Dear Friend,
As 2025 begins, I have some exciting news. At least 16 gave their hearts to Jesus during house fellowships in December! Our leader for Persian ministry and the team challenged one another to personally invite people to hear the Christmas story and learn about Jesus. And they did! And people responded to the Gospel. Thanks be to God!
Each week, our Persian ministry reaches hundreds of thousands of people digitally online and over satellite systems. And we have amazingly courageous people who follow-up in country to share the hope in person. These new believers are fruit of that work, your prayers, and above all, the Holy Spirit opening lives.
I don’t know about you, but it inspires me to keep praying, as well as to share my own faith with people I meet in my own community. May you be so encouraged.
grateful for each one of you,
CAUTION IS NEEDED IN PUBLICIZING THIS MINISTRY, WHICH REACHES INTO AREAS WHERE CHRISTIANITY IS ‘NOT ALLOWED.’

GETTING INVOLVED
We believe that there are 6 primary ways to get involved in Global Mission.
Nobody is designed for all, but all of us are designed for at least one.
Learn
There are a lot of resources to help us learn more. Try reaching out to the missionaries we support to learn more about them and contact our Global Team for more resources.
Pray
Prayer and Intercession is one of the most vital ways we can participate in God’s Global Mission. Try “adopting” one of our missionaries and commit to praying for them regularly.
Welcome
With the ease of International travel and communication, we have seen an increase in internationals visiting our country. This is a great opportunity to engage and create life-giving relationships with them. Try visiting an ethnic restaurant that you haven’t been to and get to know the staff or volunteer to host students from other countries.
Send
Giving of our resources is a very effective way of supporting ongoing missions across the world. Try supporting a missionary financially on a monthly basis or being a source of encouragement and support for them.
Mobilize
Advocating for our missionaries and encouraging others to get involved. Try getting involved in CCC’s Global Team.
Go
“Go” is the most traditional understanding of involvement in Global Mission. Try going on a short-term or mid term trip with CCC.
