    DAY OF PRAYER FOR MISSIONARIES OF OPCRC: THURSDAY, APRIL 29 Jerry & Gloria An Jerry serves as the Chinese Ministry Leader of ReFrame Ministries (formerly China Back to God Ministries International). The ministry has a well-established team in China, a presence in Hong Kong, and a small team in Grand Rap- Reframe Ministries ids. They are leaning further into their posture as pioneer, think tank, and [email protected] partner in Christian new media ministry.

Pray for renewed strength to continue to be faithful to this calling. • Pray for our expanded fundraising efforts, specifically into the Chinese speaking communities across North America. Pray for Divine provision for every project, wisdom to discern our steps, and key partnerships with those who share a passion for this work. • Thank you for your continued prayers for myself and my wife, Gloria, as she battles depression. • We have been one of the few Chinese ministries to intentionally speak into areas of conflict, because of our belief that it is possible to be Christian even while having difficult conversations.

  • Minutes of Special Meeting of COD 2021.Pdf
    MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL OF DELEGATES 2021 Tuesday, June 15, 2021 COD-SM 01 The Special Meeting of the Council of Delegates of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (COD), convening on behalf of Synod 2021, which was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, begins at 11:00 a.m. (EDT). Rev. Paul R. De Vries, COD chair, welcomes Council of Delegates members, staff, advisers, and persons watching via livestream. Rev. Mark Vande Zande, COD member from Classis Heartland and pastor of the scheduled convening church of Synod 2021 (First CRC, Orange City, Iowa), reflects on the faithfulness of God throughout his marriage and his ministry. Isaiah 25:1 says, “O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.” Throughout Scripture, we find that God keeps his promises (Deut. 7:9; Ps. 145:8-13; Gen. 3:14-15; 8:20-22; 9:12-16), he never leaves us or forsakes us (Ps. 121; 139:1-7; Matt. 28:18-20; John 14:15-19; Heb. 13:5-6), and God is faithful to the very end (Ps. 117). We can respond to that faithfulness of God by trusting in him, holding fast to him, and being faithful to him to the very end. Rev. Vande Zande leads in prayer and invites the delegates to respond by singing “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.” COD-SM 02 The chair proceeds to call the roll of the Special Meeting of the Council of Delegates.
