be picked up and taken to the Mission Response Center on Tuesday, April 27.
