Conference-Related Ministry Profile: The Worm Project

by

by Jennifer Svetlik

Editor’s note: The Worm Project was approved by Mosaic’s board as a Conference-Related Ministry and will be welcomed at Mosaic’s Assembly on November 2, 2024.  
 
They invite all to attend their Free Benefit Banquet on Saturday, October 26, at 6 pm at the Franconia Heritage Restaurant. Hear inspiring stories from keynote speaker, Howard Schiffer, founder and President of Vitamin Angels. The meal is free; reservations are required by Oct. 20. Leave your name and number of attendees by email to info@wormproject.org or by phone at 267-932-6050 x201.   

The Worm Project is a global initiative that strives to relieve the suffering of millions of children throughout the world through raising money to purchase and distribute deworming medicine to those who need it most. The medicine is purchased in large quantities at discounted prices, and The Worm Project works closely with partner organizations to distribute the medicine. Deworming medicine is the most cost-effective way to impact the health of children.  

For 25 years, this all-volunteer ministry, of which Mosaic Conference has been a fiscal sponsor, has helped prevent malnutrition in children caused by parasitic worms. The ministry was founded by Franconia Conference missionary Claude Good, who worked with the indigenous Triqui peoples of Mexico. The book How to Change the World One Penny at a Time: The Story of Claude Good and the Worm Project tells this story in greater detail (and all proceeds from the book sale go to purchase deworming medicine).

The Worm Project is now becoming independent as a Conference-Related Ministry (CRM) of Mosaic Conference. The CRM seeks to “be God’s hands and feet, helping nourish the minds, bodies, and souls of His children all over the world,” and is guided by Matthew 25:40, among other scripture texts. 

Roughly one-quarter of the world’s children are at risk of being infected by parasitic worms, which can rob children of up to a third of their daily nutritional intake and cause cognitive and physical impairment. The treatment is an effective, safe pill that costs less than three cents and eliminates all worms in a child. Recommended treatment is every six months to one year.

With the generous support of many donors, last year The Worm Project was able to donate medicine to treat nearly 11 million children in Honduras, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and beyond.  Using World Health Organization data from 2022, we calculate our medicine donations would treat roughly 9% of children under age five who were treated that year for parasitic worms. 

“As the home conference of our founder, Claude Good, Franconia Mennonite Conference and now Mosaic, has supported The Worm Project in many ways since our beginning back in the 1990s, shares Gary Delp, Board President.  “We hope to continue Claude’s vision to help all children be free of parasitic worms.” 

The Worm Project asks congregations in Mosaic Conference to pray that God will open the hearts of people to donate freely so they can help more children needing treatment. Less than 50% of children under age 5 who were at risk for parasitic worm infections were treated last year.

Conference-Related Ministries, Together 

by

by Margaret Zook

Mosaic’s Conference-Related Ministries (CRMs) serve their communities through nurture, formation, witness, care and discipling. They are led by individual boards, and are in relationship with each other through Mosaic Conference, grounded in shared Anabaptist values. Mosaic’s CRMs are geographically disbursed, vary in size and scope, and offer a wide variety of ministries.  

The “CRM Together” trips that have taken place over the past year have sought to “create a village” through visiting each other’s spaces, sharing stories, listening to the needs in our communities, learning and praying. These trips have invited CRM leaders to reflect on questions such as, “where can we help each other? What resources and gifts do we possess that can maximize the thriving of our communities?”

During Conference-Related Ministry Together Trips to Bike & Sol (East Greenville, PA), Mennonite Central Committee Material Resource Center (Harleysville, PA), Ripple Community, Inc. (Allentown, PA), a learning trip with Mennonite Historians of Eastern PA (Harleysville), a gathering at North Penn Commons (Lansdale, PA), and a Board & CEO luncheon with Assistant Moderator Roy Williams (North Tampa [FL] Christian Fellowship), CRM Together trips offered a place for sharing organizational beginnings, dreams for the future, and hopes for collective ministry opportunities.

