Communications Sub-Committee $8,674.27 has been raised. for the CPK Cyber-Cafe. Thank you PEVA members for your faithful support. CPK and PEVA are working together on a organizational plan.
The sub-committee has been working with Best Buy for Business and is happy to share that they have purchased 4 HP Pavilion Slimline Desktops, 4 HP 20" monitors,4 HP DeskJet All in one (printer, copier, scanner) and extra ink. It was more cost effective to purchase 4 complete workstations in the U.S. for $2,782.52. In the DRC market $1,200 would buy one computer (not the complete set up). There will be a Medial Team going to the DRC in late June they will hand deliver the 4 complete workstations. The Cyper-Cafe will be up and running as soon as possible. PEVA will be distributing the balance of funds raised for this project to CPK which includes a good faith loan of $1,000.
The CPK Cyber-Cafe is a solution not only to better communication with the sister churches but also to enhance the ministry of CPK in several ways. All ministry groups and committees of CPK would benefit from the use of the Cyber-Cafe. The English education group of CPK would be able use it as a tool to teach English with computer software and e-books. Sister churches would benefit from the use to better communicate with their sister churches in PEVA. It can also be used as a training center for CPK and its leadership.
