going to hard places with hope, resources and leadership
South Sudan
South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, gained independence from Sudan in 2011 and is currently the poorest country worldwide. In the 13 years since then, the country has been plagued by multiple civil wars and tribal conflicts. Sadly this is nothing new to them, as countless wars have been fought since Sudan’s independence from colonialism in 1956. Now the war in Sudan, which has been raging for the past 18 months, has exasperated the problem, with thousands of refugees crossing the border into South Sudan over the past few months.
PCCR received a request for help through a contact and currently has a team in the country. We plan to assist one of the camps in a town along the River Nile, near the Sudan border.
WARM Project
It’s now been a couple weeks since Hurricane Helene devastated Mitchell County, NC, and the surrounding areas. Recovery efforts have been progressing nicely. However, 40% of the local community is still lacking electricity with no idea of when it will be restored. With winter rapidly approaching, another need will soon become more urgent. Heat.
The Warm Project was created to help meet this urgent need by supplying an estimated 1,000 vulnerable households in the greater Mitchell County area and beyond with a source of heat.

Hurricane Helene
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, most of North and South Carolina, as well as eastern Tennessee underwent catastropic flooding, power outages and damaged infrastructure, including bridges, major interstates, highways and many smaller roads. We are currently working on the ground to help with road clearing, flood cleanup, wellness checks and more.
Thailand - Burma Crisis
The civil war in Myanmar has undergone escalations in recent months with intensified fighting. This has resulted in various humanitarian implications, that even extend to Thailand as Burmese refugees, particularly children, seek asylum from the war.
The influx of Burmese children into Thailand was brought to our attention and our organization was requested to come to Thailand and assess the needs and consider ways we can help.
Ukraine - Russia Conflict
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded the Ukraine and started war. Civilians have started returning to their homes (or what is left of them), except the areas where the fighting still continues. Our team has established a base in eastern Ukraine and is currently working to provide humanitarian aid to the areas locked between the conflicting armies. Pray for the civilians who are now working to find a new normal with the ongoing fighting, and that the war would soon stop. Pray for safety, wisdom and strength for our team, as they navigate the many needs that have been brought to them.
US First Response
The purpose of this program is threefold: to train and equip our youth, to activate the church, and to impact our nation.
Our goal is to send leaderstrained and equipped to respond to crises within the US and then build on that training and experience for further development to send them into more intense situations internationally.
