From the President<br />
by Dr. Ron Oakes<br />
What leads a prospective student to select the<br />
one college to attend No doubt, many different<br />
areas attract students to a particular college. Sometimes<br />
it’s nothing more than convenience; the college is nearby<br />
or within driving distance of home. Sometimes it’s<br />
friendship, a close friend or relative attends or is going<br />
to attend. Sometimes it’s the campus, or the availability<br />
of obtaining jobs in the community. Other times, it’s the<br />
faculty who spoke at some event, or the degree program<br />
that aligns with personal goals.<br />
In a recent online survey at Central, students were asked the question, “<strong>Why</strong> did you choose<br />
THIS <strong>Bible</strong> college” The reasons were as diverse as you would expect. Nick chose CCCB<br />
because his dad used to take him hunting and he saw the green sign on the side of the highway<br />
right before the exit to get to the school. Rachel first discovered CCCB through a Facebook<br />
ad and after praying each day for a month on which college to choose, Central rose to the top.<br />
Central’s admission staff was “far more engaging and personable than most of the other college<br />
admissions staff.”<br />
Renda and her husband came because they trusted the endorsement of her older brother and<br />
sister-in-law and “knew it was the place for me.” Amanda originally had a different college in<br />
mind as the number one pick. She writes, “I know it was God leading me here because it definitely<br />
was not my first choice, but I could not be happier to have chosen to come here.” Jenna “chose Central<br />
because God made it clear it was the place He wanted me, for reasons that He is still making clear to<br />
me.” And James chose Central because of “God’s call to me of becoming a youth minister.”<br />
Others state the professors “really care about us” and Robert said they “demonstrated Christ-like<br />
love and belief that I as an individual could do something for God’s kingdom through Christ no matter<br />
what challenges are ahead of me.” However, 38% overall indicated that “affordability” was one<br />
factor that led them here. Rachel testifies that Central “provides education that I can afford. I<br />
have to pay for college on my own and…I have been able to pay for school without going into debt.”<br />
“The fact that CCCB provides a scholarship is…why my husband and I picked CCCB.” Another<br />
student states simply, “I chose this college because I wanted to get a <strong>Bible</strong> degree without racking up<br />
close to $20K in debt per year, which seems to be the average at almost every other <strong>Bible</strong> college.”<br />
And without the full-tuition scholarship, James said he would not “be able to study to be a youth<br />
minister.”<br />
Affordability is one clear factor in the initial selection. However, once they come, they return<br />
because of professors, who really care, the campus spiritual community in which they live, the<br />
quality of the practical instruction, and the opportunity to set holy habits to deepen a relationship<br />
with God for a lifetime. The Quantity of the Scholarship attracts, but the Quality of the<br />
experience keeps them here.<br />

<strong>Why</strong> <strong>We</strong> <strong>Chose</strong> a <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Rejected<br />
by Family...<br />
Accepted by<br />
Christ by Teguh Djaja<br />
I was born as a Buddhist in Indonesia, and my parents taught me to hate Christians...especially<br />
Jesus. I grew up hating Christians and Jesus without even knowing why. For the first fourteen years of my<br />
life, I hated Christians with a passion.<br />
When I was fifteen years old, my father, uncle, and I moved to Georgia in hopes that my family could<br />
make money while working in the United States. <strong>We</strong> ended up staying with an uncle, who lived in the<br />
United States. This uncle was a Christian and often took me to church. After a brief time in the United<br />
States, I moved back to Indonesia and felt that something was missing in my heart. I tried going to the<br />
Buddist Temple but kept feeling that I was missing something. I realized that the feeling was gone every<br />
time my uncle took me to church. I was able to attend a Christian small group while in Indonesia, and my<br />
parents didn’t have any idea that I was attending weekly.<br />
A while later my parents saved enough money to move to the United States. My mother and I moved to<br />
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I quickly got involved with a church. I felt convicted to be baptized so<br />
I could serve God wholeheartedly. I was baptized on November 19, 2005, and didn’t tell my parents. Not<br />
long afterward, they found out that I had given my life to Christ and kicked me out of their house and<br />
