November's Mission of the Month is Africa University

As United Methodists, we aim to lead people toward transformation through Jesus Christ. To support this mission, we support Africa University, a mission that is near and dear to Bishop Trimble’s heart. In 2022, he launched a missional challenge to create an endowment fund that will provide scholarships to students at Africa University.
