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).

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.

Mission Personnel
The Rev. Debra and Delvin Braaksma — Program and Project Management Officers
Since 2005 Debra and Delvin Braaksma have been working with victims of the Sudanese civil war through the Resource Centre for Civil Leadership (RECONCILE), related to the New Sudan Council of Churches. From their base in Kampala, Uganda, they train church and community leaders in trauma healing. One participant concluded, “Some say we must remove the so-and-sos for all they have done to us. But we cannot do that. The Bible says we cannot do that. It’s like removing our eye. We need them.” Debra writes, " . . . your support and prayers made it possible for RECONCILE to be in Anyidi with these dear people.” |
