Since September, 1996, our department has been in a partnership with World Gospel Mission that makes all our CCCU missionaries WGM missionaries. WGM is headquartered in Marion, Indiana, and has approximately 230 missionaries serving on various fields. Our missionaries are currently serving the fields of Bolivia, Honduras, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, and Paraguay, as well as ministering to Native Americans.
Teresa Bowman
Teresa Bowman serves on the Texas-Mexico Border, working with children, youth, and families.
"I received a call to serve the Lord as a missionary during my teenage years, but other life choices kept me from answering that call until now.
In the intervening years, I have raised my children, cared for aging parents, and served in my local church. Now that my children are all grown and gone and my parents have passed on, I feel free to return to the calling which the Lord placed on my life so long ago and re-confirmed over twenty-five years ago.
Mike Banks
I serve in missions because of my love for Christ and the passion He has placed in my heart to disciple young people, specifically the children of those in full-time missionary service. The transitions and pressures that many of them experience are very unique to missionary kids. It is my goal to help them process these experiences, encourage them personally and spiritually, and hopefully empower them for growth through it all.
In 2007, I was asked to consider taking on the role of MK Ministries coordinator at WGM. Over the next two years, God worked on my heart. In 2009, I accepted that major ministry change. After finishing the school year at SCCLC, I relocated to the U.S. to assume this position. Now I serve alongside pastors to missionaries, pastors to retirees, and our staff counselors on the Member Health Team.
As the MK Ministries coordinator, I lead MK programs at missions events, direct WGM’s MK Camp, work with other organizations in hosting MK-centered events during the year, and visit MKs on the field and college-age MKs at universities.
Other Missionaries
We have others coming to share and raise funding for areas we cannot disclose. These are people who are taking great risk to share the gospel in areas where it is very dangerous to be a christian. To donate to them or to our general missionary department, click here.
