Foreign Missions Leadership
Making Disciples of All Nations
Purpose of the Foreign Missions Leadership Team
CBC Foreign Missions Leadership Team exists to help the church fulfill the Great Commission by “making disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:18-20).
Vision Statement
CBC Foreign Missions Leadership Team desires for Cornerstone to be transformed through connection with foreign missions into a body that is focused on making disciples around the globe.
What does the Foreign Missions Leadership Team do?
CBC Foreign Missions Leadership Team goals are to encourage the people of Cornerstone to engage in missions activities and encourages those we send out. This is accomplished through multiple opportunities including: taking a short-term trip, attending a missions function, and praying for and/or financially supporting a missionary or a short-term team. It is through these opportunities that a heart for the call of lifetime missions service may be born, and that we work as a complete body to further the gospel.

Don and Amy help train national leaders in Kenya and neighboring countries.
What began with four people in Kenya has grown to be a team of 120 national missionaries/staff with
ELI who are reaching their own people in ways and numbers we never dreamed possible across
Kenya and into 7 surrounding countries. Government leaders in more than one county in Kenya have
approached ELI with a request to bring training to their village chiefs, staff, and to partner the ELI
programs of transformation in every village across the county (That is over one half million people!).
They are calling it “The ELI Way” because the approach is so unique to them. Here’s a cool fact: Don
is the Founder of ELI.
