Highlights from the April 5, 2025 meeting include:
- Opening Devotion/Prayer – Dr. Rev. Robert Gamble
- War, Trauma, and Communities of Resilience in Ukraine – Rev. Dr. Robert Gamble and his wife, Olya Balaban.
Rev. Gamble is an ordained Presbyterian minister who served in several churches in the US before undertaking mission efforts in Ukraine in 2006. His nonprofit This Child Here began to focus on support for Ukraine subsequent to the Russian 2022 invasion.
See Rev. Gamble’s website [https://www.thischildhere.org/} for information and videos of his work with mothers and children in the Ukraine and his plans to be here in the NCP at the end of April.
- Report on Mission to Honduras – Rev. Henry Britton and Pete Rogers
This present share the work of the Fairfax Presbyterian Church – Men and Mujeres on a Mission (MMM). Their presentation highlighted their recent trip to Honduras to install solar panels funded under an NCP Global Partnership 2024 grant for Camp Rancho Vida (Youth for Christ Camp) for continued improvement of the facilities to reduce the camp’s operating costs and continue to build on last year’s project to enable the camp to become more self-sufficient for its electrical power needs. This is the latest initiative of this 20-year partnership! https://www.fairfaxpresbyterian.org/mission/mmm
