Space Available on Women Ministries Cross-Cultural Trip

CHICAGO, IL (August 16, 2005) - Several slots still exist for women to join a team traveling across Europe this fall, says Ruth Hill, executive minister of Women's Ministries of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

The trip is part of Women Ministries' Cross Cultural Opportunity. Participants will meet Covenant missionaries and members of national churches to learn about the challenges of presenting the gospel in Prague, Czech Republic; Halle, Germany; Paris, France; and La Coru–a, Spain.

The team will leave September 30 and return October 13. Leading the trip will be Jan Epps-Dawson, regional coordinator for Europe and Russia, and Hill.

So far, eight women from four conferences have signed up for the trip. They range in age from 16 to 66.

"The age diversity of this group is delightful," says Hill. "I look forward to the different perspectives they will bring to this experience."

Hill says women should apply immediately if they are interested in joining the group. Cost for the trip is $1,500, which covers all expenses while in Europe. Airfare to Europe is additional.

To register, contact the Women Ministries office at 773-907-3332.

Traveling on the trip are Samantha Davis, West Chicago, Illinois; Betty Evans, Beaverton, Oregon; Pamela Holmberg; Lakewood, New York; Margaret Larson, Two Harbors, Minnesota; Bea Pavlik, Bellevue, Washington; Helen Peterson and Carla Thelander, Jamestown, New York; and Joyce Schut, Rochester, New York.
