Development

Central Africa Liaison

Funds will be used for operating expenses, travel and administrative expenses for the work of regional liaisons in helping implement agreed-upon programs with partner churches and institutions supporting PC(USA) congregations and presbyteries in direct mission involvement with partners. The liaisons also give practical, pastoral and culture/language transition support to other PC(USA) mission personnel serving in the region.

Mission Personnel

Andrés and Gloria Garcia serve in the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa as evangelists with the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Equatorial Guinea. In their mission letters they ask for prayers for the church’s outreach program. “We are engaged in an ambitious plan to double the number of local congregations by 2007. We need your support to reproduce teaching materials and to mobilize an evangelistic team throughout the countryside.”
