Join us for a CPD Family Zoom Gathering

Date: Saturday, January 30th, 2021

Time: 9am HST, 11am PST, and 12pm MST

The Central Pacific District is proud to announce that Jason and Andi are transitioning to serve in the Taiwan field. We commissioned them at Encounter in Hawaii, early in 2020, and now they will be in Taiwan in January 2021!

The CPD will continue to pray, support, and care for them no matter where they are; as Jason and Andi wrote, “Our Lord has gathered His armies from four corners of the earth to fight for the end.” They are confident that the Lord is their provider and their CPD family will continue to support them.

Their Prayer Letter and Prayer Requests are posted on the main CMAlliance.com website. Here is a part of their letter below: 

Thanksgiving Message from your DS

We're entering into a wonderful season of the year, the season of Thanksgiving. And I was reminded as I was preparing for this talk to you today that the scriptures tell us,

"In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thess 5:18)

You see, that's where our Thanksgiving belongs. That's where our Thanksgiving is rooted. It's in Christ Jesus. And it's concerning you. It's concerning your friends. It's concerning people who are not yet followers of Jesus Christ. It's concerning the people in your church. It's concerning the people of our world, where our IWs are seeking to reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ.

And so I want to express my thanks to you as members of the CPD family.

It is a pleasure and a privilege to introduce the Chapman Family.  They are our CPD International Workers with CAMA Services, the relief and development arm of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. They will be serving in Guinea, West Africa, with the Guinea Agro-Pastoral (GAP) Project.

“Their vision is to see rural Guinea farmers trained so that they can be more productive farmers who are able to use local resources to help themselves and their communities. In addition to becoming more productive farmers, they can also have opportunities to meet Jesus Christ -- the one who can give TRUE fullness of life and peace!”

Isn’t that encouraging to read? CPD family, I encourage to love, support, and pray for Timothy, Jessica, Elliot, and the new baby! They are one of us fulfilling the Great Commission.

Enjoy the Chapman Family's video as they seek prayer and financial support for their adventure. 

You're invited to a free online church planting training on November 7th.

Hi there, CPD Pastors! It's a delight to be able to talk to you just for a moment. This is October and the Pastor Appreciation month. And I want to express to you my sincere and deep appreciation for your leadership.

These have been extraordinary days. These days of COVID-19 and all of the other things that we've faced, including fires. You've been faithful, you've been diligent and you have done your work to the glory of God. And I'm so grateful for that.

Hi CPD Family,

Please take two minutes to watch my video about an upcoming change in my ministry. I will be stepping down from my job at the District and this video explains why. This has been a hard decision for me, because I love serving you all. But, as you will see, I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life!

Blessings,

Mike

August Message from your DS

During these days when things are not what they should be and maybe not what you would like them to be and certainly not what they've been, my encouragement to you lay leaders and pastors and CPD family, is to use this again as an opportunity to know Christ.

Let's focus on the Christ who came and the Christ who will come again, the Christ, who is our holiness, who is our sanctifier.

Let's increasingly get to know Him.

It's in Him that we live and move and have our being. This is our opportunity during these days. This is our privilege during these days.

I am happy to highlight two of our recent workers in my blog this month. Paige Reddick Morris was ordained the Sunday after Encounter in Hawaii this year. Hou Lei was ordained on June 27th complete with the proper COVID protections.

I asked each of them to share a short biography so we all could get to know them better. So proud of the accomplishments of these members of the CPD family!

Blessings,
Mike Mitchum
