Global Mission Partners
As part of our vision to reach people and renew communities, Christ Church supports several partners around the world.
Sean and Sarah Smith
Sean and Sarah recently arrived in the Czech Republic with their young son after a 5 month delay due to Covid. Sarah is expecting her second baby by the end of the year. They are working with a local church to train young people for leadership roles in the church. Sean is also doing some theological teaching. They most recently attended Christ Church Highland Park.
Luis Palau Association
The Palau Association is an evangelistic organization that holds festivals and other meetings all over the world with the purpose of many coming to Christ. Luis Palau has had cancer for a couple of years now, however, he has three sons and many others that are faithfully carrying on the ministry.
Chris and Kathy Gouzoules
Chris and Kathy are currently living in Illinois. Their ministry is in Mexico, however, they had to return home several years ago due to safety concerns. They work in an area in central Mexico known as the “Circle of Silence” – an area with little Christian witness and few churches. Chris travels regularly to Mexico and does training for local leaders via Zoom.
