Missions

We had an incredible time on our Guatemala Mission Trip and couldn’t do it without your support! Thank you for praying, giving and supporting our team and our 410 Wall Project. Our CCC Kids did an amazing job raising over $10,000 towards this project during Summer Blast and thanks to your giving we are getting closer to reaching our $23,000 goal. This wall will build an exterior perimeter structure to keep the schools and medical centers in El Triunfo safe. Our team got to spend some of their time helping with the construction process, and you can help get it completed by giving to the link below. Thank you for your help and continued prayers for our missions partners in El Triunfo and the 410 Bridge leaders and organization.

SOME OF OUR MISSIONS INITIATIVES

CIU Prison Initiative

This month we will be spotlighting the CIU Prison Initiative. Through this program men who are serving time at Kirkland Correctional Institution have an opportunity to get an education covering courses in core classes, but also in Biblical Studies. Upon graduation of this program, the men are being sent out into prisons all around the state to serve and minister for the sake of the Gospel. Our church has been incredibly blessed by seeing what God has done and continues to do in these men and how he is using them for the Kingdom. CCC continues to help fund and provide this education and is excited about the opportunity to head back into the Prison, once restrictions are lifted, to share God’s word with these students.

410 Bridge

This month for our 12 month missions awareness we want to bring our attention to 410 Bridge. We partner with 410 to help communities like Cercady, Haiti and a future community in Guatemala soon! 410 serves communities by helping establish towns and villages with training, resources in order to build them into a self sustainable model. Join us as we pray for 410 Bridge this month.

What can I do?

First, pray. Take time to pray for 410 Bridge, their leadership and their support. As they reach the different communities, and coordinate creating partnerships with churches and communities. Pray for our current partner city Cercady, Haiti. Pray for their leadership counsel, the people in the village, and that as we transition out of Cercady, they will continue to thrive as a community. Pray for our 320 Students mission trip to Guatemala. Pray as we continue to look for our next partner city there as well.
