 Waldensian-RCA Partnership Brings BenefitsRCA Global Mission director Bruce Menning and representatives of the Waldensian Church in South America met recently to begin formalizing a new mission partnership. The Waldensians are especially interested in the RCA's emphasis on planting churches and revitalizing congregations. "We seek ways to revitalize and grow," says Sergio Bertinat, who is moderator of the Waldensian Church in South America. Leaders on the Horizon Volunteers Help Iowa Tornado and Flood Victims Volunteering for a day to help a community razed by recent floods and tornados showed members of youth groups from a church in Des Moines, Iowa, the importance of serving. Youth director Andy Vis wrote, "These Leaders on the Horizon youth groups were the presence of Christ to the people of New Hartford by being with them and strengthening them and encouraging them by working alongside of them. The work isn't done and the people still cry out, but we are reminded that Jesus will continue to respond in their trials and to our own trials."