forced me to move to Moberly, Missouri, to live with my aunt.<br />
Though my aunt was a Buddhist, she was fairly tolerant to Christians and lived across the street from an<br />
elder at Timber Lake Christian Church, Ron Self. I began to get involved with Timber Lake and decided<br />
to attend CCCB to help me defend my faith and share the gospel with others. I shared my college decision<br />
with my parents, and they told me to never call them again. I prayed about the decision and felt that I<br />
needed to be at CCCB. I realized that living for God is everything, even though I lost my family. I still talk<br />
to my parents on occasion, but they always are trying to persuade me to stop learning about God and come<br />
back home. I don’t know where I would be today without the support of many in the Moberly community<br />
and God’s strength in these situations.<br />
Matthew 19:29 has been played out in my life: “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters<br />
or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit<br />
eternal life.” Though I have given up a lot, it has all been worth it for the sake of knowing God.<br />
I will be done with my classes in December and will graduate in May. With the end in sight, I am so<br />
thankful for all I have learned and this time I have had at Central. I am excited to find a full-time youth<br />
ministry so I can put what I have learned into practice.<br />
First off, we (family and church) were all praying for God’s will as Jarrett considered attending the Air<br />
Force Academy (AFA), serve God and country, and learn to fly. In October, 2011, Jarrett and I visited the campus<br />
and were set back when they told us that they could only accept about 700 students this year due to military cutbacks.<br />
They had over thirteen-thousand apply and over ten-thousand were qualified. <strong>We</strong> prayed.<br />
A Mother’s<br />
Prayer by Beth Pyles<br />
By February we had not heard anything from the AFA and Jarrett started to get scared. He decided he would just join<br />
the Marine Reserves because he knew they would take him. He was promised full college tuition and even his choice<br />
of military duties. Later that month, the recruiter picked him up for his “sign-up day.” During his medical evaluation<br />
he stated that he had allergies. Armed Forces would not let Jarrett sign up until he had his allergies evaluated. He<br />
came home frustrated but the Sgt. said he would work things out. Meanwhile, we prayed.<br />
About March 30th, we received a letter of appointment to the AFA. Oh, what joy! God had listened and this must<br />
be the reason Jarrett was stalled in signing up for the Marine Reserves. <strong>We</strong> gave God all the glory and were praising<br />
him. <strong>We</strong> prayed.<br />
In mid-May, we received a letter stating that DODMERB (The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review<br />
Board) wanted Jarrett to have a food evaluation for his nut allergies. <strong>We</strong> asked everyone at church to pray while Jarrett<br />
was taking this food challenge. The youth set up a period of 4 hrs of uninterrupted prayer. How awesome. Jarrett<br />
passed his pecan challenge that day, but the following week (just ten days before he was to leave for Colorado Springs)<br />
after eating a cumulative half of a walnut we were dismayed to learn that Jarrett has a life threatening reaction to<br />
walnuts. His anaphylaxis reaction required epinephrine and a steroid shot before we could come home. I prayed.<br />
Leaving the Dr.’s office Jarrett looked at me and said, “Mom, I feel like a failure. I have never failed anything before.” I told him that God was in control. He<br />
said, “I know, but why did we go through all of this (nearly 8 months of preparation) for this outcome” All I could tell him was that God has a better plan. He<br />
said, “I am not doubting that God is in this. I feel like I have let a lot of people down—my school, my church and my family.” I told him, “As long as you allow<br />
God to lead, you have not failed anyone or anything.” <strong>We</strong> prayed.<br />

Central’s Faculty Complete<br />
Additional Education<br />
By David Fincher, Vice President of Academics<br />
The faculty at Central was blessed recently to have two members that completed<br />
further education. In this article, we find out more about the experience of Professors<br />
Rory Christensen and Anne Menear during their graduate experience. Rory and<br />
Anne are two of our newer faculty members, having been hired within the last ten<br />
years. I asked them the following questions about their new degrees. Rory Christensen Anne Menear<br />
You have accomplished a major milestone of receiving an additional<br />
graduate degree. Tell us about the seminary you attended and the<br />
nature of the degree you earned.<br />
Christensen: I received a Doctor of Ministry degree, with a specialization<br />
