CHURCH  NEWS

From the Contact Committee: Synod 2009 has authorized the CC to assist the Berean PRC of the Philippines and Covenant PRC of Northern Ireland in the financial support of Mr. Vernon Ibe and Mr. Martyn McGeown during their time of study at our seminary.  Funding for this support comes from collections taken in our churches for the Foreign Student Assistance Fund.  Based on collections received so far this year, a $10,000 shortfall is anticipated.  We ask for your prayerful consideration and support of this worthy cause.
