For many years the <a href=\"http:\/\/canadacovenantchurch.celect.org\/cov-kids-congo\" target=\"_blank\">Canada Conference<\/a> has had to tell people that partnering with the ECC in charitable giving projects is impossible. The law hasn\u2019t changed, but unprecedented partnerships have come along to make the Canada Conference participation in Covenant Kids Congo powered by World Vision a reality.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Canada Conference has a long history in Congo having sent several missionaries over the years. When this opportunity came up to work together, we didn\u2019t want to miss out. World Vision Canada and World Vision US have worked together with World Vision Congo to set aside a portion of sponsorships for use in Canada. This has never happened before. The Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada and the ECC have worked with World Vision to adapt Covenant Kids Congo materials for a Canadian audience. We are excited to partner in unprecedented ways among many organizations to help the children, adults, families, and communities of Congo.
