WORLDCARE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2021
What is WorldCare? About 4 times per year, a month will feature 5 Sundays (vs. the usual 4 Sundays). These "5th Sundays" are special at Prestoncrest! A special dropbox is available in the foyer for donations that go directly to missions. Every dollar goes toward special mission efforts with a specific need. Each need has been identified and researched by our Elders. Many missionaries and mission works are blessed with your generous donations each time Prestoncrest features a WorldCare 5th Sunday. How can you give?
- Place your contribution (cash or check*) in the WorldCare dropbox in the foyer. (Note: If writing a check, please ONLY write “WORLD CARE” in the memo [as opposed to naming an individual work], giving our Elders flexibility to distribute funds as needed.)
Oct 31st Good Works:
HOPE FOR HAITI'S CHILDREN was established in 1995 and works to demonstrate compassion to Haitian children and families living in poverty, providing opportunities for children to become leaders in their communities. HFHC operates 2 orphanages and 10 Christian Schools in the Port-Au-Prince area, and has an enrollment of 2500 children. Support comes primarily from churches of Christ. Many of their students have gone on to become teachers, nurses, preachers, and law enforcement. www.hopeforhaitischildren.org
WORLD CHRISTIAN BROADCASTING exists so that those best served by broadcast media become aware of the Good News of Jesus Christ. WCB's international shortwave broadcasting communicates to millions every day. KNLS, located at the top of the world in Anchor Point, Alaska, has been on the air since 1983. A additional station is operating in the region of the Indian Ocean and reaches China, Russia, Africa, and the Middle East. www.worldchristian.org
WORLD ENGLISH INSTITUTE has a mission is to teach English to people, free of charge, to help them communicate effectively and to gain upward mobility in a world market using the English language. Their bigger mission is to lead people to higher ground spiritually by using Bible stories to illustrate the English grammar they teach. It is a blessing in that it opens doors to offer classes in countries where the Bible has been outlawed. www.worldenglishinstitute.net
WORLD BIBLE SCHOOL is one of the most proven, cost-effective means of equipping Christians to fulfill the Great Commission. It has taught millions by mobilizing tens of thousands of volunteer Christians. Churches can use WBS programs to equip their members and involve them in evangelism. WBS can even help congregations connect with seekers in their community… or anywhere on earth! www.worldbibleschool.org
