CA’s World Outreach…
CA is involved with many ministries around the world. Please see below for more information on our efforts to help complete the Great Commission.
The People of Central Asia
In 1996, CA adopted a group of Central Asian people who were unreached with the Gospel. We dedicated ourselves to promoting the Christian faith within the nations where this group of people live.
When we began this relationship, there were very few followers of Christ. There are now thousands of believers and dozens of church networks. However, the persecution of Christians has been intense. Christians continue to face fines, 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 our Central Asian friends. Due to security concerns, we can’t provide much information on CA’s work. 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.
Germany
Pastor Jim & Clare McDonald
Walldorf, Germany
Two of our workers, 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 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 people in 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 our 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 work 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.
We provide finances, send teachers and CA members on short-term missions trips for evangelism, construction projects, and prayer. We also use Christian microfinance to help support individuals and communities. Occasionally we post links to new projects here. Please check back if you are interested in helping in this way.
In recent trips, instructors from CA have presented courses in conjunction with Grace College of Divinity to help train and equip Jamaican leaders. Our resident evangelist, Rev. Kevin Ross, travels to Jamaica often, leading thousands to Christ. CA also sent a team to help rebuild churches that had been damaged from floods and 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!
Ross Family Ministries
Kevin & Elaine Ross
P.O. Box 31292
Raleigh, NC 27622-1292
Kevin and Elaine Ross and their daughter Rebekah are members of CA but Ross Family Ministries reaches much farther than our local area. 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 children’s ministry, his family is 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.
CA supports the Ross family 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 came along 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.