“I find it inspirational to learn how members of our faith community are serving and supporting other CRMs in our community,” shared Sarah Bergin, Executive Director, Care & Share Thrift Shoppes (Souderton, PA). “These opportunities provide me with ideas and encouragement in my leadership role.”

The last stop on the tour was to North Penn Commons, a vibrant public center that houses four local nonprofit organizations that provide affordable housing, senior services, health and wellness services, job training, and food for those in need.  

Sheldon Good (Salford [Harleysville, PA]), director of Development and Strategic Direction, at Manna on Main Street, one of the four nonprofit organizations co-located at North Penn Commons, shared with the group of CRM leaders gathered, “The collective power of the faith community is both so strong and so underleveraged.”  

The CRM Together trips have sought to harness that collective power to develop deeper relationships across ministries, support one another, and seek to creatively continue to serve needs in our various communities.  

“These visits have reminded us of the diversity, importance, and connection of our community work,” reflected Wayne Mugrauer, President, St. Luke’s Penn Foundation. 

“We have all been inspired by this experience and the opportunity to learn, share, and grow.”

Founded in 2003, the MRC moved to Souderton, PA in 2010. The center is located just off Schoolhouse Road, between Harleysville and Souderton. A three-day MCC meat canning event takes place here in the spring each year. 

Darning Egg Gifts is also located in the MRC building. Items such as hand-loomed rugs, comforters, aprons, items for babies, pillows, and home decorating items are handmade or repurposed. All items, donated by the creative artisans, are perfect gifts for many occasions. Sales from Darning Egg Gifts support the work of MRC.

Volunteers of all ages, and many faith backgrounds, contribute to the goal of supporting MCC’s work in the following ways:

  • checking and packing kits 
  • cutting and sewing patches for comforters 
  • cutting and sewing kit bags
  • quilting by hand and machine
  • knotting comforters
  • cutting and packing discarded T-shirts for sale as rags
  • sorting and baling excess items from Care and Share Thrift Shoppes 
  • baling cardboard for recycling
  • weaving rugs from strips cut from jeans and corduroy pants 
  • making unique gift items for Darning Egg Gifts
  • assisting with office work

Because of COVID-19, the need for hygiene supplies and other materials that MRC sends worldwide have been in high demand. MRC volunteers have adapted to new ways of working at the center, with temperature checks, mask wearing, and social distancing.

Donations of items for school kits, relief kits, and hygiene kits are appreciated (see our website for lists of kit contents) as well as fabrics for making drawstring bags and comforters. Cardboard and T-shirts can also be dropped off for recycling. Cardboard is baled in the warehouse and sold to a paper company. T-shirts that are 100% cotton are cut into pieces and sold as rags.

Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated and can be sent by check or given securely on the website.

Creating Helpful and Spirit-Filled Community

Margaret Zook

“How lifegiving it is to recognize that our congregations are not just alive on Sunday morning,” shares Margaret Zook, Director of Collaborative Ministries for Mosaic Conference. This new part-time role serves as the team leader for accompaniment relationships with Conference Related Ministries (CRMs).  

“There is such a richness in our CRMs,” reflects Zook. “They each have a unique origin and focus on meeting a particular community need.”  Zook anticipates assisting congregations and CRMs to bring their skills and knowledge together more intentionally in order to create a more helpful, just, and Spirit-filled community.

Zook brings a wealth of experience to this new role, having worked for and leading several CRMs in southeastern Pennsylvania. For over 20 years she served as Executive Director of Souderton Mennonite Homes, a CRM that was created in 1917. Then five years ago, after Souderton Mennonite Homes merged to become part of Living Branches, Zook was called back to serve as Director of Church and Community Relations. She has also served on numerous boards of community organizations, including 10 years on the board of Penn Foundation, another CRM.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with CRMs through my professional life and board work,” shares Zook. “These experiences have made me see the value of being connected to and supported by the conference.” 

In her role Zook will visit the CRMs and relate to their boards and leadership. She will listen to and share the stories of their missions, successes, and needs across the conference. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to walk along the existing and new and emerging CRMs,” Zook explains. “Hearing, seeing, and sharing the transforming work that is being done is such an honor.” 

