Good News on ORPAC

Salem (West) Oasis, a new church that started services a year ago under the leadership of Pastor Keith Ritter, reports that the church is now financially self-supporting- - 3 months ahead of schedule.  We thank Salem First Church for their "giving birth" to such a healthy new church and for giving them such a generous start.  Oasis has faithfully tithed their income to the church planting fund of the district as well as to give another 10% of its income to ministry pertners in their neighborhoods.

Hillsboro Hispanic ministry reports that they averaged 97 per week in attendance in January.  They also raised $1,629.  We praise the Lord with Pastors Kevin Donley and Ana Zani. 

Haiti/ORPAC Update

Many of our churches have opened their hearts to the needs in Haiti in the aftermath of the devestating earthquake.  Prayer services have been held, special offerings have been received and volunteer opportunities have been sought out.  In special offerings for earthquake relief, ORPAC Nazarenes have given well over $50,000 for use by Nazarene Compassionate Ministries to meet needs.  If your church has taken a special offering or has a story to tell of how you are meeting needs in Haiti, please email the details to orpacoffice@orpac.org.  We know that there has been much generosity shown that we have not yet heard about.
