Get Involved
Who can adopt a CWJC®/CMJCSM ministry site? Any individual, family, Women on Mission group, Sunday
School class, ministry group, Acteens, GAs, youth group, civic organization,
or service club can. In other words, anyone can!
How do you get started?
Locate a site in your community or state or select one in an area
that interests you. Contact the site coordinator to determine specific
needs and ways you can help. Here are some things you might offer to do:
• Become
a prayer partner. Commit to pray daily using the prayer plan,
with specific needs from your adopted site.
• Meet a physical need. Provide or collect items such as Bibles, office or school supplies, meals or healthy snacks, interview
clothing, personal hygiene items, teaching supplies, or building repair
and maintenance items.
• Prayerwalk. Your prayers are needed. The need may be to
prayerwalk the physical meeting place of the CWJC/CMJC, a desired building,
the community where the majority of participants live, or the schools
their children attend.
• Contribute financially. "Cheerful givers" are
needed for CWJC/CMJC locally, nationally, and globally. No gift is too small.
• Volunteer. Make a difference in a man or woman's life! Volunteer
opportunities include but are not limited to: mentoring, helping in the
office, coordinating child care or meals, being a hostess at a celebration
event or open house, teaching a life-skills class, tutoring, computing
instruction, speaking on behalf of the ministry, writing for the newsletter,
driving for a field trip, or encouraging the other volunteers.
• Sponsor an activity or event. Supply small gifts to those
completing life skills classes, collect skin care and makeup samples,
help secure back-to-school supplies for family members, help brighten
any holiday, or host a special event.
• Spring-clean. Spruce up the CWJC/CMJC meeting place. You can
probably help with cleaning and maintaining the facility. This could lead
to furnishing rugs, curtains, or other needs.
• Upgrade computers. Help make basic computer literacy possible.
New computers, software, printers, scanners, paper, and furniture are
often needed.
• Speak up. Be an advocate for CWJC/CMJC participants. Make sure
influential persons in your community and state really know their needs
and good, sound, realistic solutions.
• Plant, pull, and prune. Homes of participants and the site
itself might benefit from your "green thumb."
• Develop a community garden. Assist participants with growing
their own food, preparing it to eat, and storage.
• Raise funds. One-time, seasonal, or annual events can help
underwrite the expenses of operating a CWJC/CMJC ministry site.
• Record history. Use the enjoyment you get out of photography,
scrapbooking, or videography to record the history of your adopted site.
• Play. Facilitate a play day for participants and their families.
Everyone needs recreation and fun.
There is a place for everyone in CWJC/CMJC and something everyone
can do!
