    Joplin Disaster Relief

     

    On May 22, Joplin Missouri was hit by a massive tornado which tore a 6-mile wide path across southwestern Missouri. This tragedy has killed over 100 people and affected thousands more. It is believed that at least two churches were lost as well as the district office.

    Ways to Help

    1.) Contribute to the Joplin Disaster Relief Fund

    Donations received will primarily go to help the congregations, people and families affected.

    The Missouri Conference has established a fund to receive monies into the Disaster Response account #7465.  A special Sunday offering will be collected on May 29th, through local congregations.  Donations for relief may be made through the local church or checks marked #7465 may be made payable to the Missouri Annual Conference and mailed directly to the Treasurer’s Office  at 3601 Amron Court, Columbia, Missouri, 65202.

    You may also donate now. Please click the PayPal button to give generously to those in need in the Joplin area.
