Marcia was appointed as a mission co-worker in January 2004.
Marcia is site coordinator for the Young Adult Volunteer Program, placing young adult volunteers in Guatemalan church communities. She also works with the Central American Evangelical Center for Pastoral Studies (Cedepca). She does translation and research on Guatemala and gives workshops on various topics.
Guatemala, one
of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere, is now in
a period of relative peace, following decades of turmoil, violence,
and resistance.
Marcia is also assigned to Central American Evangelical Center for Pastoral Studies (Cedepca) to develop content for group visits. She's also involved in other areas of Cedepca's work such as developing informational documents and curriculum and translating.
Prior to her assignment in Guatemala,
Marcia served six months at Puentes de Cristo, one of seven projects
of the Presbyterian Border Ministries. There, she coordinated
visiting delegations that come to learn about border issues, such
as immigration and maquiladoras. In 2000-2001 she spent a year
in El Salvador as a participant in the PC(USA)’s Reconciliation
and Mission Exchange Program. In 1999, she lived in Reynosa as
a global intern with Puentes de Cristo. |
