Support our summer project!

Funding the combined cost of our summer opportunities for 2009 will require us to raise an additional $14,107.

We invite you to learn more about our 5 summer partnerships for 2009, and to contribute to our 2009 Summer Ministry Project fund.

Summer, 2009 plans

CTI announces confirmation of all of our summer partnerships for 2009:

Round 1: (training June 2-15, overseas June 16 - July 14)

YFC Hong Kong

YFC Honduras

YWAM Taiwan

Round 2: (training July 7-21, overseas July 22 - August 17)

YFC Guatemala

YFC Serbia

Our target is to mobilize 55 young people on these teams in addition to leadership (5 teams with 11 members and 2 leaders on each team.)

CTI's summer ministry is one of the key ways we seek to support global missions and ministry through the impact of music while developing Christian leadership and character in young musicians. Please pray along with us for these five ministry partners, these 55 team members, and these 10 leaders: that those to whom we come might be changed because of our coming, and that those who go might be changed because of their going.

Overseas locations for fall 2008 ministry

We're pleased to announce that our fulltime teams have been invited to minister in Taiwan and the Philippines this fall.

Both teams will leave at the end of September - 1421 to Taiwan to work with YWAM there, and 1422 to the Philippines to work with several missions agencies and churches under a coordinated effort by a radio ministry operating out of Cagayan de Oro. They'll return to the US in late October to resume their stateside touring.

The teams will have more details to share about their upcoming work, so be sure to check their blogs!
