In recognition of the significant burden that many ethnic minorities in the U.S. face during a global health crisis, PCA Mission to North America has responded by establishing a specific relief fund to assist the diaconates of predominantly ethnic minority churches within the PCA to meet the exponentially increased need of those who have been most affected by the pandemic.
