Happy Pastor Appreciation Month to our CCI Pastors!

Pastors Anthony and Melanie Freeman serve as AGUSM missionaries, and are the Senior Directors and founders of CCI. Pastors Josiah and Alexis Freeman also serve as AGUSM missionary associates, and are the Associate Directors of CCI.

We are so grateful for their leadership, pastoral heart, and passion for the mission field. Pastors Anthony and Melanie have been a part of founding two Bible colleges, planting many churches, and raising up ministers. And they continue in this ministry today as they disciple young people called to missions and ministry, and support AGUSM missionaries across the country. We just want to honor them, as well as Pastors Josiah and Alexis for their dedication to the call and equipping the next generation of ministers. From all of the late night ministry conversations around the campfire, to cooking hundreds of meals, teaching the Word of God, driving across the country, and modeling the life of a missionary, we thank you for another incredible year of missions and ministry.

Congratulations, God bless, and stay on the path!
