Crossfire Ministries: Refrigerated Van

Goal: $60,000

Crossfire Ministries is a long-time partner with First Pres. Their outreach is dedicated to meeting practical needs in the community while sharing God’s love. The ministry serves thousands each year through the help of volunteers and donations, with a mission rooted in faith and compassion, demonstrating Christ’s love in tangible ways.

Crossfire doesn’t just distribute food; they also transport it. But several months ago, one of their trusted food pickup vehicles experienced a major engine failure and is no longer usable. As Executive Director Renee Beebe shared, “This has highlighted a growing need — as our food rescue efforts expand, we must ensure we can safely and efficiently transport perishable items.” This is an opportunity for us to help Crossfire Ministries strengthen their fleet of vehicles so they can continue getting fresh, safe food to those who need it most. Our goal of $60,000 will help them with this important purchase.

ETSC: Seminary Student Scholarships

Goal: $24,000

Evangelical Theological Seminary of Cairo is a historic Christian theological institution in founded in 1863 by Presbyterian missionaries, originally operating as a floating seminary on a boat along the Nile to train church leaders. Today it is the official seminary of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Egypt, preparing pastors, ministers, and leaders to serve churches and society across Egypt, the Middle East, and Arabic-speaking communities worldwide. 

Let’s equip those who are called to ordained ministry in that region! Our goal is to raise a minimum of $24,000, which would support 3 students for an entire year. Miriam Hanna, Director of Development and International Relations writes, “ETSC remains deeply grateful for its partners who empower the work of preparing pastors and leaders. At ETSC, students want more than an education; they want to know God and to make Him known.”
