We Have So Much to Tell You!
Episode 2, "Refugee Ministry" with Rev. Chris Cashen, is now available on your podcast player!
“Well, that’s really the goal. Yes, we want to serve. Yes, people need clothing; people need food. We want to seek to meet those needs. But, ultimately, in refugee ministry, the goal, from my perspective, is to establish that relationship so that over time you can share the gospel. And, so, with refugees, that [means] a longer-term relationship. The many different touches and contacts establishes that relationship and leads to the ability, I think, to tell them why you're doing what you're doing. And that leads to Christ.” —Rev. Chris Cashen on the goal of refugee ministry.
Registration is Now Open for the National Diaconal Summit IV—June 2-4, 2022!
The National Diaconal Summit is held only once every four to five years, so they prove to be a unique time for OPC deacons across the country to gather together as brothers in Christ and enjoy encouragement, instruction and fellowship. We have an incredible lineup of speakers for you this year, including some seasoned OPC ministers, elders and deacons such as Bill Shishko, Craig Troxel, and Al Tricarico, just to name a few. They will be covering a whole array of topics relevant to the ministry of mercy. We anticipate the summit filling up fast, particularly since there is no registration fee for OPC Deacons and Deacons-in-Training who register before April 1, 2022, so don't delay. Register today!
The December Issue of Ordained Servant is now Available.
Ordained Servant exists to help encourage, inform, and equip church officers for faithful, effective, and God-glorifying ministry in the visible church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Mercy Minute, a quarterly newsletter of the Committee on Diaconal Ministries, is intended to keep OPC deacons informed and encouraged in their labors. It may include opportunities for networking or training, describe the work that a local diaconate or presbytery diaconal committee is engaged in, or bring attention to a need in the OPC.
