GLOBAL 6K A HUGE SUCCESS!
Last month, Centennial Covenant Church participated in the ECC/World Vision Global 6K run/walk and raised just over $5000 for projects to bring safe water to kids in the Congo. Here are a few highlights of the morning, and more photos can be seen on the church website.

Gifts for Ghana
Michelle Dillard, Centennial member and Littleton Public School teacher, will be traveling to Ghana on July 13th with the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classroom program. She will visit with educational leaders, teachers, embassy officials and students. She has compiled an Amazon wish list of gifts and school supplies she would like to take with her to the village of Savelugo in the rural area of northern Ghana. Could you make a purchase and have it sent to her (address in Elexio) or bring it to church by JULY 7?

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.
