Mission society sponsors workshop
(29 Feb 04) A Kansas educational mission society sponsored a "team-builing" workshop for representatives of its thirteen scholarship sites in Guatemala. The Children's Christian Concery Society (CCCS) invited two representatives from each Guatemala site for a day-long workshop led by Missionary Mark Kempff of Panama. Participants were able to share their challenges and successes in administering the scholarship efforts in their churches and schools. They also were able to brainstorm ideas for the future. The CCCS began 35 years ago by helping open a boarding section at a Lutheran school for a handful of students. Today it is active in fourteen countries in Latin America and Africa providing educational assistance at over 90 sites.
