For more than six years, Craig Church Ministries, Inc. has taken “Truth to the World.” CCM’s reach and the ministry, itself, has consistently grown with each passing year. For this, we are humbled and eternally grateful to our Lord and to all of our partners who the Lord has used to take the Gospel to the world. We could not do it without you and are, truly, reliant on your prayers, support, and trust.

You will find, in the following pages, a detailed report of all the Lord has done in 2013 and a vision of where He is leading CCM, in 2014. There has never been a time in ministry in which we have been more excited, more expectant, and experiencing more power in preaching the Gospel, than now!

We have purposed in our hearts, with the Lord’s help, to get the Gospel to as many people as possible and through all available avenues, until He comes. The time is now! I want to thank you, in advance, for partnering with us for such a time as this, as we seek to make an even greater difference, for the cause of our Lord, Jesus Christ!

Until He comes,

Evangelist Craig ChurchFounder/Executive Director

“...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

- 2 Corinthians 6:2

Our goal is to preach the Gospel to as many people as possible and through all available avenues, until Jesus comes.

“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.”

- 1 Corinthians 2:17

In summary, CCM’s impact and reach has been greater than ever in 2013. We were able to take “Truth” into places we never imagined and through opportunities the Lord has given. The preaching of the Gospel has been from the French Quarters in New Orleans, the Crack Land in Sao Paulo, Brazil, churches, prisons, the internet, softball fields and almost everywhere in- between. With the launch of CCM’s multi-media ministry and the foundation the Lord has laid, the potential is limitless in taking the hope of Jesus Christ, to the world.

I have experienced the power of God and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the preaching of the Gospel, like never before. We are seeing a great harvest as we take “Truth” into the highway and the hedges. However, the best is yet to come.

Thank you for investing in souls for the Kingdom. The year of 2013 has been a great year and we give God all the glory. Great things He has done! We step into 2014 with great expectation and a passion to get the Gospel to more people, than ever before, for the glory of our great God and King.

In 2013, CCM started the process of obtaining our ECFA (Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability). We have obtained our two required endorsement letters from Samaritan’s Purse Ministries and Trans World Radio Ministry. We are in the process of completing the required paperwork and compilation. Due to the high cost of the initial process and the annual cost of renewal, CCM is waiting on the Lord to provide the resources to sustain the ECFA. To complete the process, it is estimated that the cost will be $5,000 for the compilation, $500-$1000 in payment to the ECFA, and $4,000-$6,000 for yearly renewal. Meanwhile, CCM is accountable to our Board of Directors, as well as our accounting firm, Benson and Blevins. The following is a 2013 overview of CCM’s support:
