2007 Mission Challenge

Ted and Sue Wright.jpg During October, 2007, over 140 presbyteries will be visited by a mission co-worker for one week.  These missionaries will be inviting every PC(USA) congregation to be in relationship with at least one PC(USA) co-worker. The goal is to increase our understanding of the needs of the mission field and to enhance the sense of support for our mission workers. 

Presbytery of Scioto Valley will host Rev. Ted Wright from October 19 to 26. Until his appointment as a mission co-worker, Ted was the pastor and head of staff of the Langhorne Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia for 22 years. During that church’s partnership with a congregation in Zimbabwe, Ted and his wife, Sue, felt God’s call to serve full-time in Africa.  Since July, 2005, they have served as regional liaisons for east and central Africa with special attention to Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Angola. 

The PSV Global Missions Committee has scheduled Ted to speak at the following area gatherings:

First Presbyterian Church, Delaware — Saturday, Oct. 20 at 5:30 pm Potluck dinner (table service and beverages will be furnished); 6:15 pm Program 

First Presbyterian Church, Mt. Vernon — Sunday, Oct. 21 at 6 :30 pm Program
