TCT Tear-Off Sept 2010.pdf

Treasuring Christ Together

TCT is our ongoing strategy to fulfill our mission through a multiplying movement of campuses, new churches, and a Global Diaconate, united by a common mission and founded on a common biblical life and doctrine.

Global Diaconate Update, September 2010

Pakistan
We have come alongside Pakistanis with a gift to Partner Aid International (PAI) to provide emergency assistance to flood-affected villages in Balochistan Province. With a large team already in place in Pakistan close to some of the areas hardest hit, PAI has been in a strong position to quickly assess the needs caused by the recent mega-flood and to begin to respond. PAI has distributed food, clean drinking water, mosquito nets, and other items to almost 1,000 households. Several of Bethlehem’s Global Partners have worked or are working with PAI.

India
Funds were allocated to help with the expansion of Freedom Firm’s project in Pune, India. Freedom Firm is dedicated to the liberation of children enslaved in commercial sexual exploitation and their effective rehabilitation, and also to justice for those who have profited from the sex trade.

Haiti
Pray for the New Jerusalem Church in Port-au-Prince, pastored by Yvon Delissaint, as we help this church care for 20 orphans through World Orphans. Pray also for a small group from Bethlehem that is heading to Haiti in September to start a relationship with this church and to look for strategic ways that we can be a blessing in this devastated country.

Pray for the surpassing value of Christ to be treasured by more people through the Treasuring Christ Together vision.

Give a monthly gift designated to “TCT” in addition to your regular financial support of Church & Missions.

Go to one of our newer campuses, or with a church planting team, or on a mercy mission with the Global Diaconate.
