SHORT-TERM MISSIONS &
DISASTER RESPONSE

Jae Edwards received the keys to her new home at a ceremony held in her home on October 20th in Morganton, NC, marking a joyful milestone after the devastation caused by last year’s Hurricane Helene. Over the past year, more than seventy volunteers from nineteen churches served to help make her new home a reality.

Among those present at the key ceremony were Jae’s pastor, Kevin Crawford of Praise Assembly; Art Allen, a deacon from Shiloh OPC in Raleigh, NC, who helped build the steps and finishing the interior; Pastor Johnny Serafini of Landis OPC; and Mike Cloy, an elder at Landis and the coordinator of the Chalmers Homes effort.

Mike presented Jae with a plaque inscribed with words from Psalm 23. With deep gratitude, Jae expressed thanks to Jesus Christ for His care for her and her daughter, sharing that she had been in a difficult place and is now overwhelmed by the blessings and support from the OPC community.
