Special STORM Report:
Got Summer Plans?

It's hard to believe it's the beginning of February already! Seems like we just rang in the new year, doesn't it? It's fun to start thinking about warmer weather and how to spend the summer days. What will it look like for you? Vacation? Home repair or maybe even a renovation? Visiting family? A trip to the beach? Not sure?

Have you ever considered spending part of the summer, a few weeks maybe, serving the Lord on a short-term missions' trip? This year, with COVID restrictions finally behind us, the opportunities to serve and encourage an OPC mission are coming alive for 2023. We now have twelve different opportunities in seven locations, with more likely coming, such as Puerto Rico, now in the early planning stages.

Remember, short-term missions is not just for the young! It's for the young at heart, the traveler, the servant and for someone who is willing to share their time and talent with missionaries and the communities they serve. Please prayerfully consider where you can serve.

Current opportunities:

• Boardwalk Chapel, Wildwood, NJ: junior staff, full-time staff (music team, drama team, evangelism team, domestics team, and team leaders)
• Czech Republic: friendship evangelism, VBS, English lessons
• Japan: VBS, evangelism, carpentry
• Mexico: Cross-Cultural Missions Training
• Uganda: Child care, hospitality & facilities maintenance
• Uruguay: Outreach, worship music and evangelism

Crates for Ukraine Update

We are amazed at the response to this effort! God is working in amazing ways through many of you who have lovingly volunteered to lead the "Crates" effort in your church! As you can see, we are halfway to our goal with just a month left to register. If you haven't joined the effort yet, there is still time—and we still need just under 200 crates to meet our goal. Don't hesitate to email us with questions or visit our FAQ page.
