Missionaries
CBC exists to build up believers and invite other to recieve Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We support missionaries all around the world who seek to fulfill both of these mandates. This is not an exhaustive list, as some of our missionaries must carry out their work in secrecy, due to hostile political environments of the mission field. Please continue to pray for these "Unknown" missionaries. Page down to view more of our missionaries.

Ministry: To be a tangible expression of God's love to the unreached people of Mali, Africa, taking God's word to them for the first time, in their own heart language. Mali, Africa is one of the regions of the world where there are many unreached and unengaged people groups (UUPG's) who cannot read or write. Our family will be moving there to live with a tribe and will be creating an Oral Bible in their native language. This is a 2 year assignment that will give a chance at hope, purpose, and salvation to the 31,000 people currently there, as well as every generation to come!

Ministry: Our ministry in Israel consists of street evangelism, one on one visits, and special outreaches at national new age festivals which take place around the major Jewish holidays. Because Israelis are secure in their Jewish identity, they are less defensive when the subject of Jesus is brought up to them. But the obstacles to Gospel proclamation to Israelis are nonetheless formidable. They know almost nothing about Jesus and do not even know his correct name in Hebrew. The religious establishment is vehemently opposed to Jewish believers in Jesus and they often try to disrupt evangelistic endeavors.
Please pray that the Lord will use us for His glory as we bring the good news of the Messiah Jesus to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
