Session Approves New Mission Project: Friends of IMCK

Session Approves New Mission Project: Friends of IMCK Lenten Luncheon The Friends of IMCK is an association whose members include anyone with a heart for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the work being done by the Christian Medical Institute of Kasai. We are churches, organizations, missionaries, children or grandchildren of missionaries, doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, individuals who have visited IMCK, and anyone who supports the work being done in the challenging environment of the Kasai region of this country. The specific mission of the Friends of IMCK is to raise awareness of the Institute, establish and grow a permanent endowment fund, and promote fundraising for current needs at IMCK. We welcome all who are interested and encourage you to join our mailing list for our newsletter and other updates. The organization is asking for one person from each PC(USA) congregation to donate $300.00 a year toward medical equipment and supplies for this hospital. It also trains doctors and nurses. The organization was started by Presbyterian Missionaries in the Congo in the early 1900’s. The project supports medical care for all ages from preventive medicine to hospital care. More information may be found on the bulletin board by the Church Kitchen.
