National Missions
Youth for Christ has been reaching the lost youth of your world for 55 years. Millions of young people have been reached through this worldwide ministry since it was founded by Torrey Johnson and Billy Graham. The vision of Youth for Christ is to give every young person a chance to make an informed decision for Christ and to become part of a local church.
International Missions
Homeless and Orphan Outreach, Inc. (HOOI) was formed in 1982 when Memorial UMC became involved with the care of orphaned and homeless children in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, their need and our interest caused some members of Memorial to form an independent corporation to help meet the needs of these children on a continuing basis. More than 1,000 children are helped daily. For more information, contact Troy White, PO Box, 1370, Lake Placid, FL 33862.
