Extra Commitment Opportunities

There is a channel through which gifts can be designated for specific items that support the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s work around the world. These are called Extra Commitment Opportunities (ECOs). You can give directly to an ECO account online or by mailing your check designating the name and account number of the particular item you have chosen to:

PC(USA) Individual Remittance Processing

Development

He also facilitates training and evaluation workshops in other Central American countries. Gloria coordinates study tours and mission team visits from the United States.

Tim and Gloria have lived and worked in Honduras in various capacities for almost 30 years.
