CCC 27-2_LR

FROM THE PRESIDENT

f community, your participation matters. Together, we can extend the reach of Christian care, offering a safe and unique place for help and hope to individuals and families who need it most. Every day, we hear from churches and individuals searching for nearby Christian mental healthcare, and they are counting on someone like you to step in and help. With this increasing demand for biblically-based resources and care, CCC offers providers a way to grow their practices and ministries while serving others meaningfully. A Vision for the Future For our team, the launch of Christian Care Connect is more than just a new horizon of helping stem the tide of today’s mental health disaster—it is the realization of a dream and the beginning of a new chapter to make Christian mental healthcare more accessible than ever before. My hope is that CCC will become a trusted resource for Christians everywhere, helping them find the support they need when they need it most. And as we dream for the future, let’s not limit what God can do through this platform. Let’s imagine a world where CCC becomes a central hub for any type of care—men tal health, coaching, medical, and beyond that meets people at their point of need and points them to the ulti mate source of hope and healing, Jesus Christ. In the words of Ephesians 3:20 (NIV), God can do “… immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Together, we can step into this calling and make a massive difference in the lives of those seeking help and hope. ;
