FROM NORTH
CENTRAL TEXAS
DISTRICT UMW
From a
Colorado Council of Churches
Study on Immigration
“I don’t
care what Jesus said!
I don’t want
those people here!”
`
Cindy Johnson, immigration counselor for
UMW, Inc., and interim executive secretary for
Christian social action, spoke to Rose Watson on Wednesday with this
report.
The involved bishops from both Texas and
Mexico and a bishop from Honduras have recently visited in Brownsville. They
agree that a top priority is to protect the immigrants—particularly youthful
ones—from human predators. So they need advocates for children, to help keep
them safe.
Personal needs for the immigrants
include sports bras (since these garments come in small/medium/large) and
underwear.
The greatest need in Brownsville at the
moment is financial support for the Good Neighbor Settlement House, which is a
national mission institution of UMW. Gifts can be made through your UMW Unit (except
for the Unit at FUMC Denton). Or you may send a check made payable to Good
Neighbor Settlement House, to the House at 1254 Tyler Street, Brownsville,
78520.
Cindy issued an enthusiastic invitation
to North Center District United Methodist Women to visit and see for ourselves
the work they are doing at Good Settlement.
