Global Ministries Council of Theological Students Travels to China

Each academic year, Global Ministries gathers a Council of Theological Students (CTS) composed of representatives chosen by theological schools and associations related to the United Church of Christ and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).  Members gain first-hand experience of Global Ministries work through the opportunity to experience the home-based work of Global Ministries in education, interpretation, and advocacy; and the option to participate in a People-to-People Pilgrimage with global partner churches and schools. 

Members of the 2009-2010 Global Ministries Council of Theological Students depart on a People-to-People Pilgrimage with partners in China on May 25th.  During their two week experience, members of the Council of Theological Students will build on networks and theological work they’ve engaged in together during the past year.  Immersed in theologies and practice of mission and the church in China, members will travel together, meet theological students at seminaries and Bible colleges in China, visit with church leaders and worship with partners. Please pray for the pilgrimage participants:
