New mission starts are finding support from familiar faces. Traveling to Cabanas, the desolation and poverty are evident on the outskirts of the city. With a heart for mission, former CCCS student Cipriano Mendez Bustamante accepted the call as principal in this village outside Zacapa. A family from his public school approached Cipriano and asked for help in starting a house church. Ciprioano requested mentoring and assistance from two fellow CCCS graduates, Carlos Figueroa (Director of the CCCS Home for Students in Zacapa) and Pastor Luis Jasinto of Gulan. Regular services and Bible school programs now highlight the home church’s programs. Carlos notes, “We are praying our Lord God opens the windows of heaven so CCCS can support many nations in education and spiritual growth from the Word of God so His word will not return void but bring life to many adolescent children.”
