Missions Supported
by PRPC
The Session of the church is charged with creating an awareness
of Mission needs and programs both local and worldwide. Budgeted
mission funds are allocated for that purpose. Our church designates
a part of its budget each year to the General Assembly, General
Mission Fund, which is the major source of Presbyterian support
for numerous missions around the world.
Worldwide missions supported by our church:
- Csaba
and Lisa Leidenfrost, a young couple from our own church family
have served for years in Africa under the auspices of Wycliffe Bible
Translators, Inc.
- A former member of our staff, Marthame
Sanders, who along with his wife
Elizabeth, served in Zababdeh
Palestine on a three-year ministry through
the support of the First Presbyterian
Church of Wilmette.
- Designated mission projects of the Presbyterian
Church U.S.A. around the world
Senior High Mission Trip
Each year, the youth of our church reach out through the Care-A-Van
mission trip. Here both our youth and adults work together to spread
the Good News of Jesus Christ to needy families, here in the US
and in Mexico. They have worked with organizations such as Habitat
for Humanity, Christian Outreach Rehab, World Servants, and Appalachian
Service Project. Most recently, the Care-A-Van traveled to the Appalachian
region of West Virginia. Whether building needed shelter or repair
work, leading a daily Bible School for local children, or visiting
an orphanage; during a challenging but rewarding week, they perform
needed work for families, enjoy social interaction with the community,
and experience life-changing relationships.
