survivor assistance

a new ministry of PCA Ministerial Relief

Every year many of our PCA ministerial families suffer as they grieve the loss of a spouse.
The grieving process is the most intense, emotional experience we can endure.  Grief is painful and at times seems unbearable.  It's a combination of many emotions that come and go, sometimes without warning.
Because grief can be a confusing and overwhelming experience, it is hard for many people to ask for help.  That's why we are taking the initiative in reaching out as Christ's agents in the healing process.
Now, PCA Ministerial Relief is offering a new service to active, disabled, or retired PCA Teaching Elders and their wives who have experienced the loss of a spouse, bringing immediate transitional assistance to grieving survivors.
This new Relief service, "Survivor Assistance," is an added benefit to existing Relief services and operates in addition to the PCA Christmas Offering.  This gift is funded separately from the Christmas Offering and is used in conjunction with other Relief services.  Upon notification of the death of a Teaching Elder or his wife, Survivor Assistance will fund and immediately send a check for $1000 to the surviving spouse and any dependents regardless of their income to help alleviate immediate financial pressure that may accompany the death of a spouse.