in Church and Parachurch Leadership, from the seminary at Lincoln<br />
Christian University.<br />
Menear: My program is a Master of Education in Instructional Design<br />
from <strong>We</strong>stern Governors University in Utah. I began this program in<br />
March 2011. The degree consists of 31 competency units, culminating<br />
in a capstone project.<br />
Both of you have been teaching here for several years. How did<br />
teaching here prepare you for the work that was required in your<br />
newest degree<br />
Christensen: The interaction with my colleagues was the largest benefit<br />
to the academic portion of the degree. The conversations I had with the<br />
faculty of the college gave me a sounding board that assisted in ironing<br />
out my thoughts during the research portion of the degree.<br />
Menear: I moved from Virginia in 2005 to join the faculty here<br />
at Central . I have taught English Composition 1 and 2, as well as<br />
a few courses for students who were in need of extra writing skills<br />
upon entrance to the college (Basic <strong>College</strong> Skills and Basic Writing<br />
Skills). Three years ago I became involved with our tutoring program<br />
here at the college - with the help of Dr. Donaldson and the Honors<br />
Department, as well as the Registrar and the Academic Dean. <strong>We</strong><br />
designed a tutoring program designed to address several needs - to<br />
help students who were coming into the college as freshman who had<br />
struggled in English and/or writing prior to attending CCCB (academic<br />
alert students). <strong>We</strong> also formulated a plan to help students who are on<br />
academic warning at the college, designing Academic Recovery Plans<br />
(ARPs) and assigning tutors to them. <strong>We</strong> provide tutors voluntarily.<br />
The Learning Lab is available from 6pm -10pm in the library. Working<br />
with these students and with this program more than prepared me in<br />
the practicality of my chosen degree.<br />
How did the resources at Central (i.e. library, funding, flexibility, etc.)<br />
help you with your further studies<br />
Christensen: Central assisted in the various phases of the program:<br />
it provided funding that assisted in getting started and continuing the<br />
program; Dr. Fincher allowed me to progress through the program by<br />
allowing me to tailor my teaching schedule to fit that of the program<br />
when it was needed; Patty Agee and the library staff were also helpful in<br />
providing the resources needed for the writing portion of the program.<br />
Menear: The college helped me out by paying for some early classes. I<br />
was also able to use a payroll deduction to make it easier to budget my<br />
graduate payments. The college has been very flexible in allowing me to<br />
finish my degree over the course of the past seven years while I fulfilled<br />
my other duties at the college. The administrators have been patient<br />
with me throughout the process of earning my degree.<br />
What did you write about for your final project in your degree<br />
Christensen: My final project focused on teaching ministry assimilation<br />
to my students. It measured the degree to which the students increased<br />
in their basic understanding of, and in their ability to apply information<br />
about making and maturing disciples of Christ.<br />
Menear: My capstone focused on the viability of a tutoring program on<br />
a college campus, using our Learning Lab as a model for these services<br />
for struggling students or students who could potentially struggle in the<br />
college setting.<br />
How do you expect your new degree to make you a better teacher at<br />
Central<br />
Christensen: It has shaped my understanding of biblical leadership and<br />
of the disciple-making process. It has also provided an opportunity<br />
to deepen my understanding of God’s design for growth on both an<br />
individual and a corporate level. The end result has been fresh insights<br />
for the classroom, and a more rounded approach to curriculum planning.<br />
Menear: It will validate my position and status as a faculty member. Even<br />
though I have 19 years of teaching experience, it never hurts to have a<br />
degree to hang on the wall. It represents a great deal of time, effort,<br />
energy and money spent on my field.<br />
What are one or two practical ideas that came from your degree that<br />
would be good for Central alumni and supporters to be aware of<br />
Christensen: God’s plan involves a diversity of gifts working together<br />
to carry out his mission. Such a body-life perspective should permeate<br />
everything we do, as we seek to discover each individual’s unique<br />
contribution to the ministry of the church and release him or her to<br />
serve. Ministry should never devolve into a “one-man band.”<br />
Also, there is a great need for churches to welcome outside,<br />