Zook knows the value of a conference network for these organizations. “A foundation of faith and a connection to church sets CRMs apart from other nonprofit organizations,” she shares. “It gives a sense of accountability that is a stabilizing force for an organization.”

Most of Zook’s life has been in southeastern Pennsylvania, both intentionally as well as by birth. “I have loved my congregation [Salford] and my community,” Zook reflects.  She has a fairly large extended family, which includes ten grandchildren. She enjoys visiting her family in Florida and Colorado and staying in touch with them however she can. 

Zook and her husband value walking together, and currently have a goal to walk the entire Perkiomen Trail, in sections. She is an avid reader and is a member of two book clubs. She enjoys gardening and friendships.  

Professionally and personally, Zook identifies her faith as a motivating factor for life. “My faith drives me in a way I can’t put fully into words,” she explains. “It is who I am and what I do, and it leads me to service. I believe God has placed us here to make this earth a better place, to serve the beautiful earth and its people.”

Donated Land Becomes Camp with a Mission

Bethany Birches Camp began in 1965 when Lloyd and Alice Moyer gifted land in Plymouth, Vermont to be used as a summer camp for young people. The Moyers had noticed that many area summer camps were very expensive. They wanted a place for children from modest families to have options for constructive summer activities. Nevin Bender, the pastor of nearby Bethany Mennonite Church at that time, became the first camp director, and served, with the help of his wife Lourene, until 1980. 

Bethany Birches had modest beginnings with volunteer staff, tents as the only lodging, and days filled with old fashioned camping fun. Since then the camp has grown both in sophistication, programming, staffing, and facilities while still maintaining its rustic roots and core values.  Today we run summer and winter camps, rent the facilities, and seek financial and volunteer support so we are able to provide our programs affordably.

The core mission of Bethany Birches Camp is to help young people develop their relationship with God by providing them with a Christ-centered camping experience in a natural and nurturing environment. The leadership team assembles summer and winter staff teams who are committed to this mission.

Each year over 400 children, ages 6-17, attend Bethany Birches Camp and many attend for multiple weeks. True to its original mission of accessibility, about half of the campers can attend because they receive financial assistance. Most campers do not attend church. Only 17% report active engagement in a church, and only 16% feel their faith is strong and supported at home. 

With careful guidance, training, and supervision, we craft programs within our core values of community, fun, nature, and God. We build relationships, care for each other, and live together in family-sized camping groups. Campers and counselors live together in the woods on the Bethany Birches property in the Green Mountains of Vermont during both summer and winter.  

We at Bethany Birches Camp are thrilled to be salt and light as we live in the Way of Jesus among those who may have never read the Bible, heard the gospel, or encountered Jesus.  We have seen growth, transformation, and new life among our campers.

Bethany Birches Camp is the result of much support and effort from Vermont and Pennsylvania church communities. As Laurene Bender said, “We say ‘with God all things are possible.’ However, it takes people willing to do the sweat work and who have the vision.” 

Each year volunteer groups come for a week to help maintain and improve the property. Mowing, woodcutting, office, and accounting work has been consistently done with the help of volunteers. Help is always needed during the summer and winter in the kitchen as well. Campers are sponsored through the Kids to Camp fund and counselors receive support that the camp matches.  

Anyone interested in investing their time and resources in the lives of children should email camp@bethanybirches.org or call 802-672-5220.  

Please consider joining us for our annual benefit auction (virtually) November 6-8, 2020.  Visit www.bethanybirches.org/benefit-auction/ for more info and to get signed up for emails. 

Prayer request:

  • Help Bethany Birches Camp to utilize the experience they gained from running summer camp during this pandemic. Help them move forward to benefit and love their community this fall and winter.
  • Lord, make yourself visible to the summer campers who shared the difficulties they are experiencing being stuck at home.  Give them hope. 
  • Give strength, creativity, and peace to parents who are struggling to tend to their responsibilities while their children are learning from home.

