Sunday with Cindy: Haiti Update
Shortly after the assassination of the president and resulting political chaos, Haiti experienced a 7.2 earthquake, aftershocks, and then Tropical Storm Grace which hit the same area. Thousands of Haitians have fled to the Mexico/US border, many have been deported, and the suffering has no end in sight. On October 17, Cindy Corell and her mission partner in Haiti, Fabienne Jean, visited us virtually, to share info about the continuing crisis in Haiti and how Presbyterian partners are seeking to respond.
International Peacemaker to Visit Virtually
POJ’s World Mission Ministry hosts a virtual visit by Frances Namoumou, a Presbyterian Peacemaker from Fiji, on October 24 and 25 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. Speaking on the topic "Peacemaking in Fiji: Climate Justice and Disaster Management,” Frances will share her insights and experiences with our current global climate crisis. Participants will have a chance to ask questions following her presentation. This event is made possible by the PC(USA), and is sponsored locally by POJ churches Bon Air, Gayton Kirk, First Richmond, Salisbury, and Second Richmond.
