Missions

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is.
Missions exists because worship does not . . .

When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more.

It is a temporary necessity, But worship abides forever.

John Piper, Let The Nations Be Glad

Short-term Missions

Kenya

From December 1-14th, 2007, GCC sent out a team of doctors, a nurse practictioner, a social worker, and a dietician to Kasowar, Kenya to aid the Africa Inland Mission Hospital and other healthcare relief efforts. Armed with the Gospel and moved by the Holy Spirit, the team sought to be a blessing and reconcile traditional missionary work and their professions. Working with Dr. Steve Lee, an AIM missionary doctor and medical director, the team assisted with the care of the Marakwet hosital patients, set- up and ran mobile clinics in Tot mainly serving the Pokot people, and experienced a large teaching hospital in Kijabe. The missionary journey and experience was challenging, yet inspiring to all seven team members. Truly, God is good and desires to use us, profesisons and all, for His glory!

Testimonies from the Kenya trip

Ohio - Over the Rhine

This summer a team traveled to the Over the Rhine community in the inner city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Over the Rhine is a ten by fifteen block area that is stricken with homelessness, poverty, prostitution, and hopelessness. As our church's first trip out to the midwest, the team was excited about Cincinnati because God loves the residents of inner cities around the world and we wanted to be a part of God's movement. We participated in an evangelism weekend where we were equipped to share the love of Christ and had the opportunity to practice what we had learned. In addition, we served the community by offering children's Vacation Bible School, open- air evangelism, and practical home construction. We left for Ohio on July 19th and returned on July 28th. We hope to continue serving this area for years to come.
