National Council of Churches in the Philippines

The Council, and the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church, the agency from which Tawanda Chandiwana received his Christian commission, are launching a worldwide campaign to call public attention to the plight of Tawanda and two other missionaries who were in the country fulfilling their commission to show God’s love in the world.

Despite continuing efforts by the staff of the local regional United Methodist conference, Philippines-based attorneys and officials with The United Methodist Church, Mr. Chandiwana of Mutare, Zimbabwe, Adam Shaw of Brunswick, Ohio, and Miracle Osman of Blantyre, Malawi, have experienced repeated difficulties getting the legal documents and clearance they need to leave the Republic of the Philippines.

Thank you to The Swan Dreams Project by Aesha Ash for an amazing workshop yesterday!

Thank you to all who participated in our seminar this past weekend! We hope that the event inspired and challenged you to take up a role in one of the many movements working for racial justice in our present context.

A special thanks to our speakers and trainers: Pastor Dale Weatherspoon from the CA/NV Annual Conference Racial Justice Task Force, Diana Flores from Causa Justa Just Cause, Sasha Harris-Cronin and Lis Worcester from Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), and Xan West from Trinity UMC and black.seed.

Thank you to our volunteers who were critical in helping us pull off this event: Matt Pearson and Kandi Weider on lights, set up, and registration, and Maggie Lohmeyer on food/hospitality.

And brava to our US-2 Global Missions Fellow, NaQuita Coates, for her skills in helping to plan, facilitate, and moderate our first community social justice seminar. We're grateful for NaQuita's service among us and look forward to her leadership in future events.

Stay tuned for additional opportunities to show up and get involved as we plan for the future.
