30 Years of Project AGAPE

Listen on

Episode notes

For more than 30 years, Project AGAPE has been one of our best mutual aid programs. A partnership between the Western North Carolina Conference, the North Carolina Conference, and the Armenian Apostolic Church, Project AGAPE has been serving the people of Armenia, the world's oldest Christian country, since 1993. 

In today's episode of Means of Grace, we take you to Mt. Pleasant UMC which recently hosted a 30 year celebration for the founders, organizers and volunteers that make Project AGAPE special. We speak directly with leadership like Miss Nara Melkonyan, missionary and Project AGAPE Country Director, Reverend. Allan Van Meter, Chair of the Project AGAPE Board, and Senior Pastor at Mount Pleasant, and Hope Morgan Ward, Retired United Methodist Bishop, about the history of the program, the people it serves, and how you, the listener, can also get involved!
