Missions
CA’s World Outreach…
CA is involved with many missions and ministries around the world. Please see below for more information on our efforts to help complete the Great Commission.
The Turkmen
In 1996, CA adopted the Turkmen as a people who were unreached with the Gospel. We dedicated ourselves to promoting the Christian faith within Turkmenistan and other nations where the Turkmen live.
When we began this relationship, there were very few followers of Christ in Turkmenistan. There are now thousands of believers and dozens of churches. However, the persecution of Christians has been intense. Christians continue to face the loss of jobs, homes, imprisonment and torture simply for believing in Jesus Christ. Yet the church continues to grow.
Over the course of time we have found many ways to help the Turkmen people. Due to security concerns, we can’t provide much information on CA’s work with the Turkmen. But it is safe to say that we are involved in providing training, help, support, and encouragement to our persecuted brothers and sisters to foster the growth of the church in these closed nations.
One of the ways that you can help is by providing donations and loans to help believers start and operate their own small businesses so that they can provide for their family and for the churches. Click on the link below to get more information on how you can help.
We believe that one day, the world will know that Jesus is the Lord of the Turkmen.

Germany
Pastor Jim & Clare McDonald
Walldorf, Germany
Two of our missionaries, Jim and Clare McDonald, live in the Frankfurt, Germany area. For several years Jim was the Pastor of Centro Pentecostale, an international church made up of Germans, Italians, Americans, Iranians, and believers from several other nations. He now uses Germany as a base and travels internationally to provide teaching and training in order to develop church leaders. This enables Jim to enter countries that are not easily accessible to someone from the United States.
Through the ministry of Jim & Clare we are helping to reach not only Germany, but many nations around the world.

Jamaica
Since 1997, CA has been working in Jamaica with the desire to see the island transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are now 12 Jamaican churches in the GCI family and CA has the opportunity to work with Jamaican pastors and leaders in a very personal way to extend the Kingdom of God and fulfill the vision that God gave us for Jamaica. Our folks are working with the leadership of the Jamaican churches to find ways to more effectively reach the island with the Gospel and to help these churches grow and prosper.
Our congregation provides finances, sends teachers and CA members on short-term missions trips for evangelism, construction projects, and prayer.
In recent trips, instructors from the CA School of Ministry (ChASM) have presented courses in conjunction with Grace College of Divinity to help train and equip Jamaican leaders. Our evangelist, Rev. Kevin Ross, travels to Jamaica often, leading thousands to Christ each year. CA also sent a team of workers to help rebuild churches that had been damaged in the previous year’s hurricanes. As each hurricane season approaches, we join our brothers and sisters in prayer that Jamaica will experience the protection and blessing of the Lord!

Kevin & Elaine Ross
P.O. Box 31292
Raleigh, NC 27622-1292
Kevin and Elaine Ross with daughter, Rebekah, are members of CA but Ross Family Ministries is much larger than just the local church. Whether Kevin is appearing as his alter-ego, Ervin D. Clown, starring in a Gospel-centered large illusion show, working as a child and adult evangelist, or as an instructor for evangelism and childrens ministry, he and his family are dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Working at churches and on the streets in the United States, Canada, Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Honduras, and Ethiopia, Kevin has led literally tens of thousands of people to salvation in Jesus Christ.
With a real gift not only as a successful evangelist but also one who inspires others to share their faith, Kevin and his family continue to advance the Kingdom of God. CA supports them and works with them to fulfill this calling from God. Elaine has worked with Kevin in her clown role as Rosebud, Ervin’s wife and as Kevin’s assistant in the illusion show. Since Rebekah was born, Elaine serves in more of an administrative role for the ministry. Their family is the basis for their ministry, and the reason for the work that the Lord has called them to do.
With an incredible testimony to the faithfulness and grace of God, the Ross family continues to inspire others to faith and service. They are CA’s missionaries to the world at large.
