Check out this spotlight on one of CEWA's PhD students.

"For Leon, the ultimate goal is not simply to become a better professor or musician. It is to help prepare those who will serve others."

We love seeing so many people interested in our program; unfortunately, we have limited space. The UK version of this program is now limited to a maximum of 24 students.

Thank you to Annmarie for sharing her experience with the ATH program that she and her husband both attended.

We hope that all of our students gain the skills to help communities in need locally and globally.

Rejoicing at CEWA today for this fabulous news! We're launching the MA in ATH in Ukraine!

In just 10 days, more than 40 donors helped make something extraordinary possible.

Dallas International University has officially reached the fundraising goal needed to launch Arts & Trauma Healing training in Ukraine this summer.

The first cohort of students is already moving through the admissions process, and leaders in Ukraine will soon begin training to bring healing, hope, and resilience to communities deeply affected by war and trauma.

We are overwhelmed by the generosity, prayers, and support that made this possible. God has been incredibly faithful.

Join us in June for the Arts for a better Future workshop as we learn how to engage with arts across cultures and spark creativity in diverse contexts!

Big news, and a big need for CEWA - please pray for this project in Ukraine!

This came together faster than any of us expected.

An opportunity is in front of us to launch trauma healing training in Ukraine this June, equipping leaders who are already serving people living in the middle of war and loss.

Now we have a narrow window to act.

We need to raise $65,000 by May 6 to make this launch possible.
These funds will go directly toward scholarships, translation, and the on-the-ground training needed to equip leaders immediately.

Delay isn’t neutral. It means leaders wait. Communities wait. Healing waits.

We’re stepping forward in faith and trusting God to provide.
If you’d like to be part of this, you can join us in three ways:
• Give toward the need
• Pray for the leaders and communities in Ukraine
• Share this opportunity with others who may want to be involved
