"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever", "who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil", "and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with various diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were insane, and those which were paralyzed, and He healed them all". "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God". "Great is our Lord, and of great power". (Heb. 13:8, Acts 10:38, Matt. 4:24, Luke 18:27, Psalms 147:5)

What can you do to help? Sincerely pray for us and all who are endeavoring to minister hope to these hurting people, communicate with us, educate yourself and others concerning mental illness, and get involved.

We are hoping for many Churches and Christian organizations to catch the vision of CCC and establish such places of refuge all over the nation because the need is so great.

There will be many opportunities for members of local Churches to get involved in such a ministry. Much can be done through volunteers. There will be opportunities for volunteers to teach outdoor skills, and to set up classes (1-2 hrs per wk or month) at local CCC farm's to teach their skills (arts and crafts, etc) in a fun and encouraging way. We hope also to create things that will enable the members of CCC to bless the Churches and surrounding community (choir, plays, etc). This is a wonderful way to minister to the emotionally and mentally hurting and allow them, in turn, to know they also are being a blessing to others instead of feeling they are a burden to society.

In the CCC vision, opportunities are plentiful for many volunteers, both professionals and non-professionals.

With the establishment of places like CCC we can pick up the man on the Jericho road and have an "inn" to which we can take him for restoration.
