Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is in consultation with our partners in the region to make aid available to those most in need.
When Jesus walked these very lands, by his words and his ministries he told all who would listen to care for: the children, the old, the poor, the sick, the most vulnerable. … In this moment of crisis, while leaders strive to find a path to lasting peace, our priority must be caring for those left vulnerable by the violence.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
GIVE to help the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and our partners meet the physical needs of those in all the areas where violence leaves them vulnerable, and the emotional and spiritual needs of the many more who have been traumatized by that violence. Mail your church’s gift to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Church Remittance Processing, P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700, or give through your congregation’s normal giving channels. Write “DR000081-E1” on the check or remittance form so that we can ensure your gift is designated to meet these urgent needs. You can also give online at www.pcusa.org/pda/
PRAY for all those whose lives have been and continue to be affected.
STAY INFORMED with regular updates on the situation, how your church is responding, and to find available worship resources at www.pcusa.org/pda or by calling PresbyTel at 1-800-872-3283.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance issues call from Middle East situation
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has issued the following report and appeal today (January 9):
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
For surely I know the plans I have for you…to give you a future with hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
All people impacted by the current violence in the Middle East are facing overwhelming humanitarian needs as a result of the continuing violence. The most basic needs — safe shelter, medical care, food, water, electricity — are well beyond the reach of many of those caught in the crossfire.
