Africa 2010

“…the time has come for Africa to be the Continent of Hope!” – Pope Benedict XVI

Attention Multiplying Missionaries!

Our Holy Father senses that something extraordinary is happening in Africa. In recent months, he has proclaimed boldly that hope is stirring in this continent. What is this hope?

“Christ Jesus, the Word of life, is the source and fulfillment of all our lives, for the Lord Jesus is the one mediator and redeemer.”

- Pope Benedict XVI, Meeting with the Special Council of the Synod for Africa

Christ is our hope! Jesus is the hope of Africa!

This summer, CCO is sending a small mission team to Africa to help stir up this great hope. Many African university students are full of life, enthusiasm, and love for God. But, like here in Canada, there are many that do not know him or do not know him well enough, and who are desperate for the love and forgiveness that God offers all people. During this mission, we will gather the faithful students already present on campuses in Uganda and train them to be multiplying missionaries, to be agents of hope, to reach out to their fellow students on campus and share the saving message of the gospel with anyone who will listen.

Those accepted for this teaching mission will have past experience in CCO. They will be students or alumni already trained on CCO campuses or who have served on a mission project. They will have the skills necessary to teach what they have learned in CCO to others and be adaptable to the African environment. They will also have a life changing experience they will never forget!

The mission team will be small, so apply soon! Read through the “What’s First” and “Discernment Guide” links to the left. For more information or to apply contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 613-736-1999
