California Wildfire Update:
When the wildfire known as the "Camp Fire" devastated parts of northern California in the autumn of 2018, the OPC determined to focus its giving on Ridge PCA.
Here are excerpts from a year-end thank-you note that Ridge PCA Pastor Josh Lee wrote to everyone who helped them in their time of crisis:
“We have been blessed by hundreds of families and churches seeking to care for us. We’ve received checks, gift cards, housing, letters, handmade quilts, etc…every single gift bringing us to our knees in gratitude.
“There are still very hard days around here.
Days with tears and frustrations and feelings of despair. But hope is rising. I can see it. And I can especially see it when we are able to support a family by means of the gifts you have given.
"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Years from now, you may not remember that you made a donation to a small church in Paradise, CA. But believe me, we will remember. We will never forget."
