Time to Celebrate the Virtual Walk Run for Life!
The 2020 Virtual Walk Run for Life event will be topped off tomorrow morning with a brand new 8-minute celebration video! Prepare to smile from ear to ear as you see the creative ways people across our communities championed the gospel and life. Be encouraged by ministry staff as they share brief stories of God on the move. You can watch the video now, or gather your family tomorrow, Saturday May 9th at 9:30 AM to celebrate Jesus together with the broader Align Life Ministries community!
Jesus Is Saving Lives! Join Us!
A client came back to Jesus and her daughter trusted Him for salvation! We'd delivered diapers to the mother and included Bible-themed coloring pages for her daughter. While coloring them, the daughter asked questions about Jesus. Later, our advocate encouraged them to watch an online Good Friday service together. They did, and Jesus captured both of their hearts!

Also, an abortion-minded woman chose life for her baby! She'd come to us in the midst of the coronavirus, afraid for her job and her relationships. She teared up during the ultrasound and especially when we prayed with her. Afterwards she said, "Seeing the baby helped me realize it's alive and real. I'm signing up for your prenatal program."

Join us in sharing the gospel and life!

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

 

Greetings! I hope this finds you safe and well!

 

Thank you for your contribution to MDS in support of our volunteers.

 

Because of the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), as you know, we closed our 16 work projects. Please pray that we will be able to return to these disaster ravaged communities and start the rebuilding process. In the meantime many of our MDS Units are supporting local efforts of making cloth face masks, over 200,000 to date. They are serving in food pantries, and other local tasks. Our volunteers are amazing!

 

With your support we can be ready to start back up again when conditions allow.

 

I am taking the liberty to mail you a copy of our latest book of MDS volunteer stories – I hope you will enjoy reading it.

 

Again, thank you for your generosity!

 

Gratefully,

Dear Friends,

I hope you and your family are safe and healthy during this time of pandemic. And I hope it stays that way for you. At this time of great concern for us all, please be assured that you, and all others who support Mennonite Disaster Service, remain in my prayers.

The pandemic has affected us at MDS, too. On March 13 we suspended the repair and rebuilding of homes in communities across the U.S. and Canada. We will resume responding, rebuilding, and restoring disaster damaged homes once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, volunteers are sewing face masks and finding creative and resourceful ways to provide support in their communities.

In the face of COVID-19, many of us feel helpless. What can we do besides pray and stay home? (As important as that is!) Many would like to do more. But what?

In response to the growing needs associated with the pandemic, organizations around the country are promoting #GivingTuesdayNow. We invite you to participate by making a donation toward a cause of your choice.

Your gift to MDS will position volunteers to resume our mission of responding, rebuilding and restoring once it is safe to do so. Your continued support will help us start things back up— recruiting volunteers, moving equipment, setting up accommodations, replenishing supplies, and many other things needed to get going.

Thanks for considering a gift if you are able to do so.

Again, may you stay safe and healthy. And may God bless you during this challenging time.

Sincerely,
Kevin King
MDS Executive Director
MDS Executive Director, Kevin King, gives an update - Mennonite Disaster Service Unit volunteers are making protective masks; partnering with Everence and Mennonite Central Committee to create a Congregational Relief Fund to aid churches harmed by the pandemic.
