In a letter to Los Angeles Area Bishop Minerva G. Carcaño, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry General Secretary Kim Cape expressed gratefulness for the California-Pacific Annual Conference’s “strong support of the churchwide apportioned funds.”

As was previously reported, a special offering was taken at Annual Conference 2013 for Africa University and the Ministerial Fund for seminarians, students and instituational support.  Varaidzo Bvirindi of Zimbabwe, a first-year student enrolled in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, was the recipient of the California-Pacific Direct Scholarship for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Kim Cape also expressed her “hope that the members of the California-Pacific Annual Conference will continue supporting the important education and leadership programs and global initiatives made possible in [Cal-Pac] and through the United Methodist connection.”
