Urgent Need for Volunteers
The news is full of coverage of recent disasters, but the disasters of months or years ago are still affecting people living in those communities. When the Reformed Church in America sends volunteers to a disaster site, it does so in the context of long term recovery.
It's important not to forget those struggling with a disaster that occurred a few years ago. Through the RCA's volunteer office, you can provide much-needed hope for residents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who are still rebuilding from the June 2008 flood.
Get Involved Now
The volunteer program is aware of the needs of our mission partners, our ecumenical partners, and of needs within the Reformed Church in America. These needs are as diverse as the gifts and talents of the people in our congregations:
- A community needs teams to help repair houses damaged in recent hurricanes.
- Schools in Bahrain and Japan need teachers.
- A missionary family in West Africa needs a teacher for their children.
- A camp in Kentucky needs builders and teams to help get ready in the Spring.
The RCA Mission Volunteer Program works with the RCA's partners around the world, the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee - Disaster Response Services, our Formula of Agreement Partners, the ELCA and PCUSA, and a variety of ecumenical partners ands organizations. We thank all of our partners as we seek to work together, serve together and not duplicate services.
Volunteers link congregations to other cultures and help them get to know their Christian brothers and sisters across the ocean and across the street. It is our hope that even one person's volunteer experience can bring growth and benefits to an entire congregation.
