CWS emergency appeal for Haiti

Hundreds of thousands of people are feared dead and countless more homeless and/or injured after the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Already a shattered nation (with little functioning infrastructure and 80 percent of people living in poverty) this disaster is bringing horrific hardship to vulnerable lives. You can make a difference. Support the Christian World Service appeal to assist with relief and recovery in the Caribbean nation. Shelter, clean water, food, sanitation, trauma counselling and medicines are urgently needed. CWS partners in Haiti are already offering assistance despite themselves enduring the quake and dealing with the loss of their own

Children’s Assembly in Scotland

October 10-13 2009 had children gathered from around the world to celebrate ‘Coming Home’ at the Church of Scotland’s National Children Assembly. Some children from the PCANZ were invited and have written some reflections of their time there. Visit the webpage.

Help for Samoa

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the people of Samoa hit by the tsunami of 30 September. If you would like to contribute to the relief effort, the Global Mission Office will pass on donations to our partner churches or agencies. Our partner agency Christian World Service is running an appeal. Moderator the Right Rev Dr Graham Redding has sent out an email to ministers and leaders asking for prayers and support.

Moderator's Special Appeal

Let’s raise $100,000 to celebrate 100 years of mission work in the Punjab.  The money raised will help support the work of Christian Hospital and St Thomas School in Jagadhri.  Both the school and the hospital are doing amazing work.  They are also mentioned very positively in the 2009 edition of the ‘Lonely Planet’ guide book about India.  This signals that the good work has gone beyond the boundaries of the church.
