Cwjc/cmjc site leaders
Hello, my name is Chris Rowley and I am the new CWJC/CMJC State Consultant. Having led CWJC in Austin for over 20 years, I am excited to have the opportunity to be the chief servant of and cheerleader for CWJC/CMJC in Texas.
Ephesians 2:10 is the verse the Lord has laid on my heart as we move forward in extending the reach of CWJC/CMJC in Texas:
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
My prayer is that individuals, churches, and associations in Texas will hear the call of God and be obedient to complete the good works He has designed for them through CWJC/CMJC.