objective insight into their ministry. Oftentimes we can continue in<br />
dysfunctional practices out of habit, either not realizing that they are<br />
(or have become) ineffective, or that there is another path that we can/<br />
should take. Having someone come in from the outside and give you<br />
a different, objective perspective can oftentimes mean the difference<br />
between stagnation and fruition.<br />
Menear: The Learning Lab is a fairly successful program if it is<br />
utilized. <strong>We</strong> can offer the best services for our students, but we won’t<br />
always see students take advantage of those services. But overall, it is a<br />
well-designed program.<br />
The other thing I learned is that everything I am teaching about<br />
plagiarism is accurate. What our students learn in English Composition<br />
2 about research is much like what I learned from WGU. It helps<br />
validate that our educational practices are much the same as larger<br />
institutions.<br />
It is such a blessing to have Dr. Christensen and Professor Menear as part<br />
of our faculty. <strong>We</strong> look forward to seeing our students and school reaping<br />
the benefits of their further education. Stay tuned for future news of other<br />
faculty members who are nearing completion of additional degrees.<br />

Projects that will be completed as a result of<br />
the campaign:<br />
Double-pane windows for Lang & Spurling Halls are a much needed improvement.<br />
A vital component of Central’s transformational spiritual community is<br />
to provide a safe campus with comfortable housing for students.<br />
Refurbishing Lang & Spurling Halls with double-pane windows, modern<br />
heating and air conditioning, new doors and locks are all good stewardship of<br />
the resources God has provided. These will reduce ongoing operational costs<br />
with higher efficiency and greater student comfort.<br />
A new wood court for<br />
the Ferneau Center<br />
will help to protect our<br />
athletes from injury,<br />
and it will increase<br />
the appearance for all<br />
events.<br />
The Ferneau Center<br />
is home to Saints<br />
Basketball and Lady<br />
Saints Volleyball and<br />
Basketball. It is also<br />
used extensively for<br />
chapel, college and community events, and student recreation. New gym pads<br />
and paint have already brightened this facility.<br />
Other projects included in the Growing Our Legacy Campaign<br />
• Improved lighting in the residence halls and outdoors<br />
• New carpet in the bleachers and first floor of<br />
View the Video<br />
Pelfrey Hall<br />
• Campus security improvements<br />
• Locker room renovations & equipment storage<br />
• New stage curtains & video/sound equipment<br />
• Forty-two months of funding a portion of the fulltuition<br />

Annual Report<br />
Advancement Team Travel<br />
By Philip Marley<br />
Phil Marley, Barry Thornton, Alan Wilson, President Oakes, and other CCCB professors have traveled to tell others about our vision to<br />
become the preferred choice in Biblical higher education.<br />
Total giving for 2010-11 was $1,029,491 and for 2011-<br />
12 was $1,150,243. This increase of $120,752 was the<br />
result of an estate gift. But, the total number of donors<br />
decreased from 1352 to 1212, with the most significant<br />
drop in individuals. The sluggish American economy<br />
may still be contributing to this decrease in the number<br />
of donors. Central lost 119 individual donors and 19<br />
churches from the previous year in overall gifting.<br />
<strong>We</strong> have been blessed with new financial partners in new<br />
programs such as our Sports Boosters and Central Parents<br />
Association. As we further develop these, and similar<br />
gifting opportunities our number of donors is anticipated<br />
to rise.<br />

Ten-Year Trend: 2002-2012<br />
$500k estate gift<br />
Scholarships: $2,552,834<br />
Gifts: $1,048,193<br />
FY2011-2012<br />
Last fiscal year the total unrestricted income made up only 41.1% of<br />
the full-tuition scholarship. Though this shows progress in the right<br />
direction, this demonstrates the gap between the two, and it shows the<br />
urgent need to broaden the donor base and increase unrestricted annual<br />
giving. Increasing the donor base is essential to the future growth and<br />
development of Central.<br />
In the face of high costs at other Christian colleges, Central makes<br />
it possible to gain an excellent education without the burden of<br />
excessive student-loan debt.<br />

Academic Department Report<br />
By Dr. David Fincher<br />
Reflecting on the 2011-12 academic year at Central Christian <strong>College</strong><br />
of the <strong>Bible</strong> brings great satisfaction of our accomplishments<br />
and encouragement for the future of the institution. In this report, I<br />
