Raise Money for UMVIM Mission Projects
By Brenda St. Clair

Bethlehem Imports provides olive wood carvings made by Christian artisans from Bethlehem, where there is 75% unemployment. Consignments are available to any church or group who would like to earn money for projects; groups keep 30% of sales. The Board of Church and Society has endorsed Bethlehem Imports as a Peace and Justice project.
