Change For Change "Change for Change" is a monthly program designed to provide assistance to our missionaries during critical times and to fund projects aimed at enhancing the worldwide spread of the gospel. April Change for Change Eric and Rachel McEachron - Operation Mobilization Eric and Rachel serve with Operation Mobilization (OM), focusing on the billions of least-reached people around the world. They believe God is raising up a new wave of missionaries —ordinary believers in all professions—who will take their jobs to places where Jesus is not yet known. Eric’s role with OM is to share this vision with university students and introduce them to a work-as-mission lifestyle through professional internships. With five children, reliable transportation is essential for the McEachrons, but living on monthly support makes it difficult to cover large, unexpected expenses. April’s Change for Change offering will help them purchase a much-needed vehicle, easing their financial burden and enabling them to continue their ministry effectively. As you pray for Eric and Rachel, praise God for their ongoing work in missionary development. Pray for more internship opportunities, equipping more people to serve in least-reached areas. If you'd like to give, you can donate online by using the link below. You can make a Difference. We invite you to partner with us in standing by our missionaries and demonstrating our unwavering support through this donation opportunity. DONATE NOW! 2024 CHANGE for CHANGE Through your generous missions giving, we accomplished so much this year! We helped fund a camp for orphans and widows in Ukraine, provided a new washer for the Barkers, supported ministry-related travel expenses for many of our missionaries and trusted partners, and blessed each of our missionaries with an end-of-year bonus. These are just a few ways GCC has been a part of God's global work in 2024. Thank you for your prayers and support. We look forward with excitement to all He will do in 2025!

Ron and Mary Bennett Serving with The Navigators Phone: 719-598-1212 Website: navigators.org Address: The Navigators 3820N 30th Colorado Springs, CO 80934 Birthday: Ron: September 23 Mary: March 7 Mission Focus The Navigator Calling is to advance the gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among the lost. Navigator motto: Know Christ and make Him known Our personal mission statement is to develop and coach disciples who make disciples. Our greatest blessing is to see generations of disciples living as ambassadors in their world. The challenge is finding and developing disciples who are willing and able to pass on their lives to a new generation. Ron mentors and shepherds a network of disciplemakers and disciplemaking leaders across the country. Many of the men lead disciplemaking ministries of their own. He also speaks at men’s retreats. Testimony Ron's Testimony I came to faith in Christ through the influence of my church and parents. I was discipled and mentored while studying at Iowa State University in the 1960s. I learned how to walk with Christ and share Him with others. I became infected with the vision of the Great Commission carried out by ordinary people in the marketplace. In 1970, I was invited to join Navigators and develop disciple-making ministries among university students. That was the beginning of over 50 years with Navigators in various leadership roles focused on our calling. Mary's Testimony I was raised in a solid Christian church and home. But in high school, I finally understood the gospel and put my faith in Christ. As a student at Western Michigan University, I became involved with Navigators and was mentored to follow Christ wholeheartedly. I also caught the vision of making disciples who would make disciples. After marriage, I continued to disciple women alongside Ron and his ministry. Previous Jabe & Elena Barker Philippine Schools Next Scott & Jayne Cuidon Global Missionary Counseling

Remember— no magic, no tricks— just effort and desire.” Dan is also an accomplished landscape architect and urban planner (degreed from Kansas State University) and is a founding partner in a microbrewery in Wentzville, MO.

Steve & Nancy Huerd Cru Phone: 651-592-6576 Website: www.give.cru.org/0392804 Address: 4806 Lakes Edge Lane Kissimmee, FL 34744 Birthday: Steve: September 25 Nancy: January 31 Mission Focus One of the greatest challenges of being a missionary is trusting God to provide all your financial needs. Steve devotes most of his time to leading this critical area in coaching our new and senior staff to ensure they are fully funded and financially faithful. He is also very involved in the HR side of ministry, helping shepherd and develop our staff to their fullest potential. A blessing is being able to send full-time workers to locations nationally and abroad that we will never be able to visit or see. Nancy's mission focus: Cru High School summer assignment coordinator, application evaluator, staff care and assisting where needed. All are opportunities to be used by God to bless, serve and assist our High School staff in helping to reach teenagers with the gospel, but they also can be challenging in hard situations. Testimony Steve's Testimony Growing up in Minnesota, I did not attend church and was sincerely searching for the truth. During my sophomore year in high school, I became a Christ follower as the result of a large outreach presented by Student Venture (Cru’s High School Ministry). I became a student leader in this movement, reaching many of my peers with the gospel. Because God had changed my life so much, instinctively, I knew God had called me to join Cru even before graduating from high school. Nancy's Testimony I grew up going to church. In second grade, I told our pastor I wanted to become a Christian and be baptized. My real motivation was because my best friend had done it and I wanted to be like her. However, something was always missing, so I put much effort into excelling in grades, sports, being a good person and thought this would please God. However, as a junior in high school we lost the state basketball championship and God used that to humble me and see my need for Him. The next day I went forward at my church saying I wanted to rededicate my life to God, but this is really when I became a Christian. Later as an adult while attending Grace Community Chapel, I realized I needed to get baptized as a true believer in the Lord. I was baptized by Pastor Miller.
