REACH GLOBAL
Reach Global, a missions organization of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), exists to glorify God by multiplying transformational churches among all people.
CEFC partners with the Reach Global Crisis Response team to reach communities and share God’s love in the wake of a crisis. Serve teams seek to provide physical relief to meet basic needs, including clean water, food, and clothing. After the immediate physical needs are met, Reach Global continues to work in communities, setting up sites to help with clean up and reconstruction. Teams also seek to provide trauma care and strategy to help restore hope, rebuild lives, and transform communities and individuals. If you are interested in learning more or serving on a future Crisis Response serve team, contact Shardé Hardy.

SAMARITAN'S PURSE OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Samaritan’s Purse is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Samaritan’s Purse seeks to help meet the needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine, with the purpose of sharing God’s love.
Each fall, CEFC invites members of the church and community to participate in Operation Christmas Child. From mid-October to mid-November, individuals are invited to pick-up and pack a shoebox with gifts that will bless children in need around the world. These boxes are then distributed to children in more than 100 countries where children are presented with the Good News of the Gospel. After receiving a shoebox, children are invited to enroll in a 12-lesson follow-up discipleship program called “The Greatest Journey,” which is facilitated through the local church. Families are reached, churches grow, new churches are started, and communities are transformed.
To find out how you can become involved in Operation Christmas Child, contact Russell Robinson.

TANGIER ISLAND
Tangier Island is located in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. This small 1-square-mile island is only accessible by ship or small aircraft. The island has been ravaged by multiple storms, causing flooding and wind damage. For permanent residents, it is prohibitively expensive to call for home repairs from the mainland.
Each summer, a serve team spends a week on Tangier Island working on construction projects, repairs, and visiting elderly shut-ins. While serve teams work alongside the local community on physical projects, the primary purpose is to grow closer to Christ and to build relationships among participants and natives of Tangier Island.
For more information about Tangier Island or to join a future serve team, contact Mike Marra.
