Dear Friends in Christ,

 

Deeply troubled by recent events in Cameroon, I would invite all Presbyterians to join me in praying for justice, peace, and security for the people of Cameroon.

I know that there are many in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who are painfully aware of the ongoing legacies of colonial rule in Cameroon, a modern nation created with regionally distinct French- and English-speaking communities. We have watched with alarm as initially peaceful protests by lawyers and teachers concerning the erosion of the Anglophone identity in the judicial and educational sectors were met with force. In the absence of dialogue, positions hardened and violence has intensified over the past three years with a call to create an independent nation and the formation of militias. [more] 

Youth Mission Co is where mission, creativity, and transformation are happening with young people.

We understand mission as God's call in the lives of all people to seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly in faith.

We see creativity as a tool of understanding and growth because it gets us outside of ourselves and in connection with the Spirit.

We know transformation to be a lasting change- in a person, a group, a community, a world.  It's what God provides when we are open to new possibilities.

 

"We give thanks to God for Scott's immense love for children, camping ministry, his family, and God.  We are grateful for Scott's willingness to sojourn as a faithful Methodist "missionary" from the upper Midwest to serve as the Interim Director of Camp Pee Dee during 2019.  Scott has excelled at visiting congregations and sharing his love for camping ministry."

 

The covenant between Scott and NHP concludes on December 31, 2019.  Scott will return home to his beloved wife, Dyla, in late December, and our prayers and gratitude will go with him.  Godspeed and thank you!  

Good evening.  We are so grateful and appreciative of everything.  The needs here are overwhelming.  Literally, thousands of lives were devastated and continue to be in the wake of this storm.  

 

We are doing our best to help.  We are working in three areas:  1. Relief- as locals in the community we have been helping NGO's like Samaritan's Purse to locate and distribute aid to families who have remained or returned.  2.  Relocation- we have been helping families with the stresses, questions and financial needs of relocation.  For instance, we just bought two beds for a family that has been sleeping on air mattresses for 8 weeks, school supplies for children and etc.  3.  Restoration- we have helped families tarp their homes, recover personal items from destroyed houses.  We are preparing for future, specifically, skilled construction teams to come in mid to late spring, collecting construction materials and tools- preparing spaces for them to stay.  Most of these homes are not roof repairs they are total rebuilds, or in need of mold remediation.  

 

Please pay along our deep gratitude to those in the New Harmony Presbytery.  Their love and prayers have been deeply felt.  Please use the link below my signature to keep updated on facebook.  It's really the easiest way to update everyone.  Electricity has yet to be restored to Marsh Harbour and communication is limited.  

 

Thanks so much,
