Out of Africa


COMING THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7: OUT OF AFRICA
Jesus came to reach the entire world and we have the unique privilege of participating in spreading His love and truth as far and wide as we possibly can. We will be sharing our recent experience in Kenya through photos, video, and word. We were there because of you and the incredible investment our CCC family has made in missions through the years. Our involvement in missions and giving to others is one of the pillars that sustains and empowers us as a family of believers. Your personal involvement in missions and giving to others either is or will be one of the pillars that sustains and empowers you and your household in the days ahead. We are going to have a great day growing together!

COMING NEXT SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14: WILLIAM PAUL YOUNG
Author of The Shack, Paul Young will be speaking in our morning services and then providing a great opportunity to answer your questions in an evening session beginning at 6:00 p.m. Invite your friends and family to join you for this inspirational day of learning how much God loves you and them.

John 10:27-28 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

Inspiring & Rewarding


We are having a great time in Kenya. It has been a full week but very inspiring and rewarding. I have been speaking twice a day to the pastors of the Kenya Assembly of God churches. They are very receptive and have impressed us with their humility and passion to serve Jesus in the midst of incredibly difficult environments. The missionaries in Kenya are a great group of people and they have led the church in Kenya with excellence. We have supported the Bible School in Nairobi where most of the pastors that I am speaking to each day received their training. Our investment is reaping an awesome harvest. I am looking forward to telling you more about it.

As the days go by, I am finding myself thinking of you and growing anxious to get back home to see you. The impact of seeing what God is doing in this part of the world will stir in my heart for months to come. But I am also keenly aware that you are my family and feel all the more bonded to you in this time of absence.

Sunday will be another wonderful day at CCC! Doug will bring God’s Word and the worship and fellowship will be life changing. Don’t miss what is happening when we pursue God in truth, growth, and love.

Psalm 5:11-12 “. . . let all who take refuge in you be glad, let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”

Global Impact


Cathy and I are in Nairobi, Kenya, Sunday as we begin a full week of ministry to the General Council Conference. There has been incredible growth in the church in Kenya and we are blessed to be able to experience it first hand.

It is going to be an incredible day at CCC!! Mark Bouman, missionary to Cambodia, will be sharing his amazing story of transformation from a very dysfunctional upbringing. Invite a friend to join you for an unforgettable experience.

Don’t forget to pray this week about your participation in our global outreach. At the end of the service Sunday we will be encouraging everyone to consider a monthly gift to missions in order to spread the good news of God’s love around the world. You can be a part of a global impact.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
