John Wesley summarized God’s teaching into three rules, “Do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God.” In this time of a global pandemic, we focus on “Do no harm.” What does that mean for those of us in mission? UMVIM has created and updated Guidelines for US Project Sites and Team Leaders during COVID-19. Please read through the guidelines for the full information. Updates include encouraging all in mission to be vaccinated and this may be required by the site. It recommends outside work, but there are new strategies if projects can’t avoid inside work. Proper mask wearing, hand washing (sanitizing), and social distancing are a must for all service.
This is an instance that we must show love of our neighbor by taking this seriously and doing all we can to protect others.
