Things to pray for this week …..
We pray for families and communities facing regional flooding
and forest fires this season. We give thanks for emergency
responders and front line workers addressing environmental
crises and supporting impacted families and communities.
We pray that our interfaith connections will foster peace, and
that we will learn to see God’s presence in our neighbours.
We pray that we might offer all we have and all we are in
joyful service as stewards of God’s grace..
Mission Moment
PCC mission staff, the Rev. Lora Nafziger plays a vital role supporting expatriate United Mission to Nepal (UMN) staff and their families. The UMN is a faith-based international NGO with over 500 staff. Most are Nepali. Approximately 44 are expatriate staff who work as medical professionals and advisory staff for projects. Expatriate staff currently come from 8 different countries and about 11 denominational groups. Lora helps these mission staff and their families transition to life in Nepal and then offers them ongoing spiritual care and support. Lora brings to her work as Staff Care and Counselling Adviser her background as a clinical social worker and pastor, as well as her own rich ecumenical experience. Your gifts to Presbyterians Sharing make this important work possible.
