Cross Cultural Opportunities 

Cross Cultural Opportunities (CCOs) are organized and promoted through the Department of Women Ministries as a means of sharing in prayer and becoming more familiar with the people and customs of another culture. These travel opportunities are held every years (except in a Triennial year) for a group of 15 women. Also referred to as a Prayer and Cultural Education (PACE) opporotunity, the next trip will be to China in April 2009.

An updated participant application form will be available soon. 

The next trip is planned for China in 2009.

Annual Projects

The most significant engagement in global ministry is through various annual projects. The Leadership Team determines a ministry focus each year, typically alternating between domestic and international projects. Since the 1970s, international projects have included:

•    an intensive program improving the life style of Congolese women;

•    a seminary dormitory in Japan; church planting in Colombia and Taiwan;

•    women ministries in Oaxaca, Mexico;

•    housing for homeless girls in Medellin, Colombia;

•    Bibles for young orphans and life skills training for orphanage graduates in Russia;

•    outreach ministries in Laos and Thailand;

•    four visions in four African countries; and

•    education for Congolese young women.
