MISSIONARIES & AGENCIES

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.

Rick Elder

PASTOR & MISSIONARY

Rick Elder is pastoring a small church in Louisiana and ministering to professional athletes with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

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.

Jon Evans

GOOD NEWS JAIL & PRISON MINISTRY

Jon joined Good News Jail & Prison Ministry as the third president in the 58-year history of the organization in September 2013. Previously, he served as a volunteer in Anne Arundel County (MD) jails and as part of the Chaplain Support Team since 2001. He joined the Good News Board of Directors in 2005 and served as the Secretary as well as a member of the Membership, Executive and Governance Committees.

Good News is the largest organization of its kind placing Christian chaplains in jails and prisons around the world. Currently Good News has 80 chaplains in the U.S. and 335 abroad. Good News chaplains serve 300,000 incarcerated men, women and youth daily in 22 states and 25 countries worldwide. Their chaplains share the love of Christ to these inmates and staff, while facilitating the ministry of thousands of volunteers. In many foreign prison systems, inmates are not fed, clothed or provided medical care by the government. All of these essentials must be supplied through family or others on the outside. Good News international chaplains step in the gap, often serving as the “humanitarian” providers and the spiritual lifelines for inmates. 

Sam & Becca Gunti

GOOD LIFE MINISTRIES

The Guntis’ 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.

Andrew & Holly Haas

TWR MOTION

Holly began working with Trans World Radio (TWR) in 1997. That same year Andrew joined Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) to travel for the Jesus Film Project. Nine years later they met at a West African partnership training. Andrew proposed to Holly, moved to Johannesburg and joined TWR after they married in 2008. Serving together in Africa for nine years, God next called them to a new video team based at TWR headquarters in North Carolina. They serve unreached people groups by delivering the Gospel electronically. As bible-less tribes gain smartphone internet access, short Bible story films can facilitate discipleship and church planting via social media.

Kujtim & Marjana Haxhia

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. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.”
