Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Christian Women’s Job Corps (CWJC) during its Missions Celebration and Annual Meeting June 10–11 in San Antonio.
In celebrating the anniversary, Wanda Lee, national WMU executive director, led a question-and-answer interview with CWJC volunteers Evelyn Blount, Eileen Fox and Norma Fox and CWJC graduate Maria Diaz.
Officially organized in 1997, CWJC is a ministry that equips women facing a variety of circumstances with life and job skills.
The program involves Bible study, customized instruction and one-on-one mentoring to help participants move toward self-sufficiency.
Currently 13,000-plus volunteers serve 2,134 participants at 168 sites across the country, now also including Christian Men’s Job Corps sites and Spanish-language ministries.
Job corp training teams have also been sent to Mexico, Moldova and Liberia. (BP)
