Carol Anderson

MISSIONARIES IN THE UNITED STATES

Having served since the inception of MACC with her husband through the National Prayer Breakfast, mentoring leaders in other nations and mentoring young people through the C. S. Lewis Institute of Annapolis, the Lord has now given her a different ministry. Though she stays involved with both those groups, she is now living at Ginger Cove, a senior living community in Annapolis, where she leads the Women’s Bible Study. She also mentors several young women in the principles of Jesus and leads a women’s life group at MACC. She serves as a small group leader and teacher for the Women’s Bible Study at MACC. She also facilitates a women’s accountability group once a week. Six days a week she emails over 100 people with a verse with my understanding of that particular scripture.

Dan & Alma Elliot

MISSIONARIES IN ALBANIA

Dan and Alma started sharing Christ with Albanians in 1993, just after the fall of communism. From the beginning, their vision was to raise up Albanian believers who would take the Gospel not only to their country, but also to the surrounding nations. Since then, they have helped lead the development of a thriving Albanian ministry that now includes six campus ministries, two high school ministries, a growing church-planting ministry, an internet ministry and Albanian missionaries sent to Kosovo, Turkey, Macedonia, Hungary and Bosnia. Today, Alma oversees an outreach to teachers in Albania, and Dan is the regional director for the Balkan countries for CCC. To learn more about CRU go to cru.org

India Missionaries

India Ministry

The Missionaries’ goal in ministry is to take the message of the love of Jesus to those who have not yet heard it in India. They have found offering free medical and eye care, digging bore wells, holding Good Life clubs and reaching out during times of natural catastrophe are effective means of softening the hearts of the people to hear the Good News that Jesus died and rose again for their sins.

CRU IN ALBANIA

Kujtim has served the Lord with Cru in Albania since 2013. From 2018, he has led the team at the Shkodra Campus. Marjana joined Cru staff in 2017. They want to reach students, the future leaders of Albania, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their hope is that the students with changed lives would affect their colleges, their families, their villages, cities and the whole Albanian society and nation for Christ. They want to see their fellow Albanians reaching other nations for Jesus. A verse that encourages them is Psalm 23:1–3, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
