Bill Richter to itinerate in Miami Presbytery October 19-26

Bill Richter, coordinator of the bi-national ministry, Puentes de Cristo in Reynosa, Mexico, and McAllen, Texas, will itinerate in Miami Presbytery October 19-26. Puentes de Cristo is one of six sites where U.S. and Mexican Presbyterians collaborate in ministries of evangelism, new church development, community health and development, and mission education along our common border. 

During Mission Challenge ‘07, the Presbyterian Church (USA) will send out 48 of its missionaries to share their stories in every corner of the United States. One hundred forty-four presbyteries, including Miami Presbytery, have already committed to participate in this effort to educate the church about how God is at work in the world and how we as a denomination participate in God’s mission. Mission Challenge ’07 is the largest event of its kind ever carried out by our Presbyterian Church.
