Global Migration Meeting Christ at the table

Legacy United Methodist Church in Bismarck, North Dakota, received an UMCOR Mustard Seed Migration Grant to support Ukrainian immigrants in their community. The church held inter-cultural cooking classes so that congregants and community members could teach each other recipes from their home country, creating unity in food and table fellowship despite language barriers.

Wow, I just did a little thing, and it brought so much. Opportunities like this are a great conduit to serve and do God’s work. – Kenton Carlson, Legacy UMC church member

UMCOR was the first organization to come to our aid, and support was distributed to everyone, without discrimination … Many Masai have joined the UMC after witnessing
