The United States of America
Bill Jacobsen
CCWM Ministry Leader Pastor Bill Jacobsen has a big heart for the people of the United States. He spends his days connecting with the community, making disciples who make disciples, and strategically planning how to take the small town over for Jesus Christ. He is especially driven to minister to the needs of the Veterans who have been forgotten.
Cliff and Sue Parrish
CCWM Ministry workers Cliff and Sue Parrish are serving in the United States with Freedom From Within, a discipleship ministry they developed to teach how to live Godly principles.
They aim to teach people to" live it to give it." Cliff and Sue are currently using Freedom From Within in the Illinois prison system to transform lives.
Felix Okoroti
CCWM ministry worker Felix Okoroti was born in Nigeria and educated in Great Britain. Felix and his wife Fiona moved to Rockford, Illinois, more than a dozen years ago.
Their first act of ministry was to hand out tracts at the Rockford Bus Station. Law enforcement quickly put a stop to their bus station outreach. Fourteen years later, it is impossible to go to the YMCA, the homeless shelter, the county or city jail, or about anywhere else without a number of people asking with excitement, “Hey Pastor Felix! Do you remember me?”
Pine Ridge Christian Center
Pine Ridge Christian Center is twenty-three acres of outdoor beauty and peace. Located about seventy miles west of the Chicago Loop, the combination of woods and open field make it an exceptional place for retreats, conferences, and team building.
Facilities include a rustic lodge built from an original barn frame with an overnight capacity of 22, an outdoor basketball court, two small rustic cabins housing three people each, and an outdoor amphitheater with electric service.
The Martha Hiller Lodge Lodge was in fact a barn that was disassembled at the Hiller family Farm and moved to Pine Ridge.
Ray + Shanna Choate
CCWM ministry leaders Ray and Shanna Choate are disciples of Jesus who make disciples who make disciples. In 2020 they packed up their belongings and their four children and moved to Riverton, Wyoming to make disciples there, focusing on those who have fallen through the cracks of society. The couple is led to tackle the issues of addiction within their community and to bring the message of God’s unstoppable love to those who have lost their way.