Penn Foundation: A Model for the Country and the World
by Penn Foundation

Penn Foundation’s history is one of unique community partnerships around a shared vision of providing the most leading-edge and highest-quality mental health care for the community, in the community.

Penn Foundation was founded in 1955 by Dr. Michael Peters, then Chief of Medicine at Grand View Hospital, and Dr. Norman Loux, a Souderton, PA native and family physician who recognized that many of his patients had “emotional problems.” These two men garnered the support of other area business leaders to establish a community-based mental health center, a novel concept at that time. 

Their vision, which was tremendously innovative, was recognized in 1962 when the National Institute of Mental Health called Penn Foundation a “model for the country and the world.”

We have continued to strive to be a pioneer and leader in our field to this day, providing high-quality, innovative, evidence-based mental health and addiction treatment and prevention programs to our community. With headquarters in Sellersville, PA, Penn Foundation employs 455 compassionate professionals that serve more than 20,000 children, adolescents, and adults each year with integrated, holistic care designed to meet the unique needs of each person. We also partner with businesses, schools, churches, law enforcement, physicians and healthcare providers, and others to shine a light on mental health and addiction issues and provide education and resources on these topics. 

Penn Foundation believes in treating the whole person – mind, body, spirit. Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Carl Yusavitz (center), Mosaic Mennonite Conference member, provides spiritual support to Penn Foundation clients of all faith backgrounds. PHOTO CREDIT: Lowell Swartley Photography

Building community has always been part of Penn Foundation’s mission. We do this in a variety of ways: 

  • offering innovative, responsive care
  • creating a welcoming, safe community among our clients and residents that supports their journeys of change and recovery
  • being responsible stewards of the generous gifts and resources that we have been given
  • participating in community events and supporting partner organizations. 

As we look to the future, we remain committed to effectively meeting the needs of our community. We will continue to reimagine the services we provide, remain a pioneer in our approach to care, and seek strategic partners who want to help us advance our mission. 

Community support was instrumental to the founding of Penn Foundation, and it continues to be a key factor in our ability to provide mental health and addiction care to our community. We are incredibly grateful to our caring community, which has generously answered our calls for help over the past six decades. To learn more about Penn Foundation, or to give the gift of hope and ensure that mental health and addiction services continue to be available, please visit our website at www.PennFoundation.org or contact Kim Detwiler, Vice President of Advancement and Communications, at (215) 453-5190.

Conference Related Ministries (CRM) Profile: Delaware Valley MEDA

by Lucy Brubaker, DelVal MEDA chair

The mission of Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA) is to provide business solutions to poverty. This international organization began 65 years ago. Today MEDA has projects in 69 countries throughout the world.

MEDA aspires to eradicate poverty by 2030. By providing loans and expertise and by involving local partners in the projects, MEDA clients are able to experience success and independence. To learn more about this work, go to www.meda.org/about/about-meda.

There are local chapters (hubs) in the US and Canada that work to connect and engage local people with MEDA’s mission. The local chapters strive to inspire members within their community to incorporate their faith values into their daily work. The Delaware Valley MEDA hub (formally the Clayton Kratz Fellowship) has a board of ten members and meets 4-5 times a year.

From October to May, our local hub hosts a monthly Third Thursday breakfast at the Franconia Café in Souderton, PA, from 6:30-7:30am. Each meeting features a guest speaker who shares a “Faith in the Marketplace” story. All are welcome to attend.

Ruth Leaman, MEDA Development Officer, speaks at a Third Thursday breakfast.

Our group also offers MEDA scholarships to young people attending college with a declared major under the umbrella of traditional business/management disciplines and who fulfill the criteria.

Each year, we plan one or two fundraising events to raise money for MEDA projects. Our special event, “An Evening to Remember Clayton Kratz and Benefit Ukraine,” originally scheduled for October 19, 2020, is rescheduled for the spring of 2021. This event will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the disappearance of Clayton Kratz in 1920 while on a relief mission with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) to Russia.

