One Great Hour of Sharing is March 18

February 16, 2012

One Great Hour of Sharing is just weeks away. Now is the time to order your free offering resources to use on this special Sunday.

“Oh my poor children, they will become orphans soon!” This was the painful response from Dalita, a mother of three children who learned she was HIV positive during a voluntary HIV testing event in Armenia. She is now living a healthier life, thanks to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) office in Armenia, which provided Dalita with counseling, support and antiretroviral medication.

UMCOR Armenia’s Prevention and Control of HIV, STIs and TB program is providing comprehensive testing and counseling services through mobile medical teams, helping people like Dalita to live healthy lives as they gain a new perspective about their HIV status. In the past year, UMCOR Armenia served 16 villages through 146 trained health volunteers and mobile medical teams.

One Great Hour of Sharing provides the money to pay UMCOR’s overhead costs to make life-changing programs like these possible.
