A year of international mission

Among Latin American countries in relationship with the United Church of Christ, Cuba and Venezuela received delegations in 2008.

"Caravanistas" such as Rev. Max Hale went to Cuba to learn, witness, and assist after hurricane-caused destruction. Sponsored by Christ Congregational UCC in Pueblo, Hale's article appears in a Pikes Peak justice blog.

Annual construction, medical and youth trips were part of the Rocky Mountain Conference's Global Partnership with Venezuela. Read more in the Conference newsletter.

Venezuela trips are planned in April, July and October of 2009, and are currently open to more UCC participants. For more information contact Alice Silver, agsilver@pair.com.
