UMCOR is already responding to the earthquakes in southern Turkey and northwest Syria through a grant to International Blue Crescent, a longstanding partner with offices in Turkey. According to UMCOR: “the grant will provide tents, heaters, blankets, warm clothes, ready to eat meals and basic first aid kits.” Gary Beach is working on setting up online giving for this cause and we’ll take a special offering on Sunday, February 12, 2023.
