Good morning and Happy Wednesday! We apologize if you are receiving this email a second time. We had a problem with the original distribution list this morning.
We hope this email finds you all healthy. The latest variant of Covid-19 has made the rounds with CAJE staff and some of our Justice Ministry Leaders. Please pray for everyone’s full recovery – and for the recovery of our co-chair Pamela Decker who had surgery late last month.
It may seem like a “slow” time in the organization but there is much going on…

1. CAJE staff and a few talented congregational leaders have been working on
several grant applications. We covet your prayers that our requests will be accepted.
We hope to hire a Spanish-speaking Associate Organizer in the spring or summer of 2023! Our Hispanic/Latino brothers and sisters need to be empowered to “do justice” through the grassroots strategies of CAJE. An organizer fluent in Spanish would help us to achieve that goal.
