Mountains to Mountains: a multi-media package of stories

with one comment

At this year’s Annual Conference in June, I heard about “Mountains to Mountains”,  a ministry that began in the Ronceverte Charge (Greenbrier District) about 9 years ago. Several churches now work with with MTM, including Community of Grace (Huntington, Western District), and Peterstown UMC (Greenbrier District).

In July, I met with Rev. Michael Estep and handed him an audio recorder to take with him to Haiti. He recorded some great stuff – which resulted in this little audio postcard. You’ll hear children in the village of Mizak welcome the team back and sounds from a feeding ministry in Port-Au-Prince that is the only meal of the day for many of the children served.

I had to ask Mike about his connection with Haiti – here’s what he had to say:

Read Mike’s reflection in this month’s West Virginia United Methodist; and I hope you enjoy the audio pieces as well! This is the first multi-media package (print, audio, photos) entirely gathered by a local church. Let me or Adam know if you have an interest in multi-media story-telling at your church or ministry, and we’ll be glad to help you get started.

This choir sang a welcome for a Mountains to Mountains work team in August, 2011.
