Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy
Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy supports families, law enforcement and firefighters who have witnessed or are impacted by tragic events such as suicide, car wrecks, fires and natural disasters. This is a Christian based ministry which, in a crisis situation, ministers the Gospel to hurting people and families. CPC members can become trained volunteers to help families in crisis situations. Also from time to time, CCC will ask for community volunteers to assist with outreach for critical needs that may have affected the whole community.
Presbyterian Support for Christians in Egypt
After we first arrived and announced that this was our first trip to Egypt, the youth ministry leader at the church asked, “Why did you come here?” implying that there were nicer places to see on our first visit to Cairo. Maybe so. But, after worshipping with this vibrant group of believers, sharing a message about discipleship and prayer, and taking communion alongside our Egyptian brothers and sisters in Christ, we were overcome by the experience of Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount, “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).
Light becomes most visible when it shines in the midst of darkness. The witness of putting a street light in this neighborhood of Cairo brought light that exposed and dispelled darkness. But even more significant is the church’s presence, which stands as a testimony to the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ which “gives light to everyone in the house” (v. 15). The light of Jesus was clearly shining all around and through the witness of this Christian community, not just within the church, but outside of the building as well.
We invite you to pray for God to strengthen the witness for the church in Egypt, especially our friends in the Synod of the Nile as they carry-out a strategy to shine the light of Jesus not only Cairo and Egypt, but the Arabic-speaking world. And as you pray, invite God to lead you and your church to take the risk of carrying the light of Jesus to dark places, as well.

Operation Christmas Child
Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Boxes – sponsored by Franklin Graham’s ministry, which CPC participated in last year. We prepared boxes for children at Christmas. We had a high participation level among our members during our first effort. Next year, we hope to exceed the number of boxes that Charleston Presbyterian Church prepares. Charlotte is a distribution center, and our church could send volunteers for the day to assist at the center. This is a great youth project.
