Missions

The Kingdom of God is made up of people from all over the world, including people of every race, tongue, and tribe. This truth leads us to strive for a Kingdom focus, knowing that the body of Christ is bigger than our church and community. This focus plays out in both our commitment to support long-term missions throughout the world as well as going on short term mission trips as a body.

Derek and Catalina met on the mission field in Mexico.   They now serve with the Mission to the World (PCA) on a church plant team in Romania.  Their vision is to help identify, train, and resource young leaders for a nationally-led church-planting movement!  Their service includes English as a Second Language (ESL), leadership training, and university ministry.

The Van de Hoeves serve since July 2017 in Belgium. Edgar supports the growing international team as the personnel officer. He helps new workers with visa applications and all the logistics of coming to and staying in the country. We want to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the unreached in Belgium.

Jim serves the Latin American Church as adviser and trainer.  Under his guidance they have launched many Presbyterian churches, especially in the area just south of the California/Mexico boarder.  There goal is 50 new churches.

Rachel serves as an instructor and Director of the Music Department for The Rafiki Foundation in Nairobi Kenia. The Rafiki Foundation works with orphans and widows as well as providing a PreK through twelfth grade Christian classical education for local students and teachers colleges for future teachers through the Rafiki Advanced Learning Institute.  

Kathleen serves with TEAM Mission as a Linguist, assigned to translate the Bible into Chad’s Runga language.  After a year in Annecy France learning French she will head to Chad, learn Arabic and a local trade language before immersing herself in Runga.  Pray for God’s enablement through the multiple language learning process so she can soon focus on Runga!

In October, we are traveling to Belgium to help Operation Mobilization (OM) . We will be assisting them with construction projects and helping evangelize the surrounding community. We have a received a $5,000 matching grant for the first $5,000 we raise. If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to reach out to Drew Archer at drew@cpcnewnan.com.

However, if you'd rather give towards the trip, pledge "cards" are available in the weekly bulletin and can be placed in the offering plate or given to David Ecklebarger or Jenny Shumake. You also can pledge online by clicking the link below and selecting "Missions" in the giving drop-down option.
