PARKSIDE MISSION PROJECT-ACTION PACKS-VOICE OF THE MARTYRS
Voice of the Martyrs is an organization for persecuted Christians worldwide, providing for
churches, pastors and evangelists and their families in a number of ways. One of those ways is
through “Action Packs” which are sent to believers in areas where the Christians have lost about
everything. Parkside’s Missions Committee has purchased 10 Action Packs for us to fill as a
church family. Items needed are blankets, hats, towels, sheets, jackets, sweaters, socks, t-shirts
and much more. Please stop by the table in the Fellowship Hall manned by Katie Poynter and
Kelly DeFrell and pick up a card with the name of an item needed to fill a pack. Much more
information will be available on the table. Our goal is to have everything collected by
January 4. Please help out our persecuted brothers & sisters in Christ in Iraq, Pakistan or Sudan.
