Leadership
ROPC has practical insight into the needs of refugees. The church’s pastor, Zecharias Weldeyesus, was himself a refugee, having fled for his life from Eritrea in 2009. The leader of the Clarkston ministry is another former refugee, Melaku Tamirat, who came to this country with his two sons in 2019 to join his wife, who fled Ethiopia in 2013 because of political strife.
Ways to volunteer
– Teaching English skills
– Praying for an end to the COVID pandemic to allow more in-person interaction
