Missions

In 2011, CVC continues to assist the mission works from previous years, listed below.  Two new, exciting opportunites are before us.  Chris and Sarah (Buddy and Maurine's daughter) Nicholson are moving to Kisumu, Kenya in December to work with the Ring Road orphanage and school.  You can follow their work on their blog: http://tunapendakisumu.wordpress.com.  They will make two survey trips this year, one in January, and one in July.  Sarah will also be the director of a laboratory in Kisumu. 

The second opportunity comes through new members, Rick and Teresa Morse, who make regular trips to Uganda, teaching local church leaders who will teach villagers how to have better hygene and health practices, as they also tell the good news of Jesus.  They work with a program called "Community Health Evangelists."  Visit their blog at: http://morsesinafrica.blogspot.com.  CVC will have opportunities to assist the Morses in their work.

We hope in the future to send some additional workers from CVC to participate in both these missions.

And the church continues to be a part of what was started last year.  In 2010, CVC prayerfully decided to take a special Missions contribution to help with four mission efforts which touch all five major continents.  The first is to help support a team of workers in Russia who will have opportunities in both Europe and Asia.  Second, to set aside funds to send relief to Haiti, and hopefully to involve some CVC members who can go personally.  Third, to assist Jessie Hatfield with her medical mission trip to Guatemala.  And fourth, to help Buddy and Maurine Jones go for a three week mission trip to French-speaking Africa.  The goal was set at $7,000.00; the total contribution was $19,592.31.  Praise God for His abundant blessings.
