- To provide avenues of action for individuals and small groups of committed Christian lay persons and ministers.
Past Events
The five workshops conducted by The EZRA Project and CMJ Ministry between 2018 and 2019 addressed over 500 people in multiple churches around the Chicago area as well as nationally including a session in Juneau, Alaska.
