Asia Giving Opportunities

 
 

There is a channel through which gifts can be designated for specific projects that support the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s work around the world. These are called Extra Commitment Opportunities (ECOs).

Your gift will go directly into the ECO Account designated, and you will receive a letter indicating that your gift has been received and will be used for the purpose intended.

Give to Mission Personnel in Central Asia 

The countries in this region declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The people of the region adhere predominantly to the Muslim faith with the exception of Kazakhstan, which is closely divided between Muslim and Russian Orthodox adherents. With the needs of the region centered in the development of new and stronger economic and social service infrastructure, the mission workers in this region work primarily in the areas of education, health care, community development, ministry to at-risk children and other fields. Currently nine Presbyterian mission personnel or specialists work in this region. Gifts to this account support the costs needed to send and maintain the ministry of our PC(USA) mission co-workers in Central Asia.
