  Evangelical Presbyterian Church 

World Outreach: ENGAGE

EPC World Outreach


Ministry:  

The goal of Engage is for each presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church to engage with a Muslim people group that currently has no churches and where no Jesus-followers are actively engaged in disciple-making. By sending a team of 

disciple-makers to them, the hope is to plant self-replicating Protestant Reformed churches in unreached communities by the year 2025.


The EPC Presbytery of the East (POTE), of which PCKS is a part, is working in the Northern Caucasus region of the Russian Federation.


Project resources will by used for the development of disciple-making teams  within presbyteries, research, training & coaching, and care for team members.

Creative Hands/Imbali, Athens Greece

Cecilia Sakatira

Ministry:

Based in Athens Greece, Cecilia Sakatira, founder of Creative Hands/Imbali, is embarking on a new phase of her missionary work. She has been teaching weaving and helping sell the products of her students, mostly immigrants coming to Greece and some locals, while telling them the Gospel of Christ and providing some income for them. 


During previous work in South Africa, Cecilia ministered to a young child whose name was Imbali, meaning flower or blossom in Zulu. The child had been abused, and using her name in this new journey, says Cecilia, reminds her of the many young women and girls she has met in her ministry who need to come to know their value, discover their potential, and be empowered to sustainability.

Ministry:
The initiative for the establishment of Exarcheia Church, Athens, Greece originated from the First Evangelical Church of Athens in coordination with City to City Europe, a sister organization of Redeemer City to City in New York City, NY. By bringing the power of the gospel to every part of life, City to City focuses on church planting for the renewal of global cities. The Exarcheia Church was launched in 2013 and currently is led by Alexandros Pipilios, a graduate of Westminster Seminary in Glenside, PA.  Because the Exarcheia neighborhood has always been a place of revision and questioning of tradition, the church issues the challenge to “Rethink Christianity” without the oppression of tradition and the weight of legalism that usually dictate. PCKS is delighted to partner with Exarcheia Church in establishing a gospel-centered church in this strategic global city.

Santhi Bhavan Mission,
India

Ambika Chacko
2534 Berwyn Road
Wilmington, DE 19810
(under the auspices of Brandywine Valley Church)

ambikachacko@hotmail.com

Ministry:
Santhi Bhavan Mission (House of Peace) began as Ambika Chacko’s family project in her home village of Ezhumanthuruthu, Kerala, India. Ezhumanthuruthu is a poor, remote Hindu village in southwestern India. Before this ministry, the people in the village had no opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ambika’s family began to minister on vacations with Bible distributions, personal witness, educational assistance in the community school, and by providing free medical clinics with evangelical meetings for the village through HMI, a well-known, highly respected evangelical doctor’s organization in India. The humanitarian aid opened the door to share the gospel.

Today there is a mission house in the community that is a base of Christian witness and outreach. There is a national Christian worker who has become a leader in the ministry and is able to provide on-site guidance and assistance. Educational assistance is also provided to fund the salary of a kindergarten teacher and assistant (also believers) in support of the kindergarten program. A Christmas luncheon has become an annual event, and distribution of school supplies happens during mission trip visits. Medical clinics through HMI continue and a doctor visits the village two to three times a month. In addition, an outside bathroom is under construction to support these visits.

The mission has a goal of purchasing land and building a preschool, in addition to opening a pharmacy in the community as people must travel a distance for even the simplest of medical supplies. Future mission trips are also desired to build stronger, deeper relationships within the community. Please pray that the family of God may expand through these efforts.
