Leaders and volunteers from across Mississippi gathered for a training conference held by Literacy Missions Ministry and Christian Women’s/Christian Men’s Job Corps from July 18-20 at Garaywa Camp and Conference Center in Clinton.
Though they are two separate entities, Literacy Missions Ministry and CWJC/CMJC share a common goal: to share Jesus through education and training.
What’s the purpose?
The purpose of Literacy Missions Ministry is to train, equip and partner with Southern Baptists to share Jesus by teaching English to internationals, helping students succeed in school, and assisting adults in improving their reading and writing skills. CWJC/CMJC, a compassion ministry of the national Woman’s Missionary Union, equips women and men for life and employment in a Christian context.
The conference featured seminars hosted by Literacy Missions Ministry, including instruction in English as a Second Language, Tutoring Children and Youth, and Adult Reading and Writing. A certification course in ESL was also offered.
CWJC/CMJC seminars focused on strengthening job training sites across Mississippi, encouraging innovative thinking, and reviewing two books that will be required for site coordinator training.
