Summer Mission trips 2010


Reynosa, Mexico Saturday, June 19, 13 high school students and four leaders will depart for a week across the border at the Reynosa Alliance Church. They will experience life in a vibrant Mexican church, reaching out to the community.

Please pray for their safety, for the students and leaders to grow in their faith, with servant hearts.

Poipet, Cambodia


Tuesday, July 13 these ten people will depart for an 18 day adventure in the city of Poipet, Cambodia. While there, they will teach two 3-day English Camps, helping the young Cambodian people learn English and make connections with the church in that city. They will also be visiting village churches, upgrading the missionaries' computers, teaching software, doing construction on the kitchen in the new church building, training the medical laboraty team, and doing some maintenance on the laboratory equipment.

Please pray for their trip; for good health, safety, travel logistics, and for stability in the political unrest in Bangkok, Thailand (where they will be landing before taking buses to Poipet.)

Please pray for God's daily leading in the individual lives, the medical ministry in Poipet, and CCC's relationship with Cambodian missionary work.

Please pray that the missionaries in Poipet would be blessed by their visit, that their message would be relevant to the Cambodian English Camp students, and that they would grow in faith.

Cleveland, Ohio Saturday, July 24, 18 middle school students will go on a road trip east toMetro Alliance Church. While there, they will host a Vacation Bible School, complete with live music, pirates, and a talking parrot!

Please pray for safety in their travels, for patience, and hearts to serve each other and the children of Cleveland.

Sisseton, South Dakota Saturday, July 30, 13 families from CCC will travel west to this small town on the edge of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Indian Reservation, home to approximately 4,000 people. They will be serving through home and church building/repair projects, VBS, free car washes, and encouragement to the church there. After three years of trips, many good friendships have been developed, and will continue in encouragment to both sides.

Please pray for all ages serving together, for patience, safety and God's blessing on the whole trip.

 

Cambodian projects we support

CCC has a special relationship with missionaries in the country of Cambodia, where we support projects like these:

  • Church construction: There are many churches that have needs for land and/or buildings in Phnom Penh, Poipet and other locations.
  • Church ministry needs: Every year the American field leadership, along with the leaders of the Cambodian church, prioritize a number of ministries that will have the greatest impact on the development of the Chrisitan church in Cambodia. Some examples are: leadership development, discipleship, women's ministry, children's ministry, and publishing.
  • Rescue Orphanage: Marie Ens runs an orphanage for the many Cambodian children who have lost their parents to AIDS. There is also a hospice for people living with AIDS.
  • New Hope Vietnamese Schools and Churches: Children are taught the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, and a strong christian education in these 5 church-based schools with a total of 400 students. 80% of the students have made professions of faith in Christ. Vietnamese are considered second class citizens, so their children are not welcome in the Cambodian schools. Often they are abused and sold into prostitution. The New Hope Team breaks this cycle.
