Grace Brethren churches in the Northwest District recently organized a drive to send supplies to Grace Brethren work in the Central African Republic. Jim and Debbie Momeyer participated in the dedication of the supplies, and reported the following:
“It is obvious that there is a deep love for Africa here.
“One example of this is the container that you see in the photo. The Northwest District Grace Brethren Churches spearheaded by Sunnyside Grace Brethren Church organized, filled, funded, and shipped this container for the ministry needs in Central African Republic.
“This has been a huge task and a great token of love to our African brothers and sisters. We were privileged to be at the dedication ceremony along with Eddie and Linda Mensinger.”
Sunnyside pastor of senior adult ministries Chuck Winter says, “This photo [was] taken at the dedication of the 20-foot container SGBC and other NW District churches shipped to Africa–specifically to the Bible School and Seminary in the CAR.
“It left Roanoke yesterday and contains everything from printer paper to a printer, 20 bicycles, 300 pairs of shoes, clothing plus lots more and a 12-KW electric generator.”
