We will discuss the origins of CCV as well as a few of the significant events that have taken place along the way to bring CCV to one of the greatest churches in the United States. However, the most important aspect of this discussion will be how God used one man, along with a few other men and families, had the faith and made the sacrifices necessary to lead us to where we are now.

My experience in the early years of CCV is discussed in an interview with Mark Moore, who serves as the teaching pastor at CCV. We will discuss the origins of CCV as well as a few of the significant events that have taken place along the way to bring CCV to one of the greatest churches in the United States. However, the most important aspect of this discussion will be how God used one man, along with a few other men and families, had the faith and made the sacrifices necessary to lead us to where we are now. It has been an adventure from the beginning and will continue to be one as long as we continue to give all of the credit to God, who has used us to carry out his plan.<br/><br/>LINKS<br/><br/>Website:   <br/><br/>Christ’s Church of the Valley:<a href='https://ccv.church/dashboard'> https://ccv.church/</a><br/><br/>CCV Missions: <a href='https://ccv.church/ministries/missions'> www.ccv.church/missions</a><br/><br/>Let’s Go 360:  <a href='https://letsgo360.org/'>https://www.letsgo360.org/</a><br/><br/>Pastor Larrie Fraley:<a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032/'> linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032</a><br/><br/>Email: missions@ccv.church </p>]]></content:encoded>

It is beyond reasonable doubt that Jesus and his followers traveled across the same ground, and it is quite probable that we will travel in the same areas as they did. We started our trek at Nazareth and made our way up to the north coast of the Sea of Galilee. Along the way, we stayed in a variety of hotels, the most of which were in the style of bed-and-breakfasts.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, I&apos;m having a conversation with D.J. Bosler, a phenomenally creative leader who obeyed God and now runs one of the world&apos;s most rapidly expanding children&apos;s discipleship ministries. His GAMELIFE ministry offers churches a fun and exciting approach to educate kids about God&apos;s Truth and encourage them to apply it to their lives. GameLife gives kids the opportunity to apply biblical principles while engaging with God&apos;s Word through meaningful interactive games.</p><p> </p><p>Every second of GameLife&apos;s Midweek Ministry is dedicated to involving kids in worthwhile activities that vividly illustrate the Bible. The One Main Truth of a passage is understood by students through in-depth discipleship training, which includes both reading Bible stories and discovery-based learning.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I&apos;m having a conversation with D.J. Bosler, a phenomenally creative leader who obeyed God and now runs one of the world&apos;s most rapidly expanding children&apos;s discipleship ministries. His GAMELIFE ministry offers churches a fun and exciting approach to educate kids about God&apos;s Truth and encourage them to apply it to their lives. GameLife gives kids the opportunity to apply biblical principles while engaging with God&apos;s Word through meaningful interactive games.</p><p> </p><p>Every second of GameLife&apos;s Midweek Ministry is dedicated to involving kids in worthwhile activities that vividly illustrate the Bible. The One Main Truth of a passage is understood by students through in-depth discipleship training, which includes both reading Bible stories and discovery-based learning. GameLife equips leaders with the child-focused educational strategies they need to share God&apos;s Truth with children. In GameLife training sessions, leaders of all ages have fun and learn alongside the students. The only prerequisite for volunteering is a small amount of time and no prior knowledge of the Bible; all that is needed is a desire to submit to Jesus as he works through each volunteer.<br/><br/><br/>LINKS </p><p><b>Website:   <br/></b><a href='https://www.gamelife77.com/'>gamelife77.com</a><br/><a href='https://gamelife123.com/'>gamelife123.com</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>Books:<br/></b><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Family-Devotional-Testament-DJ-Bosler/dp/1533427445'>Family Devotional - Old Testament</a><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Coachs-Training-Guide-Old-Testament/dp/1533312257/ref=sr_1_14?crid=25GVQSULRZLU1&amp;keywords=dj+bosler&amp;qid=1677624076&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=dj+bosler%2Cstripbooks%2C196&amp;sr=1-14'>Coach&apos;s Training Guide - Old Testament</a><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Family-Devotional-Christ-Megan-Beck/dp/1533564574/ref=sr_1_5?crid=25GVQSULRZLU1&amp;keywords=dj+bosler&amp;qid=1677624261&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=dj+bosler%2Cstripbooks%2C196&amp;sr=1-5'>Family Devotional - Life of Christ</a><br/><a href='https://imusic.co/books/9781533368454/dj-bosler-2016-coach-s-training-guide-life-of-christ-paperback-book'>Coach&apos;s Training Guide - Life of Christ</a><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Bible-Teaching-Basics-Passion-Students-ebook/dp/B00HKSLRLG'><br/>Bible Teaching Basics : Ignite a Passion for God&apos;s Word in the Heart of Your Students (Kindle Edition)<b><br/></b></a><br/><br/><b>Christ’s Church of the Valley</b>: <a href='https://ccv.church/'>https://ccv.church/</a><br/><b>CCV Missions:  </b><a href='http://www.ccv.church/missions'>www.ccv.church/missions</a>  <br/><b>Let’s Go 360:  </b><a href='https://www.letsgo360.org/'>https://www.letsgo360.org/</a><br/><b>Pastor Larrie Fraley</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032'>linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032</a> <br/><b>Email</b>: <a href='mailto:missions@ccv.church'>missions@ccv.church</a> </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/><br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[In this episode, I will be talking with two of the Youth Pastors here at CCV to get their perspective on students on mission trips.    Sending high school kids on mission trips is a great idea for several reasons.

