CEDEPCA: An Agent for Change
The delegation of 12 from Presbytery of New Covenant returned from Costa Rica after sharing in God’s work there. The group witnessed the profound results of our support for CEDEPCA’s ministry - lives transformed and church leaders empowered. They also discovered the alive connections between the Latin American Biblical University (UBL), our PC(USA) church and missionaries, and CEDEPCA. Read through statements from the participants:
The partnership between New Covenant Presbytery and CEPDEPCA was renewed by the presbytery in November 2008 for the period 2009-2011.
