Mission of Peace

Mission is a powerful portion of our CCYM youth ministry as we strive to answer God’s call to love and embrace His children. Over the past four years the N.E. Conference has sent thirteen youth missionaries to Cuba, South Africa, India and China thru the NEJ "Mission of Peace". This year we will send one youth delegate to Nicaragua.
