Fear Not!
Not even the Coronavirus
can deter us from mission!
What can we do right now on mission?
- Pray for our mission partners. We have opened a new prayer portal on our website under coronavirus response, in that portal you can read of all the needs of our mission partners, so pray!
- Because mission begins in the home, use the devotionals of the church in your own family!
- Who in your life is disconnected from God?
- Forward the video of our worship services
- Forward our daily devotionals
- and strike up a conversation about faith through that technology
- Support St. Michaelite Caroline Baker in her ministry of Sewing masks for medical personnel here in Charleston! See below for more details.
- Reach out and virtually touch your neighbor with a personal note. If you have chalk laying around the house, go outside and write encouraging notes outside your neighbors’ homes.
Monthly Food Drive for Tricounty Family Ministries

A Report on our Response to the Kenya Famine Relief, July 9, 2020

In many African countries, the consequences of the pandemic go far beyond the crises experienced in the United States and Europe. When the government cancelled schools in Samburu County, Kenya, meals stopped for many children. A plague of locusts attacked their food crops, further reducing their supply, and now many families and children are facing starvation.
Samburu County, Kenya is receiving food from the hands and feet of St. Michael’s mission partners and their associates. Specifically, the St. Michael’s Mission Task Force (“MTF”) received a report on the detailed impact from a $10,000 grant from St. Michael’s plus $3,878 donated from other St. Michael’s members. The allocation and distribution of the food has been a complex, yet rewarding effort by hundreds of volunteers of the Samburu County NKALUP Vision.
