MNA/PCA Chaplains

Written by chrismccrea on . Posted in Chaplain Ministries, MNA Online: September 2021.

YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR CHAPLAINS FINANCIALLY WITHOUT COSTING YOUR CHURCH A PENNY! 

Would you ask your church to put this in your worship bulletin or newsletter? We need your help getting the word out to all of your military and federal employee friends and family members regarding the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). MNA/PRCC Chaplain Ministries is an approved charity (CFC #38370) for federal employees to donate their payroll deduction gifts to our PRCC Chaplains. We need churches to let their federal employee members and friends know about this opportunity to help support our Chaplains. 

Sample bulletin inserts and an info letter are on our website. The Campaign runs from September 1 – December 15th, 2021.

Refugee and Immigrant Ministry

Many of you have inquired how you might be able to help some of the several thousand Afghan refugees who are arriving in the US, many of whom risked their own lives and those of their families to help US troops and contractors in Afghanistan over the past years. At this link you can download an timely guide to a variety of ways that you can help, collated by the Christian organization We Welcome Refugees.

World Relief, the evangelical refugee resettlement agency, provides this link to helping through their offices, with needs – particularly for short-term or long-term housing – especially acute in the Sacramento and Modesto, California areas. If there is no World Relief resettlement office in your area, other options are available here and here.

Please be patient and use the online form or email rather than calling, so that staff can respond to you when they find a rare quiet moment. If you are offering HOUSING, however, please call and leave a detailed message.
