- Several General Assemblies have called for an increased number of mission personnel. Many needs identified by mission partners have not been met because of limited funds. This project will meet these needs by expanding the capacity of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to respond to requests for missionaries to serve with partners overseas. Designate your gift to E132192. (Pictured is Mission Co-worker Tracey King, a member of St. Peter's by the Sea church in our own Presbytery. Now in her third term as a mission co-worker, she was assigned in October 2005 to Nicaragua. She travels frequently to the five Central American countries in which the PC(USA) has denominational partners: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua; one of her specialties is facilitating reconciliation and peacemaking discussions.)
