Blessed be His glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with His glory! Amen and amen! —Psalm 72:18-19
Considering Domestic
Short-Term Missions
Nearly two years after the first wave of COVID hit, OPC Short-Term missions continues to cautiously plan around COVID travel restrictions. Although we still have a few international opportunities open at this point, this could be a great time to consider some "outside-of-the-box" domestic opportunities, like "Churches Helping Churches", where one church can lend a hand to another.
Opportunities and Updates
Churches Helping Churches
Redeemer OPC, in the Grand Rapids area, is looking for a service project for a team from their church to carry out for or with your congregation.
Czech Republic —
Team Praha Three Weeks Summer 2022
We’re looking for mature young people (aged 16 to early 30s) willing to serve, eager to teach Vacation Bible School, and able to share their faith with Czech teens and young adults.
The Uganda Mission
As of now, there are several opportunities open to serve with the Uganda Mission. Keep in mind, COVID travel restrictions may apply.
The Boardwalk Chapel
The Boardwalk Chapel still has a few openings for this summer:
- Guys and girls (16 & 17 years old) in each iteration for Junior Staff
- One church group for the apologetics training week
- Domestic staff
OPC Disaster Response has been quiet recently, praise the Lord! Even though there are no active disasters for volunteers of OPC Disaster Response, we continue to work behind the scenes on building our registry and dispersing funds to those in need. Two opportunities in particular have developed.
- The first came to us by way of generous donations toward the recent Kentucky tornadoes.
- The second came after devastating fires destroyed homes in a development in the greater Denver area on December 30, including the home of an OPC family.
COVID-19 Pandemic Response Fund
To date, $115,694.00 has been received, and the CDM continues to keep this fund open for donations in the event of other dire requests. The CDM has disbursed $82,695. of that to brothers and sisters around the world. Thank you for your contributions and prayers!
Meet the CDM's New Intern, Hannah White!
Hannah White is from Norman, Oklahoma. She is currently a student at Oklahoma Baptist University where she played soccer for five seasons. Her major is “Global Marketplace Engagement” which she hopes to use in working for a ministry or on the mission field when she graduates in the spring. Hannah attends Shawnee Presbyterian in Shawnee, OK. Hannah will be helping with administrative and communications work in the CDM office from January through April, 2022, so you may be hearing from her in the near future. Welcome, Hannah!
