Mexican and Texas Methodists join hands to work in New Orleans

Susan Hellums of the SW Texas Conference has just returned from New Orleans with an UMVIM team that included seven people from Mexico and nineteen from First UMC, McAllen, TX. Twenty six team members in all. Team members from Mexico included Bishop Pedro Moreno Cano, SE Conference of Mexico and Willie Berman, UMVIM Coordinator for the Eastern Conference of Mexico. Bishop Moreno and his group rode a bus for 16 hours to reach Reynosa, crossed the border into McAllan, then traveled with the McAllen team to New Orleans. They worked together in hurricane relief efforts.
