This disaster relief team includes Dr. Jim Froelich, Bob Bradbury, Barbara Chandler and Diana Farmer of Chestnut Mountain PCA in Chestnut Mountain, Ga., and Cyndi Urbanowicz, MTW s Assistant Medical Director. 2001 Mission to the World s Minutemen are being summoned to respond to another major crisis. The appeal this time is for the earthquake victims in the state of Gujarat, India where thousands are dead and hundreds of thousands are homeless. The ominous threat of disease, such as typhoid and cholera, also threatens the affected area. One of the greatest demands in world missions today is for more teachers to assist missionary families.
Teachers are in high demand and short supply in ministries around the globe.
Missionaries with Mission to the World are no exception, with urgent needs for teachers in almost every area of the world. 2001 Mission to the World has announced the organization of a new ministry to international street children called StreetChild Ministry International. It will be under the committed leadership of PCA physician, Dr. Tom Stewart. The PCA is a denomination rich in medical professionals, many of whom are also committed to missions. In response to a growing interest, Mission to the World held its first medical missions conference in Atlanta in November 2000.
