Blood Drive
Thank you for all of your help in making Friday’s blood drive a success! The team was able to collect 28 lifesaving pints of blood on a goal of 26 pints. Congratulations for exceeding your goal by 7!
The team there also took a nice photo in preparation for the super bowl, see attached. They had nothing but good things to say about how the day went, so I am hoping the donors felt the same way.
Our next drive is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2025.

Greetings QUMC,
Here is some good news to share with you. Starting in January 2025, my placement as a Global Missionary to Nicaragua through the General Board of Global Ministries will be renewed. For a second term, I will serve as the volunteer Liaison for Faith and Health Partnerships with Fundación AMOS Salud y Esperanza (AMOS Health and Hope). I am deeply grateful to God and to the leadership at both agencies for their guidance and support to make it possible for me to continue in mission service.
Equally important are your ongoing prayers and financial gifts to the Advance that make it possible for me to live the call to serve as your missionary. My deepest thanks to you for helping me be a part of the connection to share and receive the love of Christ as we build God’s new creation together.
Grace and peace,
Belinda
