Filipino United Methodists are rallying to help survivors of a series of tropical storms that have caused massive flooding, washing out roads and destroying homes and crops.
After a typhoon and oil spill, church leaders joined with UMCOR and the local disaster response office to distribute rice and help combat climate change in coastal areas.
United Methodist bishops are praying for the elections of colleagues in the Philippines, Africa and Europe. Their hope is that any new bishops are committed to the denomination.
