Every other month, we share a brief video with our local church community featuring a cluster of missionaries or missional work(s) that CCCM supports in a particular region.
MARCH 2023 HIGHLIGHT: GEORGIA

JED & RENEE GOURLEYThe Gourleys’ vision when they first arrived to Georgia was twofold. First, to plant a church in the capital city of Tbilisi. Second, they see a need to train up laborers who will serve in the Caucasus region, as well as the surrounding countries. They have now experienced God’s work in both of these areas.
ONGOING PRAYER REQUESTS Pray for the Ukrainian refugees who have fled the violence of the war and have relocated to Georgia and other countries; for local workers to be trained up and sent into the harvest fields; for a new meeting place, as they have found it more difficult to find halls that will suit the needs of their growing congregation; for the continued spiritual growth of the college students and church. |

KURT & KENDALL KULAKurt and Kendall have been serving overseas for three decades in Poland, Cambodia, and now the republic of Georgia. Kurt is serving as an assistant pastor at Calvary Chapel Tbilisi and as an instructor of biblical studies at the Bible college. Kendall and Rebekah are very involved in children’s ministry at the church, and all are involved in outreach and home Bible studies.
ONGOING PRAYER REQUESTS Pray that they would stand strong in the grace and love of God; that they would be fruitful in making disciples and training them to do the work of the ministry; that church would become self-sustained, self-governed, and self-propagating churches that are not dependant on outside resources for their survival; that God would use CC Tbilisi and CCBCE to fill Georgia and the surrounding nations with the doctrine of Jesus Christ. |

DAVID & DEBORAH MARKEYDavid and Deborah were forced to leave their church plant in Northern Russia, as a result of the war. Their family has moved to Tbilisi and they now have the privilege of serving at CC Tbilisi and CCBC Eurasia.
ONGOING PRAYER REQUESTS Prayer for their family as the door has closed for them to return to Russia; that they would be a blessing to those who are now serving in Georgia; for their kids, and this big transition, as their life in Siberia was familiar to them; for their dear friends in Russia; for their dear friends in Ukraine; for those who continue to live and serve there and those who have been displaced. Please pray for the end of the war! |
