CCDA practitioners have responded this year to the humanitarian crisis at our border day in and day out. Our Southwest Border Local Network, in partnership with CCDA, is creating a learning lab to help our association continue to practically respond. Participants will learn about ministry work along the border and deeply engage the issues surrounding the current migration crisis. More information is included below. 

Meet with local leaders and see first-hand how CCD is being lived out on the border at our “Voices from the Desert” Conference.

What is COPE?

COPE is a 2.5 hour experiential event that accommodates 40 to 120 participants. ​In partnership with the Chalmers Center (authors of When Helping Hurts), Think Tank has partnered with Unite to deliver COPE to thousands of DFW residents.
