Here are some of the ways your gifts have been used:
In Lebanon and Syria, families in the 40 congregations of the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon are being supported in the midst of failing economies.
In South Sudan, the Nile Theological College (seminary) is able to upgrade its fledgling technologies to allow for distance learning.
In northern Brazil, the poor are flooding out of the Amazon River basin and seeking medical help and food in Manaus where a large congregation is ministering to them.
In Zambia, the Synod is assisting its pastors in small villages whose meager incomes have almost disappeared.
In Costa Rica and Guatemala, the urban poor are receiving food basics and hygiene supplies.
In Iraq, the three Presbyterian congregations are able to provide scholarship assistance to families whose loss of income would otherwise prevent them from sending their children to the kindergartens they run, where these families often have their first exposure to the Good News.
In Ethiopia, refugees from South Sudan (many of whom are Presbyterians) are receiving food assistance as their precarious situation deteriorated from critical to dire.
In Egypt, rural pastors are being supported and, throughout the country, many of the 400 congregations of the Presbyterian Church now have resources to distribute food boxes to the needy around them.
Iranian converts, exiled in Turkey, who made a small living as day laborers, lost their work when the stay-at-home-orders were issued there and had no “safety net” until these gifts arrived.
In the Holy Land, the Palestinian Bible Society along with Bethlehem Bible Society were empowered to reach out, in Christ’s name, to the poor in their communities.
In Kenya, the Presbyterian Church of East Africa was able to expand their broadcast range to make online worship accessible while families are forced to stay home.
In Cuba, an already strained economy was being crushed by the pandemic, and with food prices rising 200% and beyond, our Presbyterian family was enormously grateful for your life-sustaining support.
In Rwanda, our Presbyterian family is feeding the poor and providing medical care to the most vulnerable.
Refugees from Iraq and Syria, stranded in Lebanon and Jordan because of devasting wars and terrorist attacks back home, have found life-lines of hope through food assistance provided by the Christ-centered care of the Orthodox Initiative of the Middle East Council of Churches, Together for the Family and the Our Lady Dispensary.
With the effects of this pandemic not yet abating in many parts of the world, we continue to receive urgent requests from our partners and rely upon your generous gifts to meet those needs as they seek to be Light and Hope in dark and dire places!
