and Kidest Tillett |
Wesley and Rita Tillett Serve in Lebanon
Missionaries Come Home to Indiana
"As people sent out by the PC(USA), we are eager to complete the loop for PC(USA) members by putting a real-live face to those vague concepts of 'mission' and 'missionary.'," says Wesley Tillett. The Tillets are natives of Rensselaer, Ind. They are in the United States until August while they resolve paperwork problems so they can return to Lebanon. While they are here, they would like to connect with as many Presbyterians as they can by sharing their stories and what they've learned about the Middle East, Arabs and Muslims. Wes was on staff at Central Presbyterian in Lafayette, Ind. for several years as director of youth and family ministries and was ordained in Central's sanctuary. The Tillett family can be reached at westillett@gmail.com or call 1-219-869-7834. More... |

 Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Responds to Spring Storm Devastation
Situation
Multiple natural disasters have struck the United States over the past few months. Disasters that Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has been responding to or monitoring include flooding in North Carolina, Tennessee and the Upper Midwest; tornadoes in Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Virginia and Wisconsin; and wildfires in west Texas.
Over the April 14-16 Palm Sunday weekend, a massive storm system spawning more than 220 tornadoes rolled through ten southern states, leaving at least 45 people dead. Virginia and North Carolina have sustained the most severe damage and the most deaths resulting from the storms, with 21 people confirmed dead and countless families displaced.
Response
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has been in touch with the Presbytery of Coastal Carolina and New Hope Presbytery in North Carolina and the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia to offer One Great Hour of Sharing funds. National Response Team (NRT) members have been invited and deployed to New Hope Presbytery. Additional NRT members will be arriving this week and next to provide spiritual care and to help assess damages and needs in the Presbytery of Coastal Carolina and the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia.

 Financial Aid for Studies Announces New Theological Student Loan Forgiveness Program
"Real people" in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Served as the Program's Inspiration
The Office of Financial Aid for Studies has announced a new program designed to forgive loans made to seminary graduates who are serving in part-time or temporary pastoral positions in Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations of 150 members or less.
This program was developed by the General Assembly Mission Council to make service to hard-to-call churches more financially attractive, provide relief to pastors burdened with educational debt and to complement the Board of Pensions' Seminary Debt Assistance program, seeking especially to serve applicants who are not eligible for that program.

For a complete list of eligibility criteria or to download an application, due June 15, 2011, visit the Financial Aid for Studies website.
