SHORT-TERM MISSIONS &
DISASTER RESPONSE

OPC Disaster Response is continuing to monitor the needs from Hurricanes Milton (Florida) and Helene (North Carolina).

Hurricane Milton: Praise the Lord that Pastor Dan Halley (Bay Haven OPC, Tampa, FL) and his family have located a six-month rental while they prayerfully consider their permanent housing options after six inches of water filled their one-story home, rendering it unlivable, as a result of Hurricane Milton. Please pray for wisdom for the Halleys in the days and months to come. OPC Disaster Response Coordinator, David Nakhla and CDM member, John Voss plan to make a visit to Tampa in early December to meet with the Halleys.

Hurricane Helene: Landis OPC in Marion, NC has been working alongside organizations to help the recovery effort in western North Carolina as a result of Hurricane Helene. As you may recall, the Lord spared the OPC from direct impact from this storm, but many in the region continue to suffer. With a great desire to aid their neighbors and pair Word and deed, the officers of Landis are prayerfully considering how their church, presbytery, and denomination (OPC Disaster Response) can continue to help those affected in this area. As the effort progresses, OPC Disaster Response will convey any volunteer needs that may be required. Thank you for your prayers, and donations toward the 2024 Hurricanes and Helene Funds.
