Mark & Marcie Harris
We are serving in Stellenbosch, South Africa, with East Mountain.
At East Mountain, we believe in developing leaders holistically. In addition to seeing them grow in Bible knowledge and practical leadership skills, we desire to help them grow in intimacy with Christ and to become more like Him. This is the work of formation, and this is our focus at East Mountain. We work with East Mountain staff, interns and partners, developing and leading retreats, teaching the principles and disciplines of Christian formation, and mentoring. We help others to become who God has made them to be so that they can effectively do the work to which He is calling them.
The Brookville Area Food Pantry serves food scarce residents in the Brookville Area School District since the early 1980s. The food pantry began under the direction of the Brookville Ministerial Association and was first housed in the parish hall of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. In 1996, it expanded to the 8 Sylvania Road.
The food pantry is part of the Second Harvest Food Bank of NWPA, particularly The Emergency Food Assistance Program.
The Gideons International is the result of a meeting between two men who wished to band commercial travelers together for evangelism. What began in 1908 as an Association of Christian businessmen placing Bibles in hotel rooms has evolved into an expanding mission to provide Scriptures to all people in nearly every facet of life. Today, we have taken more than 2 billion Scriptures in more than 95 languages to 200 countries, territories, and possessions across the globe. We exist as an advocate for the lost, to bring them the saving knowledge of the Word through not only placing and distributing Scriptures, but also through personal witnessing and by associating together for service. As a united force for the Gospel, we remain rooted in tradition, but we operate under the firm belief that anyone can be a valuable asset to this invaluable cause. We provide many opportunities to partner with us through either prayer or financial support. Join us, and let's spread the Good News.
Bill Schiafone is our contact person and also a member of Roseville Independent Chapel.
John and Jane Chitester
Janie & I have been serving with Harvest Alliance International since 2005. We made our first overseas trip to Tanzania in 2006. We primarily operate in East Africa, focusing on Rwanda and Uganda, though we've done teaching in Burundi, DR Congo, and Liberia. Our goal is to work with pastors and church leaders in the area of discipleship training. Making disciples of new believers to conserve the fruit of evangelism, helping them to become believers who are rooted in the Word and obedient to the Great Commission, "to make disciples of all the nations". We not only are teaching them how to faithfully follow Christ but equip them to do the same process. We work together with John & Gladys Mihigo, who are native Rwandese, they also are members of Harvest Alliance; Janie & I are planning a trip to teach in Uganda and Rwanda, from 13 February thru S March of this year. We also plan on taking a team from our home church in Savannah, GA to Rwanda in August. In addition to working in East Africa, we also do teaching in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. We are grateful for your partnership with us and are privileged to serve as an extension of your local church ministry.