will highlight many of the successes and future opportunities that we<br />
have developed for our students.<br />
Students and Graduates<br />
<strong>We</strong> enrolled 363 students during the academic year of 2011-12,<br />
slightly up from the 360 of 2010-11. This brings the total number<br />
of students who have been enrolled at Central to 4,136 in the first<br />
55 years.<br />
New Teachers<br />
During the Fall 2012 semester, we welcomed<br />
a few new teachers to the faculty at Central.<br />
Aaron <strong>We</strong>lch has joined the faculty as Professor<br />
of Christian Counseling. He is a graduate<br />
of Cincinnati Christian University and has<br />
worked as a licensed professional counselor<br />
and as a minister in the Orlando, Florida area.<br />
Professor <strong>We</strong>lch teaches courses such as Basic Aaron <strong>We</strong>lch<br />
Counseling Methods, Introduction to Psychology, and Practical Theology<br />
for Counselors.<br />
10<br />
<strong>We</strong> graduated 65 students throughout the academic year. This brings<br />
the total number of degrees received from the <strong>College</strong> to 1,306 in its<br />
first 55 years. In the 11 years we have graduated full-tuition scholarship<br />
students, we have given 717 degrees. In the 44 years prior to<br />
full-tuition scholarships being given, we only gave 589 degrees total.<br />
Years Degrees granted Average<br />
1957-2001 589 13.4 per year<br />
2001-2012 717 65.2 per year<br />
Total 1,306 23.7 per year<br />
Accreditation Update<br />
The past year has been a time of preparation for documents necessary<br />
for accreditation. Central has been nationally accredited since 1982<br />
with the Association for Biblical Higher Education (formerly known as<br />
the Accrediting Association of <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>College</strong>s). Our ten-year reaffirmation<br />
visit was scheduled for September 2012. Prior to that, we<br />
had to submit documents of self-study, assessment, and planning in<br />
order for the visiting team and the Commission on Accreditation to<br />
properly evaluate our programs. <strong>We</strong> look forward to receiving the<br />
final decision of the Commission in February 2013.<br />
<strong>We</strong> have also been preparing for our initial visit for regional accreditation<br />
from the Higher Learning Commission of North-Central<br />
Association of <strong>College</strong>s and Schools. In the past year our documents<br />
were prepared and submitted for our site visit at the end of October.<br />
<strong>We</strong> will find out a few months after that if we are approved with<br />
Candidate status for regional accreditation.<br />
Jason Lykins<br />
<strong>We</strong> also added Jason Lykins to the faculty as<br />
Director of Ministry Development. He is a<br />
graduate of Liberty University and has worked<br />
in local church ministries, as well as serving<br />
Central as Dean of Men and Men’s Basketball<br />
Coach. Professor Lykins teaches our Vocational<br />
Preparation course, as well as Christian Discipleship<br />
and Principles of Evangelism.<br />
Our final new teacher is actually a familiar face<br />
to the <strong>College</strong>. Gary Bailey is now teaching<br />
part-time in the area of Greek studies. He has<br />
served as a professor in the past at Central, as<br />
well as teaching at the high school level. His<br />
courses include Greek Literature and Classical<br />
Literature.<br />
Gary Bailey<br />
New Programs<br />
In the summer of 2012, Central was approved to offer an online<br />
Bachelor’s Degree, the Bachelor of Religious Studies. This degree is<br />
designed for those who have attended two years of college elsewhere<br />
and are trying to finish a four-year degree. This online degree joins<br />
our Associate of Biblical Studies (2 years) and Certificate of Biblical<br />
Knowledge (1 year) to give us three options for students who<br />
would like to get a <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>College</strong> education without leaving home.<br />
The courses for these programs also enable past students to finish<br />
their degrees without coming back to Moberly. For more information,<br />
contact online@cccb.edu.<br />
This Fall semester, we began offering a new Associate of Worship<br />
Arts degree, which is a two-year program designed for those who<br />
want practical experience and biblical instruction in the worship<br />
ministry of the church. Students have opportunities to work in our<br />
chapel program, travelling groups, and local church apprenticeships<br />
to gain valuable experience for worship ministry. <strong>We</strong> also provide<br />
15 hours of courses in worship, music, and arts to enable students to<br />
have a broad exposure to the skills and theories that make worship<br />
more effective and biblical. More information is available online at<br />
cccb.edu/awa.