In November, the bi-national MEDA convention will be held virtually this year. We encourage attendance at the convention to learn more about MEDA’s work and to be inspired by engaging speakers and seminar leaders. To learn more about the MEDA convention, go to www.meda.org/meda-convention.

This week, the local Delaware Valley MEDA hub is participating in a MEDA Move-a-thon to raise money for MEDA projects. There was a virtual kickoff on August 14 and the closing is on August 22.  An anonymous donor will match up to $5,000 in donations.

We invite you to join us in prayer for:

  • our clients who are experiencing setbacks in their businesses because of COVID-19, natural disasters, and government resistance to their work.
  • MEDA president, Dorothy Nyambi, and her staff, as they make important decisions regarding MEDA’s work.
  • our local Delaware Valley MEDA hub as we strive to increase awareness of MEDA’s mission and vision (That all people may unleash their God-given potential to earn a livelihood, provide for families and enrich communities).
 

Conference Related Ministries (CRM) Profile: Care & Share Thrift Shoppes

by

In the mid 1970’s, several women and men in their thirties got thinking, “How can we take the Sunday morning message of serving others and put that call into action during the week?” After some brainstorming, Care & Share Thrift Shoppes in Souderton, PA was born. 

Care and Share Thrift Shoppes in Souderton, PA donated over $1 million dollars to the work of Mennonite Central Committee in 2019.

From its very beginning, Care & Share has been in the Souderton (PA) Center on Route 113. Currently, there are 5 shoppes – Furniture, Clothing, Books, Variety, and the Outlet. Care & Share also has an online presence on eBay. We are grateful for the quality and volume of donations we receive from our generous donors. These donations have made us well known for selling “high quality” products. 

The dollars spent at Care & Share impact thousands of lives. In 2019, over 200,000 transactions took place at our registers. Further, we were the first independent, non-profit thrift store in the US or Canada to give over one million dollars to charity in one calendar year (2019).  Since 1975, over 19 million dollars have been given to Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) as a result of purchases at our shoppes. 

Care & Share is not only about raising money for MCC. It stands as a place where community is built. We hear from customers and volunteers – Care & Share is “church” for them. 

Volunteers at Care & Share Thrift Shoppes in Souderton, PA gladly display some of the variety of items for sale.

This non-profit business is run by 52 paid employees who bring an enthusiasm for empowering our volunteers who are the heart of Care & Share. It is the volunteer’s gift of time and talent that creates our success. 

We welcome a wide range of volunteers – ages 8 to over 100 years old. Some join us through the more “traditional” route as they are looking for “something to do” in retirement. Volunteers also join us through a group, such as a youth, work, school, family, or service group. We host those who need to serve hours for court ordered community service. Other individuals are volunteering, with staff support, from 40+ organizations who work with folks with disabilities. They may come for one reason, but they stay because they found a home in the community. 

The Care & Share community is greatly impacted by the pandemic. During the three months that we were closed, we did our very best to stay connected to our “community.” We shared inspiring phone calls, increased the distribution of our e-newsletter, and created a live cooking show on Facebook. Our community greatly missed us, almost as much as we missed them! 

A group of summer volunteers at the Care & Share, which helps support Mennonite Central Committee.

By mid-June, we re-opened two shoppes, with modified hours, run by our paid staff. We are following the state guidelines with masks/face shields, social distancing, and increases in cleaning. These steps have added significant costs to our operation. 

Fortunately, by July, we had enough volunteers to open another shoppe. Only 30% of our 1,000+ volunteer base has returned to serving. We will need many more helping hands, on a regular basis, to reopen all of our shoppes. We do not want our volunteers to return until they are comfortable to do so. We will be patient! 

Please pray for the pandemic to end. Our customers, volunteers, and employees are struggling under the increased anxiety and isolation it is causing. Please pray that Care & Share can continue to be a light in our community. Please refer us as a place to volunteer. We can accommodate larger groups even with social distancing in place.

Please consider making a financial donation to MCC. The loss of donations from thrift shops and relief sales is causing MCC to rely on individual donors more than ever. Care & Share is grateful for your support.