Parental concerns like, &quot;Why are you wishing to send students overseas when there is so much work to be done here?&quot; are common for me as a missions pastor to hear. Even when we travel within the United States, I am frequently asked this question.<br/><br/>While it&apos;s true that we have plenty to accomplish at home, high school students should nonetheless consider participating in mission trips abroad. Mission trips give the youth of the church I serve the opportunity to learn that God can use them to spread his name, and I find it to be a really rewarding experience. We believe that sending out missionaries is a vital element of our plan to see those far from God become devout disciples of Jesus Christ.<br/><br/>Every short-term group should go into the trip with the mindset of a student, ready to learn from the experiences of the long-term missionaries and eager to assist them in any way they can. Primarily, short-term travel affords the chance to spread the gospel to far-flung regions of the world.<br/><br/><b>LINKS </b></p><p><b>Website: </b><a href='https://www.ccv.church/students'><b>https://www.ccv.church/students</b></a></p><p><b>Facebook:</b> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/CCV-Students'><b>https://www.facebook.com/CCV-Students</b></a></p><p><b>Instagram:  </b><a href='https://www.facebook.com/CCV-Students'><b>@ccv_students</b></a></p><p><b> </b> </p><p><b>Christ’s Church of the Valley</b>: <a href='https://ccv.church/'>https://ccv.church/</a> </p><p><b>CCV Missions:  </b><a href='http://www.ccv.church/missions'><b>www.ccv.church/missions</b></a>  </p><p><b>Let’s Go 360:  </b><a href='https://www.letsgo360.org'><b>https://www.letsgo360.org</b></a></p><p><b>Pastor Larrie Fraley</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032'>linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032</a> </p><p><b>Email</b>: <a href='mailto:missions@ccv.church'>missions@ccv.church</a> </p><p> </p><p><br/><br/></p>]]></description>

I met Dermot many years ago when he came to CCV just looking to learn how to start a church. He came on board CCV&apos;s sports ministry as an intern and his journey began. Now a successful Lead Pastor in his hometown, Limerick, Ireland. Dermot explains that his church is a group of people who believe life is an adventure. He talks about the church is not about mere religion or a specific denomination, but they are about introducing people to the adventure that a life with Christ can bring, and then challenging and encouraging them to live a life of significance. Dermot wants Elevate to be an Irish church that is known for its service to you and the city of Limerick and he does not want to be a church that talks the talk, but a church that serves people. And that is exactly what they are doing. Elevate is made up of dozens of volunteers, reaching people each week with the good news of Jesus.<br/><br/><b>LINKS </b></p><p><b>Website:  </b><a href='http://ecclimerick.com/'><b>http://ecclimerick.com/</b></a><b><br/>Facebook:</b> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/ElevateLimerick'><b>www.facebook.com/ElevateLimerick</b></a><b><br/>Instagram: </b><a href='https://www.instagram.com/elevate_churchlimerick'><b>www.instagram.com/elevate_churchlimerick</b></a><b><br/></b><br/></p><p><b>Christ’s Church of the Valley</b>: <a href='https://ccv.church/'>https://ccv.church/</a><br/><b>CCV Missions:  </b><a href='http://www.ccv.church/missions'><b>www.ccv.church/missions</b></a>  </p><p><b>Pastor Larrie Fraley</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032'>linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032</a> <br/><b>Email</b>: <a href='mailto:missions@ccv.church'>missions@ccv.church</a> </p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><br/>Micah 6:8 says, <em>“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD </em><b><em>require</em></b><em> of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”  <br/><br/></em>I serve on StreelightUSA&apos;s board where Hannah Burkle is the Executive Director at StreetLightUSA. In 2011 Hannah joined the anti-trafficking movement and worked for Rapha International speaking and bringing awareness to human trafficking nationally and internationally. She moved to Cambodia in 2013 and lived internationally for seven years as the Country Director for Rapha International. In her position, she oversaw two aftercare programs, two prevention centers, one special needs house, and one transitional home. Hannah believes ministry is a way of life, meant to be lived in service to Christ Jesus. Hannah is passionate about empowering leaders, staff, and the community at large, to “be a voice for the voiceless” through awareness, outreach, support, and advocacy opportunities. Her goal is to enrich the lives of each child God places in StreetlightUSA’s care, by helping each one find their voice, purpose, love, acceptance, and hope in Christ. Hannah will continue to build and maintain partnerships with churches, mental health and wellness centers, medical providers, government agencies, law enforcement, pastors, business owners, supporters, NGO’s, and donors. It is Hannah’s prayer that she and StreetlightUSA be a beacon of hope and unity in the valley and around the world for change by breaking the cycle of abuse as they walk alongside each child God has entrusted to them through their journey of healing. </p><p> <b>LINKS</b></p><p> </p><p><b>Website: </b><a href='https://www.streetlightusa.org/'><b>https://www.streetlightusa.org/</b></a></p><p><b>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StreetLightUSA</b></p><p><b>Instagram:  @streetlightusacares</b></p><p><b>Christ’s Church of the Valley</b>: <a href='https://ccv.church/'><b>https://ccv.church/</b></a></p><p><b>CCV Missions:  </b><a href='http://www.ccv.church/missions'><b>www.ccv.church/missions</b></a> </p><p><b>Pastor Larrie Fraley</b>:<b> </b><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032'><b>linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032</b></a></p><p><b>Email</b>: <a href='mailto:missions@ccv.church'><b>missions@ccv.church</b></a></p>]]></description>

Because most Team Expansion workers raise support for all that they do for the Lord and for the organization, Doug depends completely on faithful partners directly supporting his work with Team Expansion. </p><p>Without your prayers, gifts, and partnership, Doug would have no resources to lead the organization forward into new lands. </p><p>Thank you Doug for your vision and shared partnership.
