CU Women's Jobs Corps honored at KY Baptist Convention Click on headline for full story plus photo By Julie Walters News from Campbellsville University (BIRMINGHAM, AL) - Campbellsville University CWJC was honored with the 2009 CWJC Site award which carries a grant to help expand their ministry. Joy Bolton, executive director/treasurer of Kentucky WMU, presented the award on behalf of the WMU Foundation to Edwina Rowell, site coordinator, during the Kentucky Baptist Convention Annual Meeting at Severns Valley Baptist Church in Elizabethtown, KY, on November 10, 2009. CWJC is a ministry of national WMU begun in 1997 that seeks to equip women for life and employment through a Christ-centered, holistic approach. Each CWJC site is created and operated by a woman who has heard and responded to the call of God to invest her life in other people. Campbellsville site one of four in KY, was founded by Debbie Carter The site in Campbellsville, which is one of four sites in Kentucky and one of 215 across the U.S., was founded by Debbie Carter in 2000. She said she became involved with CWJC and continues her involvement because the philosophy and mission of the ministry matches her personal and professional value system. "As a Christian and professional social worker, I strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to have a better life physically, emotionally, and spiritually," Carter explained. Debbie Carter is assistant professor of social work at Campbellsville University and is the wife of Campbellsville University President Michael V. Carter. Rowell drawn to ministry to women Rowell, who replaced Carter as site coordinator in March, became involved in CWJC because she is "drawn to ministry to women and believe God has called me to missions wherever I am." Services offered at Campbellsville University CWJC include one-on-one mentoring and a weekly Bible study in a public housing project. Rowell said they will use the award money of $1,468 for Bible study materials used by mentors, recruitment efforts such as advertising to increase volunteerism and visibility in the community, and to make their new office space a more professional area in which to work. Jean Cullen, national WMU's ministry consultant responsible for CWJC, called site coordinators like Edwina "true heroes" because "they continue to believe and express to others that God desires to be in relationship with each person regardless of their past decisions or circumstances. "With compassion and encouragement, they live daily with the broken relationships, unpaid bills, violated probations, lost jobs, isolation and spiritual darkness that exists in the lives of participants," Cullen continued. "Meanwhile, they manage responsibilities for securing on-going funding, public relations, evaluations, and recruiting and training staff and volunteers." The award was made possible by the Christian Women's Job Corps/Christian Men's Job Corps Endowment managed by the WMU Foundation.
