Conference Calls to Focus on CWR Projects

CHICAGO, IL (October 21, 2011) – Covenant World Relief (CWR) will facilitate two conference calls that will enable people to discuss the ministry’s current projects, ways in which they can connect with these initiatives, and CWR’s new materials.

The calls will be held at noon on October 27 and at 2 p.m. on November 8. Both times are Central Daylight Time. To participate, call 231-929-6700 and when prompted, enter the conference ID number: 4803035.

The calls are open to any interested individuals. Pastors, church staff, and lay ministry leaders are especially encouraged to participate.

“The calls will be highly interactive and will be a great opportunity to ask questions,” says Chrissy Palmerlee in the CWR office.

The ministry also has posted two videos that highlight the work of CWR over the past year and how CWR makes decisions about where to respond and in what ways.
