Covenant is thrilled to be part of sharing God's Covenant Love around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries with our resources and with our prayers. Covenant supports missionaries through the Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship, contributions to PCUSA, and individual missionaries throughout the world. Members of Covenant have participated in Mission trips to Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea. We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.
RECONCILE, Intl, in South Sudan
After two decades of a brutal civil war that killed 2 million people and displaced millions more, a relative peace has come to Sudan with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005. Now, years after the signing of the agreement and the creation of a new nation, how will South Sudan hold tight to the peace?
Following a war that has occupied the great portion of a generation's lives, how can such a traumatized people break a cycle of violence that has been building within culture itself?
In the midst of such ravaged infrastructure, where communication and interaction with other communities and government is so difficult, where can the people obtain the civic education needed to be effective members of a democratic society?
The churches of Sudan asked these exact questions, and responded with the creation of RECONCILE International.
Covenant actively supports the Revs. Nancy and Shelvis Smith-Mather as mission co-workers in the project.
Maji, Ethiopia
Partnering with other churches in the Treasure Valley, Covenant has helped raise over $50,000 over the past seven years to invest in solar panels for the village hospital, clean water and women's causes for the village of our partner church.
