AUGUST Giving Opportunity: PCA’s Compassion Fund - Global Disaster Response: As part of our calling and ongoing commitment to mercy ministry offered in Jesus’ name (Matt. 25: 35-40), the deacons are asking the congregation to prayerfully consider giving to our denomination’s Compassion Fund - Global Disaster Response during our August fund drive. This fast-to-field reserve enables our missionaries and national partners to quickly respond to urgent situations in their communities, meeting physical needs, sharing the love of Christ, and establishing a foothold for gospel ministry. You can learn more about and participate in this mercy ministry HERE, or by a submitting a check made out to Forestgate, designated “Compassion 40043”, anytime during the month of August. Afterwards, the deacons will add $500 to the designated monies collected, using the Benevolence Fund, and send the total to the PCA’s MTW - Compassion/Disaster Relief Fund.
