CBC Missions
Cheyenne Berean is committed to missions. It is our desire to use our missions gifting wisely so that the Good News of Jesus Christ is spread around the world. For us missions is reaching as far with the gospel as the Lord allows us. Both our neighborhoods and the farthest reaches of the world are the objects of our missionary concern.
 

India a Missions Focus
CBC continues to be in heavily involved in 300-in-3; the goal of recruiting, training and sending 300 Indian church planters throughout India in three years was reached. Currently there are over 300 church planters and hundreds of new homes churches all over India. There is still a heavy financial and prayer commitment required for the ongoing training and establishment of this exciting new work of God.

Adopt a Missionary
Have you ever thought of adopting a missionary into your focus group or even your family? Is your Christmas and other holidays shared with a missionary family? Adopting a missionary is easy. You ask God for the wisdom needed to make the choice. You might want to consider things such as the area of the world, the missions ministry, and the ages of the children. After you have made your decision, find out such important family facts as anniversaries, birthdays, clothing sizes, reading preferences, etc. Then treat them as part of your family throughout the year in your gift giving, prayers, correspondence, etc. But please! Do this as a service to the Lord and don’t impose unrealistic expectations upon your adopted missionary. This should be an act of grace that demands nothing in return.
 

Make Their Day
Want to make their day? Try writing them a letter.  What do you write about? Try writing about your family and friends. Describe what’s happening in the various areas of your lives: spiritual, physical, social, vocational, etc. Don’t forget to put in news about Cheyenne, and the world around you. Another good subject is your church. Be positive! What’s happening in the different ministries? Ask the missionary questions about their work, but don’t make your message all questions. Let the missionary know your prayer requests. Missionaries appreciate humor. Share a joke, enclose a page for Reader’s Digest, or relate a funny incident that happened to you. Send cards for special occasions. Include news clippings, church bulletins, or photographs in your letters.

Send a Shoe Box
What could you send your missionary in a small box? Slippers, stamps (for U.S.A. missionaries), Vitamin C, earrings, hair bows, paperback books , dish cloths, hand towels, pens, pencils, paper clips, post-it notes, thank you notes, magazines, Christian videos, music tapes, Kool-aid, Jell-O, pudding, chocolate chips, devotionals like Daily Bread, nice napkins, iron-on patches, Twix candy bars, quick mixes, concentrated juice, little toys, etc.
 

Short Term Missions
In recent years the Cheyenne Berean family have had several from the church go on short term mission trips to such diverse places as Indonesia, Germany, Uganda, Brazil, Alaska, Peru, India and Russia. More locally, others have spent the summer ministering with Child Evangelism Fellowship, Maranatha Bible Camp, and other mission endeavors.

Designated Giving to Missions
When you want to designate to a special missions project, or person it is your responsibility to clearly attach a notation to your gift. This can be done on a separate piece of paper, on your check, or on an offering envelope. Always clearly indicate your desire for your gift. Include specifics such as your name, the project name, the amount designated to the missionary project, the amount that is for your general giving, etc. Never assume that because you have given in a certain pattern that the office personnel can remember your habits. Every gift has to be clearly marked.
