CEPAD's primary focus is community development in three primary areas: training community leaders, teaching sustainable agricultural practices, and empowering women. A small part of their work involves supporting Protestant groups who visit Nicaragua. For the smaller number of groups who choose to enter CEPAD's partnership program (like the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy), they continue to support both North American and the Nicaraguan communities in their partnerships. For the PCUSA it is a two-way street: they support our mission and The Presbyterian Church (USA) finances mission co-workers like Justin and his wife, Rene' who work directly with CEPAD.
