Crossroads Community International Fellowship Inc

Programs: 1. Crossroads community international fellowship (ccif) established for the purposes of training people in the christian ministry and preparing people to become credential ministers of the gospel of jesus christ. In the year of 2017 there were a total of 231 credential holders, 24 of whom were credentialed in the calendar year. Several of these were in guatemala or peru. In the bible institute over 250 students were enrolled during 2017 either here in the usa or in central or south america. In central america we have ccif-ca - a network of churches and pastors and conducted our fifth annual pastors convention with over 300 pastors in attendance. There are 110 pastors/17 churches recognized as credential holders. During 2017 the organization maintained legal incorporated religious status with the guatemalan government under the name iccef that stands for iglesia comunidad cristiana evangelica de fe. The ccibi (bible institute), with about 100+ students enrolled, is operating under its own funding with minimal outside support and a prison based component recognized at the masters level.

Approximately 325 peruvian missionaries or students were in training during 2017. There were 20 who received ministerial credentials. During 2017 we completed the construction or repair of churches and continued work on a bible camp. We delivered and constructed our second pre-fab building design that meets the specific need for church in the amazon jungle. The village of san juaquin de omaguas was blessed as we worked together to build and dedicate the building.

Presently there are 112 individuals who are working daily to advance the work of the lord in that region.
