missions


 

Here at CCSB we hold fast to Jesus’ command to go into all the Nations and make disciples. We also believe that this isn’t a work that we can accomplish on our own. Without His Holy Spirit we cannot hope to meet this great need. We believe we are joining Him in this mission and we pray to the Lord of the Harvest to guide us and send Laborers into this great work.

Join us as we seek to expand the Kingdom of God by engaging through church plants, mission trips, supporting full time missionaries, reaching the unreached people groups, and making disciples in our own community.

  • KEITH & LORI BEYAR

    Ministry: Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru)

    Location: Budapest, Hungary

    Info: Effective Leaders, Growing People & Healthy Teams to Bring Jesus to the Nations - this is what the Beyars' are all about as they serve/oversee Cru ministry in over 20 countries located throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. The Beyar family is stationed in Budapest, but work with the leaders in these nations by bringing them relevant training and leadership development to increase ministry fruitfulness.

    About: In 1990, just 6 months after the Berlin wall fell, Keith & Lori went on a mission trip to Prague, Czechoslovakia, as college students. During that summer they met people who had never talked or even heard the name of Jesus. It was at this point that their hearts were struck and they knew they had to go where people had never heard of Christ.

    Children: Emma, Joel & Nadya

    Pray:

    • 50,000 disciples they are trusting God to provide by 2020

    • God would raise up leaders in 8 countries that don't have spiritual movements & for the Gospel to spread in these countries

  • CHAD & MARTHA EARL

    Ministry: Ethnos360

    Location: Papua New Guinea

    Info: Chad and Martha, along with their partners the Rimestad and Mueller families, are living among the Maliyali people in Papua New Guinea and are currently working on the long task of becoming fluent in their culture and language. It is their goal to one day see a mature church established among the Maliyali people as they currently have no access to Gods truth in their own language.

    About: Jesus last words to His disciples were,"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." (AKA 'of all People Groups'). So, knowing that is God's desire, Chad and Martha feel led to be a part in seeing disciples made among the "least reached people groups" in the world.

    Pray:

    • They would daily, humbly seek wisdom from God

    • Culture & language acquisition among the Maliyali people

    • God to prepare the hearts of the Maliyali people for one day receiving God’s Word

    Location: Roatan, Honduras

    About: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). Dave & Heather heard His call upon their lives and are answering His call by stepping out in obedience and faith. This all is a direct result of Dave feeling the Holy Spirit give him a burden for Roatan and its people, when he had attended an evening prayer meeting for Roatan.

  • JANOS & ANJA HENCH

    Ministry: City Light Hamburg, a Calvary Church Plant in Hamburg, Germany

    Location: Hamburg, Germany

    Info: Hamburg, is a port city, and is considered the second largest city in Germany, as well as the ninth largest city in Europe. It has a population of approximately 1.8 million people, and it's nickname is "The Gateway to the World". That is why CityLight's ministry concentrates on equipping and discipling people to reach others around them so that Hamburg, Germany, and the world will hear the Gospel.

    About: In January of 2013, God showed Janos & Anja that they were called to Hamburg, Germany. After making the decision to move there, God has confirmed this calling to them both many times. The Hench family knows that if they decided to not answer this call from God, they would not be able to fully experience the deeper relationship God has called them to have with Him. This is why in November of 2013, they, along with their two daughters, made the move from Siegen to Hamburg, Germany, and will assist the Roper family in planting a church called CityLight Hamburg.

He used some powerful confirmation through His Word (Genesis 12:1, and later Acts 7:3) as well as a natural burning desire while providing all the people and circumstances to do it. After a process of preparation and strong confirmation and provision from the Lord, Brandon was sent out as a full-time missionary in 2003.

  • RON MILLER

    Ministry: Blessings Foundation Ministry

    Location: Chiang Rai, Thailand

    Info: Ron serves in the Golden Triangle where Burma (now Myanmar), Laos & Thailand come together on the Mekong River. This area is one of the world's largest producers of opium and methamphetamines. Spiritual battles they face include: child prostitution, child slavery, AIDS, drug production & addiction and demon worship. Their ministry is to save as many children as they can, share the Gospel and make disciples for the Lord Jesus. For the past 25 years, God has allowed Ron to serve among the tribal groups of Southeast Asia including the: Hmong, Akha, Lahu, Shan, Karen, Lisa and Northern Thai.

    About: When Ron was on military assignment in SE Asia, he promised himself as soon as he was financially able, he would return to the area to help children in need. In war, everyone suffers, but children always suffer a disproportionate amount of pain for circumstances they had nothing to do with. All too often, their childhood is lost, and their innocence stolen. After coming to faith in Christ in 1974, Ron realized the answer for the people of Thailand was the love and grace found in Jesus. Ron has been serving since 1991 in Thailand at an orphanage. They have 5 works, 4 in Thailand and one in Burma.

    • They would not get too comfortable & lose vision for the Great Commission

    About: Since his wife went home to be with Jesus in 2012, Ted sensed the Lord preparing him for another step of faith. One thing the Lord has pressed on Ted's heart, is the realization that life is short. He wants to do well for Jesus because He died for his sin. Ted also wants to do well for his wife, who gave so much for him. He is convinced this is the direction God has for him. Ted's responsibilities include: worship ministry, discipleship, and teaching an English speaking men's Bible study at Calvary Chapel Rosarito.
