Wednesday April 23rd:
- Of note, guest speaker will be Mr. Hameed Afzali who spent 7 years as a top level interpreter for the US and coalition forces in Afghanistan. His experiences will provide a very different perspective regarding the war in Afghanistan vs. what we see on the news. Recently, Hameed and his family were identified as supporters of the coalition by the Taliban who threatened to kill all of them. Due to this high risk situation, he and his family were rapidly extricated by the State Department to the US under a special visa program. Currently, he is living in Silver Spring, MD with his wife and two children. Having arrived in the US with very little support, the NVMMO church coalition, of which Pender is a member, has been supporting Hameed and his family start their new life in America. We think you will find his story highly interesting.

Click on this link to see our Pender 2014 Budget.
- It was developed through months of prayer and discussion by our Lay Leadership and Pastors.
- We believe the budget is Holy Spirit inspired and represents God’s direction for Pender.
- It represents a hard look at our core mission work and the financial environment currently present.
- Our priority in compiling the budget was to execute God’s vision.
- Our second priority was to be good stewards of the resources God provides.
If you have questions or comments, please contact KT Tarro, Chair of Council, or Becky Bryan, Chair of the Finance Committee. Your questions and comments are welcome!
