Park Lake’s annual Mission Fair will be February 18-24. The theme is “Preach the Gospel to Everyone”.
Mark your calendar! Schedule: Mission Fair 2019!
The Annual Park Lake Mission Fair gives us the opportunity to reach out and touch the lives in our community through our local projects which includes: United Against Poverty (UP), Grace Medical Home, The Zebra Coalition and the Blessing Bags, which our children and youth make to hand out to those in need. We also assist our Park Lake missionaries as they reach out to help others in need where they serve.
We support our missionaries through the work of Dan and Elizabeth Turk in Madagascar where they serve with the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar ( F.J.K.M.) which has 5 million members. One important area for Elizabeth is testing Malagasy people for HIV/AIDS so that they can get treatment (free from the government) if they are found to be positive. Dan and his Malagasy team work with the fruit tree project which is one of the recipients of the 2 Cents-a-meal program overseen by Central FL presbytery/PATH committee.
In Tete province, Mozambique, Sebber Banda is now heading up the Holistic Ministry, and Rev. Carlos Faquione is assisting her. Sebber gives public health seminars and trains village birth attendants (mid-wives) providing them with kits to use as they deliver babies in rural areas. An additional need is the construction of village churches. The Presbyterian Church in Tete Province is growing rapidly. There are currently 5 churches where the members have molded and burned bricks, gathered stones and rocks at their sites and are now waiting for the funds to buy cement, wood for trusses and tin for roofs. We will be helping one of these congregations move forward with their church construction.
We hope you can come to some or all of the events. The purpose of the Mission Fair is to communicate, connect, commit and contribute to mission activities and is the most significant local and international mission outreach activity of Park Lake each year.