nnual Report<br />
Student Development & Enrollment<br />
By Richard Rexrode<br />
Central’s student development department exists to facilitate the<br />
development of the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual qualities<br />
of effective servant leaders who impact the world for Jesus Christ.<br />
A quick review of 2012 at Central highlights key initiatives with<br />
positive outcomes.<br />
Coach DéRonté Polite<br />
led the Lady Saints<br />
basketball team to place<br />
first in the MCCC,<br />
third in the ACCA<br />
national tournament,<br />
and second in the<br />
Central Region of the<br />
NCCAA. A mix of<br />
eight men and women<br />
received all-American awards.<br />
Central’s students and staff participated in seven Outreach <strong>We</strong>ek<br />
mission trips. They served and led in orphanages, VBS, churches,<br />
preaching, teaching, singing, camps, prayer walks, and evangelism<br />
in Jamaica, Mexico, Romania, New England, Namibia, India, and<br />
Poland.<br />
The 2012 Fall Student Leadership Retreat began Central’s fourth<br />
year of comprehensive co-curricular student-led ministries and<br />
leadership development. Residence Assistants, Student Council,<br />
and Student-led Ministry Leaders met for the thirteenth retreat<br />
and first of three retreats during the <strong>College</strong> year on September<br />
7-8. DéRonté Polite serves as Central’s Student Life Coordinator<br />
and directly resources and supports the <strong>College</strong>’s student leadership<br />
initiatives.<br />
Central’s admissions team exists to enable spiritually-minded<br />
students to become equipped at Central with the knowledge,<br />
attitudes, and skills for vocational church leadership and volunteer<br />
positions as servant leaders for the church. 2012 includes positive<br />
highlights of Central’s impact in attracting and deploying servant<br />
leaders for the Church.<br />
In the Fall 2012 semester over 340 students were registered for<br />
classes including over 125 new, transfer, and reactivating students<br />
joined Central’s community of developing servant leaders. Ninetyfive<br />
percent of students who did not graduate in the spring returned<br />
to Central in the fall.<br />
Two camp teams and one CIY MOVE team dedicated ten weeks<br />
in ministry to youth during the 2012 summer. They traveled as<br />
far west as Colorado and as far east as Pennsylvania and Virginia.<br />
Central’s students and staff spoke, taught, and served at camps and<br />
conferences.<br />
Michael Butrum (’11) joined Central’s<br />
admissions team as Assistant Director of<br />
Admissions in May. He is recruiting in an area<br />
that includes southern MO and overseeing<br />
the <strong>College</strong>’s travel team and campus events<br />
ministries. Michael Walton (’12) joined<br />
the team in June as a part-time admissions<br />
counselor. He is recruiting in an area that<br />
includes northwestern MO.<br />
Central continues to welcome students who<br />
want to see for themselves what Central has<br />
to offer by visiting the campus. Many who<br />
come and visit return as students who believe<br />
that Central is the preferred choice in Biblical<br />
higher education. Central offers affordable,<br />
quality, Christian higher education. The<br />
Central way and experience is producing<br />
servant leaders for the church who are making a difference for Jesus<br />
Christ.<br />

Jarrett knew he wanted to be a missionary pilot but few schools offered a B.S.M.A.T. program. <strong>We</strong> prayed. A local missionary told us that Moody <strong>Bible</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> in Spokane WA offered this exact degree. After being accepted, we found out two things that made us rethink this. One, Moody’s MAT is not an<br />
accredited program and two, it cost too much to attend. <strong>We</strong> prayed.<br />
After talking about finances, Jarrett decided to apply to Ozark <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>College</strong> but again it was too late to get any type of scholarship money for this fall. They<br />
told him to plan on coming in the spring after applying for scholarships in the fall. Ugh. Our frustration was rising. OK, plans A, B, C, D, … and others<br />
have not worked out. Time for plan, uhh, G Jarrett would attend a local college in the fall taking basic education classes then transfer to Ozark in the spring.<br />
God’s will It just did not feel complete. I prayed.<br />
Jarrett left for Mission Trip Alabama on Saturday July 14th. I began filling out paperwork for the local public college for fall admission while he was gone.<br />
I asked God to reveal His will to us by the time Jarrett finished his mission trip. “God, the clock is ticking and if You do not do something right away, he is<br />
going to miss out on attending anywhere this fall semester.” I prayed.<br />
On Sunday July 22, Barry Thornton of CCCB came to Sherman Church of Christ and spoke during our Sunday school hour. I honestly forgot that we were<br />
having a guest speaker that morning. I was just excited to have our mission team back. By the end of Barry’s presentation, we wanted to know more. Jarrett<br />
and I visited the campus the next Friday. Our 2 hour tour turned into 5.5 hours. <strong>We</strong> enjoyed meeting everyone and finding out about CCCB.<br />
On the way home, we started looking at all of the doors God had shut. Not just closed but shut them just as we were walking through. <strong>Why</strong> did He wait until<br />
