Sudan VIM Team

Virginia Conference UMVIM Team to Southern Sudan

There is a need for two additional two team members who will be part of the first United Methodist presence in the Southern Sudan city of Rumbek. This Virginia Conference UMVIM team will attempt to build relationships as a first step for a possible future United Methodist presence in the area. Presently, there are no UMC churches in this area of Southern Sudan in the East Africa Conference.

Team members must be very flexible and have a willingness to undergo possible travel hardships with regard to weather, food, and accommodations. Internationally experienced UMVIMers may be especially suited for this mission.

Travel dates are April 20 to May 7, leaving and returning from Richmond. There is a mandatory team meeting March 15 in Great Falls, VA. The cost of the trip is $3700. For more information contact Kip Robinson at Krobin7856@aol.com or 804.264.7856.
