Next month, our region has the opportunity to hear about what is happening in Democratic Republic of Congo. Paul Turner has been working as Mission Co-Worker, serving with Global Ministries of Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) & United Church of Christ partner, Community of Disciples of Christ in Congo (CDCC). His role was to consult with various CDCC departments on a growing portfolio of development activities such as micro lending, agriculture, clean water, healthcare, vocational training & income generating projects. His current work involves management consulting for a CDCC operated social enterprise selling eyeglasses to support the establishment of an eye care center at Bolenge Hospital. He also supports the Women’s Vocational Center with recruitment & planning, and the health department’s partnership with Disciples4Water.
He will be visiting our Region May 1-31, 2019 and available to make presentations to your congregation in a variety of ways. During this time he will be based in the LA area. Global Ministries requests that a receiving congregation provide meals for the time he is with you and/or hospitality, as needed. Please contact Susan Richardson (see below) right away to request a date and time during for him to present to your congregation, organization, ministry meeting, etc. After his years serving in the Congo, he has much to convey to our Region.
