Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19
Our heart at CLife is simple: Bringing People to God & Bringing People Together! Although we are planted here in the New River Valley in Southwest Virginia, we serve a BIG God of a BIG world, and our desire to bring people to God and bring people together extends outside of just our immediate area! CLife is currently partnered with several different ministries locally and globally, and we invite YOU to partner with us to go BEYOND in our community and our world!
Beyond the walls of our church… LOCAL OUTREACH!

CLife en Español
We have a special place in our heart for the Hispanic community of our valley! We are excited to offer a weekly Sunday gathering (called CLife en Español!) every Sunday night at 7pm.

Beyond our borders… INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH!
Our God is a BIG God of a BIG world, and we want to share his love and message globally to make disciples of all nations. While we can’t be involved in every global opportunity, we feel that it is important to develop a few long-term partnerships that we can invest in for the long-haul to maximize impact.
EGYPT PROJECT
We are partnering with Pastors Hany & Diana Asaad, as they bring the Gospel to Egypt and establish the Foursquare Denomination there. Egypt is open to the Gospel, and therefore a strategic place to raise up others who will expand that reach into other parts of North Africa and throughout the Middle East.
Currently, Pastors Hany & Diana are working with 13 churches in Egypt to bring them together in partnership under the Foursquare Denomination. Through taking several short-term trips each year, there are opportunities for Women’s Ministry, Kids Ministry, Inner-healing Youth Conferences, one-on-one Counseling Sessions, and Leadership Development and Training, which will all strengthen the local churches there and assist with planting new churches.

Currently, we are partnering with the Asaad's in Egypt by:
*Monthly sponsorship
*Sending people on the next trip to Egypt in March 2025
*Committed prayer before each short-term trip and celebrations after each short-term trip
*Hosting Pastor Hany & Pastor Diana to preach at CLife periodically and taking a love offering.
Dreams of what we'd like to do:
*Increase monthly sponsorship
*Send 1-2 more people on the March 2025 trip
*Have 3-6 people ready to go for the following trip later in 2025

ECUADOR
We are partnering with Kids Around the World to reach out to local communities in Portoviejo, Ecuador. Kids Around the World sponsors multiple “Hope Zones” in various communities in Portoviejo where kids are engaged with a weekly StoryClub to teach them the Bible. Through the relationships built with the StoryClub, they gain the opportunity to meet physical needs through providing meals. Also, the goal in each Hope Zone is to build a playground that serves as a place for the community to gather together.
At CLife, we have adopted a specific Hope Zone in Portoviejo called “Jaboncillo”. Jaboncillo is a community with over 300 kids, where the primary work sources are street vendors and laundry services provided by the women of the community. It is an impoverished community filled with people that God loves and knows by name! There is currently a weekly Bible Club in Jaboncillo with around 55 children and 16 moms currently meeting.
