Global Missions: April 10, 2024
Approximately one-fourth of the world’s population can only access contaminated drinking water, and roughly half of the world’s population experiences severe water scarcity for at least part of the year Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Unclean water causes diarrhea resulting in over 1000 deaths daily for children under 5.
Join the Evangelical Covenant Church to walk (or run or roll) 6K with World Vision and celebrate 10 years of partnership through Covenant Kids Congo. No matter where or how you move your feet – in your house, at a park, or through your neighborhood – you’ll join Covenanters around the country to change lives by bringing clean water to those who need it most in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
$50 provides clean water to one person in need!

You’ll find Centennial Covenant Church’s team (CentCov6k) here.

Why 6K?! Why not 5K? Many women and children in the developing world walk a daily, round-trip average of 6K (3.7mi) to access water.
No intention of running, walking or ambling? Support another member of the Centennial Team or contribute $25 for a student to register themselves or a friend!
Busy on May 18th? NO WORRIES! Registrants are welcome to complete the walk anytime, anywhere on May 18th or earlier. There will be a group run from Centennial, but note…
To stay within local regulations,
REGISTRATION for the GROUP RUN FROM THE CHURCH

GETTING INVOLVED
We believe that there are 6 primary ways to get involved in Global Mission.
Nobody is designed for all, but all of us are designed for at least one.
Learn
There are a lot of resources to help us learn more. Try reaching out to the missionaries we support to learn more about them and contact our Global Team for more resources.
Pray
Prayer and Intercession is one of the most vital ways we can participate in God’s Global Mission. Try “adopting” one of our missionaries and commit to praying for them regularly.
Welcome
With the ease of International travel and communication, we have seen an increase in internationals visiting our country. This is a great opportunity to engage and create life-giving relationships with them. Try visiting an ethnic restaurant that you haven’t been to and get to know the staff or volunteer to host students from other countries.
Send
Giving of our resources is a very effective way of supporting ongoing missions across the world. Try supporting a missionary financially on a monthly basis or being a source of encouragement and support for them.
Mobilize
Advocating for our missionaries and encouraging others to get involved. Try getting involved in CCC’s Global Team.
Go
“Go” is the most traditional understanding of involvement in Global Mission. Try going on a short-term or mid term trip with CCC.
