Global Partnerships
Go into the world.  Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all. Mark 16:15

Capital Christian Center’s commitment to missions involves partnerships beginning here in Sacramento and reaching around the world.  Global Partnerships are reviewed, encouraged, and nurtured through those serving on the Missions Team (formerly Missions Committee) and supported by the regular financial and prayer support of the entire Capital family.

Missions Partners Reports and Updates:

One Day to Feed the World 
Recently the congregation of Capital Christian Center gave one day of their financial earnings to bless the hungry of the world. Convoy of Hope reports that Capital Christian Center’s offering of $67,403.12 for the Convoy’s One Day to Feed the World was the largest single response since it began. Those dollars translate to blessing 67,700. On average, Convoy of Hope has been able to touch one person per dollar given. Thank you Capital Christian Center for caring for those who are hungry and in need. Thank you for giving financial support to our partners at One Day to Feed the World at Convoy of Hope.

Steve & Karen Pecota, formerly Germany
“How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me? An old Andre Crouch song expresses my sentiments exactly. Looking back over the 18 years of ministry in Germany, we can only say it has been one absolutely amazing ride!” Steve and Karen Pecota recently resigned from Assemblies of God World Missions. Their successful career was highlighted by planting churches and conducting Marriage Encounter retreats. They recently came “home” to Seattle to pastor the church Steve grew up in— Calvary Christian Assembly. Please pray for the Pecotas, the German congregation they leave behind, and for a new pastor of the Christliche Gemeinde Norderstedt church in northern Germany.

News from politically sensitive area
One of our missionaries serving in a sensitive country was invited to speak recently at a theological symposium at The Yong San Theological Seminary (YFGC) in Seoul, Korea. He shared the amazing story of the developments of the ministry begun by Dr. David Yonggi Cho. “The YFGC was founded in 1958. In very humble circumstances, David Yonggi Cho began to proclaim the good news of Jesus to a Korea ravaged and divided by war. In the face of tremendous hardships, suffering, and hopelessness, Cho declared that salvation and hope are found in Jesus Christ. Now, almost fifty years later, YFGC is the largest church in the world (750,000 members).”

Two of Our Own — Daniel Matsunaga and Chris Lussier

Daniel Matsunaga is a newly appointed Assembly of God missionary to Fukuoka, Japan. “I cannot thank you enough for all your prayers…for all of your encouragement. One particular aspect I am really excited about is that I will be receiving a Speed the Light vehicle shortly after I arrive in Fukuoka. Speed the Light is the youth initiated ministry of the Assembly of God in which money is raised to provide transportation and communications equipment to missionaries in over 150 countries. I remember as a youth participating in STL fund raisers. It was always exciting to hear reports about how my gift, however large or small, impacted missions by helping to provide a vehicle to a missionary.” Daniel left Sacramento on August 9.

Chris Lussier, Chi Alpha missionary at Sacramento State University, traveled to South Africa this summer to help students set up ministry at the University of Pretoria. “The emphasis…interracial attendance. There are 10 Christian groups at this campus of 38,000 students and none of them have any initiative for promoting racial reconciliation…except ours. Within two weeks of training and encouraging students, five courageous black students chose to go out onto campus and converse solely with white students. Strengthened by the grace of God, they went out in faith and brought back 4 white committed South African students. It is now the first Christian interracial group on campus.”
