Christian Missionary Fellowship (CMF) Ethiopia
Jake & Erin Moore
Jake and Erin Moore are missionaries, joining a church-planting team that is working with an unreached tribal group in Ethiopia, known as the Gumuz.
The Gumuz tribe lives in remote Northwest Ethiopia, just north of the Blue Nile River. There are close to 300,000 people that live in this area that have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ.
The Moore family is leaving mid-March for Ethiopia, where they will spend the remainder of 2006 in a language study program. By January 2007 they will be moving out into the Gumuz tribal areas to begin evangelism and discipleship efforts in this unreached area.

Christian Missionary Fellowship (CMF) Great Britain
Larry & Debbie Kinneman
Larry and Debbie and their family arrived in Great Britain in 1993 to work with teammates in developing leadership and spiritual maturity in a new church plant – Bromsgrove Christian Church in Birmingham. After four years, the church was able to stand on its own, a totally British church.
After a one-year furlough, the Kinemans returned to England in 1998 to begin a new church in the city of Worcester, a beautiful old city of about 100,000 people where only 2 to 3 percent of the population attends church. They have partnered with a local congregation that had been praying about a potential new church plant, and launched Sunday services at Manor Park Church in 2000. Larry has preached, provided guidance and direction since. Manor Park recently hired a British minister, so the Kinemans will be completing their work with that congregation.
Larry also directs basketball programs in the community, speaks at various churches and schools, leads youth programs and activities. Debbie is involved in children’s Sunday school and ladies’ ministries, and helps with various youth and adult activities. Together with new teammates, the Littens, they are laying the groundwork for a new church plant in Warndon Village, a suburb of Worcester.

HIS EYES - Honduras
Trevor and Valerie Colby
Trevor and Valerie Colby are missionaries working in the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa. Their ministry encompasses a variety of activities, staff, and individuals all with different methods but with the same end goal: sharing Christ’s love with the world, and leading the lost to Christ.
The mission was started with general medical work in 1994 associated with Iglesia Cristiana Cuerpo de Cristo (Body of Christ Christian Church).
It is still associated with the church today and sits on the same property. Starting in 2001, short term groups of volunteers from the USA have participated in the mission which has allowed the mission to expand beyond medical work and reach into many different areas of mission work throughout Honduras.
A partnership was formed with Master Provisions for a clothing ministry. Five clothing stores have opened in Tegucigalpa which offer an opportunity for ministering through inexpensive clothing. A computer school for those who want basic to slightly advanced computer knowledge has also opened through the donations of used computers. This school serves great outreach potential in a community where having your own computer is rare at best. Plus, the medical/dental/optometry clinic continues to expand in its scope and number of patients seen.
The mission has also placed and oversees a church plant in the rural town of San Juancito, approximately one hour from Tegucigalpa. Presently, the mission is working with other Body of Christ Christian Churches throughout Honduras to plant additional churches in towns and villages that are virtually unchurched.

Gospel for Asia
Today the reality is that 97 percent of the world's unreached lives in the 10/40 Window, a rectangular shaped area on our globe extending from West Africa to East Asia. In this part of the world, millions live with little or no chance of ever hearing the Gospel. The Window also encompasses the majority of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. Over 80,000 die every day in Asian countries without knowing about the love of Jesus Christ. 500,000 villages in India alone have never heard the Gospel.
Although 97 percent of the world's unreached lives in the 10/40 Window, less than .05 percent of our total resources as the Church in the West are being sent to help share the Good News. Truly there is a staggering amount of work to do. Center Pointe supports 3 native families and 3 native individuals in India who are risking their lives daily by sharing their faith in treacherous areas. With people like these, Gospel for Asia is reaching the world for Christ by:
- Planting Churches in Unreached Areas: In each aspect of Gospel for Asia’s ministry, the primary aim is to plant churches among the unreached-those who have never heard the Gospel.
- Sending Native Missionaries: Gospel for Asia trains and sends native missionaries because they have proven extremely effective. They are already familiar with the language and culture, and they live at the level of the people they serve, thus removing many social barriers.
- 100 Percent Goes to the Field: Gospel for Asia sends 100 percent of the money donated for work on the mission field to the field. Nothing is taken out for administrative expenses.
