As reported in recent issues of the S.T.O.R.M. Report, the Committee on Diaconal Ministries (CDM) has been researching opportunities to contribute to refugee relief using funds designated by OPC members for that purpose. The CDM has now made an initial gift of $6,000 to the Greek Evangelical Church which ministers to the needs of refugees fleeing from the Middle East as they pass through Greece on their way to Germany. |
The CDM Contributes to Refugee ReliefTwice a week, the church makes more than 1,000 sandwiches and distributes them to some of the more than 10,000 people delayed at the northern border of Greece. They also knit caps and scarves for distribution to many of the women and children who have been ill-equipped for the near freezing temperatures. Pray for this church as it strives to bear witness to the compassion of Christ. Pray for the CDM as it explores other such avenues of ministry to refugees. |
Update from the Boardwalk ChapelFrom the Boardwalk Chapel's Newsletter: "Our Director confirmed all volunteer staff for the main part of the summer and the Dunn House is scheduled to have its largest known group to date — a total of 27 people .... Pray that the Lord would prepare each person spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially for the work to be done this summer so that all arrive ready to serve each other and minister to the lost with grace and love."

"There is still an opening for a young man skilled in playing guitar/drums to assist on the Music Team. We welcome anyone who wishes to work toward the end of the summer (August and September) for a week or more to apply as well." |
