At PCC, we believe that every Christian is called to serve.
And One of the main ways that we can serve the Lord is to spread His gospel to the whole world.
It has been said that it is just as sacred to send the gospel where you can not go as it is to preach the gospel where you are.
Our members regularly provide emotional, prayer, and monetary support
for many missionary efforts across the globe.
|
As a congregation, we have chosen to provide special support for the following efforts, and each fifth-Sunday we take up a special collection to help meet financial needs.
We also provide regular support for:

to Brazil. Originally founded by American missionaries, Paul and Shirley Lanham (as BraziLanham),

Since Brother Paul went on to be with the Lord, and Shirley's illness, Magno &
Ana Lanham have carried on the work of the ministry in Brazil.
