Forman Christian College (FCC) has pioneered many “firsts” in Pakistani education such as first to admit women, first Biology and first Chemistry courses. FCC enrolls about 7000 students, and provides over $1,000,000 of financial aid. About 20% of students are from the Christian minority and about 35% are women, supporting a unique interfaith coeducational experience. In addition to education, FCC engages service projects in the region encouraging students to act on the FCC motto: “By Love Serve One Another.”

Friends of Forman Christian College is an independent U.S. based 501(c)(3) founded in 2003. Their single mission is to provide support to Forman Christian College (FCC) in Lahore, Pakistan.

#MissionMonday – Myanmar

Posted on by

Prayers for Myanmar

Since the coup on February 1, Nassau has been joining in prayer for the people of Myanmar. We pray for their safety and liberation. One of our long-time mission partners Cetana, like most NGOs and INGOs in Myanmar, have suspended operations for now. There are a few smaller organizations still able to operate and the need is great. Marisa Charles spoke with Nassau’s Mission & Outreach Commitee in April. She shared the documents below as an overview of the current situation and examples of how we can continue to support our siblings in Myanmar.

Marisa Charles is an international development specialist raised at Nassau Church with over 10 years experience with NGOs in Myanmar.

#MissionMonday – Loveland Foundation

Supporting Healing for Black Women & Girls

In memory of the 500,000 lives lost and in honor of each family and community grieving, Mission & Outreach approved a grant of $4,059 (15% of our discretionary funds for the year) to The Loveland Foundation. We know Covid disproportionately impacts communities of color, and that women often carry the heaviest burden. This gift would help support the healing of Black women and girls through therapy. Through supporting their healing, we support the healing in their families, communities, and our world.

The Loveland Foundation: The Therapy Fund for Black Women and Girls was founded in 2018 by Rachel Elizabeth Cargle. Cargle is a public academic, author, and activist. The Loveland Foundation provides access to therapy for Black women and girls across the country.

#MissionMonday – Special Offerings of the PC(USA)

Posted on by

It’s Amazing What Happens When We Join Together

Throughout the year there are several special offerings Nassau contributes to in the PC(USA). During the pandemic, the Mission & Outreach Committee has committed to continuing the average gift for these offerings even as we haven’t “passed the plate” on Sunday mornings. For example, Nassau continued to give to the Christmas Joy Offering this winter to support current and retired church workers in their time of need and leadership development at Presbyterian-related colleges equipping communities of color.

Christmas Joy (website)

Presbyterians are part of a remarkable tradition. The PC(USA)’s four church-wide Special Offerings help share Christ’s love with millions of people around the world. God has blessed the Church with incredible leadership in every time and place, but those leaders often need to be supported by their communities as well. The Christmas Joy Offering addresses the support needed by some of our leaders, including supporting leadership development for communities of color, and providing support for Presbyterian church workers in their time of need.

By giving to the Christmas Joy Offering, you honor God’s gift of Jesus Christ by providing assistance to current and retired church workers in their time of need and developing our future leaders at Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color.

#MissionMonday – SSVP-Lebanon

Posted on by

To Serve in Hope

In late January, the Mission & Outreach Committee approved a grant to support the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul–Lebanon in their COVID relief efforts. They quickly used the funds to purchase 8 oxygen concentrators. The need in Lebanon is great. Our support will not address all the suffering, but it has helped a number of elderly community members survive the pandemic. Please join the Mission & Outreach Committee in praying for the people of Lebanon.

 

St. Vincent dePaul (website)

Founded in 1833 by a group of young laymen, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization of women and men, who wished to put their faith into action. From the start, the Society has been under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul, a great saint, well-known for his works of charity.

The members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul maintain the Vincentian spirit. Their vocation rests on two basic principles: continuing prayers (deepening their faith) and the meeting with Christ through the poor. These principles lead them to serve the very poorest with a deep respect, no matter where they come from, or what they believe, thus developing long-term and personal relationships.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul-Lebanon was founded 1860 with the main objective to provide assistance to the poorer and supply them with their most urgent needs.
