Christian Community Credit Union offers $15,000 matching gift fund for Nepal Earthquake Relief
In response to the aftermath of the massive earthquake in Nepal, Christian Community Credit Union is partnering with American Baptist International Ministries (IM) to offer a $15,000 matching fund for Nepal earthquake relief through One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS), a Christian effort to provide food, water, shelter, and medical attention in times of disaster.
“The needs are enormous,” stated Lisa Rothenberger, American Baptist Churches USA’s World Relief Officer. “This generous response enables us to walk alongside the Nepali people today and into the future. Long after the immediate needs are met, our partners will still be working to rebuild, and this is where our gifts make the most difference.”
“Our hearts and prayers go out to the earthquake victims and their families,” said John Walling, Christian Community Credit Union President/CEO. “We’re thankful for the opportunity to partner with IM and OGHS in their disaster relief efforts to bring help and hope to the people of Nepal.”
