In November of 2007, CCC sent a team to Nicaragua and we were able to connect with the Bagwell's and learn more about the amazing ministry they have there. We have continued to take teams to Nicaragua and have deepened our connection with the Bagwell's. Click on the link below to go to their website.
Valuable teaching from Christ Community Church and Shiloh Place Ministries has prepared us to reach out and care for Peruvian pastors and foreign missionaries serving in Peru. In the past, few ministry leaders have had someone to turn to for confidential personal care. With undeniable favor we have been placed in this void to provide these valuable leaders with a safe place to walk in transparency and find strength and encouragement to regain their passion.
Ministry and family pressures can sometimes cause internal strife that needs to be evaluated and lovingly attended to. Marriage enrichment, leadership coaching, family therapy and prayer ministry are all used effectively, according to the needs of each situation.
Core convictions of love, respect, empathy, faithfulness and no condemnation work in harmony to facilitate trust and cooperation with the Father's leading.
Peru has thousands of valiant saints who have answered the Lord's call to take His Kingdom to millions of Peruvians. He has called them not only to go, but to finish strong as well. We are honored to serve those dear, sometimes weary saints and honored to represent Christ Community Church and Evangel Fellowship International for eight years in South America.
Since 2007 our church has taken multiple trips to the Managua area of Nicaragua. In the last two years we have gone 2-3 times a year to support the Bagwell's and their ministry. You will have opportunity to get involved as we plan our next trip. You can also join our Global Outreach Team if your heart is moved by missions.