the last minute to open this one I come back to Philippians 1:6 and I know that God is in control and will not quit perfecting us until the day of Jesus Christ.<br />
I am awed by God and to see him answer our prayers in such a specific way is inspiring. I will continue to pray.<br />
Missions<br />
Changed My<br />
Mission by Alyssa Huffman<br />
My walk with God has definitely had its struggles, but for the most part I have done pretty<br />
well. I am from Springfield, Illinois and live with both of my parents. I have six siblings—two biological<br />
and four foster siblings. My home church is Calvary Temple Christian Center, which is also in Springfield.<br />
I grew up in this church, and gave my life to Christ at age six.<br />
Being raised in a Christian home and going to a Christian school doesn’t always make being a Christian<br />
easier. I personally think it makes it all that harder. I went through some rough stages growing up, but I<br />
finally realized that I wasn’t living the best life that I should have been living.<br />
The winter of my freshman year I went on a winter retreat with my youth group. While I was there, God<br />
really got ahold of me and I let go of so many chains I had been holding on to. Around the middle of my<br />
junior year of high school, I really started having a heart for ministry and missions. I had my mind set to<br />
go on a mission trip before I graduated from high school. I looked around at my church to see what trips<br />
were going to be happening within the next year, and I saw one that really stuck out to me…South Africa.<br />
My senior year was busy. I played three sports, volunteered at different outreaches, and led worship in<br />
my youth group. On top of that I had to raise money for the trip. I was feeling the pressure at the end of<br />
the year because I had to finish up all my school work, take my finals, and get ready for my trip all within<br />
a short period of time. I had also just signed with McKendree University to go play basketball and join<br />
their special education program for teaching.<br />
The time came for me to go on the trip, and I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to go and see what God was going to do in my life. He had already been doing<br />
amazing things before the trip, who knew what he was actually going to do while I was over there. My journey over to South Africa was a trip in itself. It was<br />
my first time ever flying. <strong>We</strong> arrived in South Africa safely, and I knew immediately I was absolutely going to love it and that God was going to use me in an<br />
awesome way. <strong>We</strong> arrived on a Friday and that very next day we were off on our first day of ministry…basketball camps all day. It was an awesome way to get<br />
to know others and share the love of God with them. I shared my testimony in front of everyone that day. I was nervous at first, but I felt at ease as soon as I<br />
started because I knew I was doing it all for God and his kingdom.<br />
The next day was our first Sunday church service, and it was absolutely awesome. At the end of the service the pastor did an altar call, and I felt God speaking<br />
to my heart that I had been missing my calling and He wanted me to go into ministry. I finished the rest of my trip with that thought and deed in my mind, and<br />
boy was it a great feeling. Each day of ministry someone either told me something or showed me in some way that I was to do this. It was such an incredible<br />
God thing, and I felt great about it!<br />
I got back from my missions trip and my mind and emotions were going crazy. I had no idea what to do. I started looking at Christian colleges or <strong>Bible</strong> colleges<br />
so that I could go for this goal God was calling me to. My original plan was to try and go to Lincoln Christian University, but it just wasn’t working out there<br />
financially. I was really bummed at first because I started to question God. I started looking around at other colleges and I came across Central Christian<br />
<strong>College</strong> of the <strong>Bible</strong>, and I just knew that there was going to be something good about it. When I came on the visit, I loved the environment and I absolutely<br />
loved the people.<br />
I am so glad that I chose to come to Central. God is doing wonderful things in my life right now, and I can’t wait to see what else He has in store for me. I’m<br />
so glad I decided to follow His plan and purpose. He has formed me into the great person and Christian that I am today. I wouldn’t change it for the world.<br />

The Drought<br />
By William Walton<br />
It began as a normal spring that<br />
year--the rain, the damp air, the<br />
spring flowers, early crops growing<br />
nicely. Then it happened: the rains<br />
stopped. The air became dry, so dry<br />
that the rain which tried to fall never<br />
made it to the ground.<br />
I have not been a farmer for over<br />
half a century, but in the summer of 2012 the memory of my last<br />
year as a farmer returned.<br />
The year was 1954; the crops looked beautiful. Then the change<br />
began as clouds streamed across the sky with no rain. One day in<br />
July the temperature rose even higher. The harsh, dry, hot wind<br />
began. <strong>We</strong> helplessly watched the corn and later the soybeans die<br />
before our eyes. The cows were hungry, so we turned them loose in<br />
the corn to eat their fill of the dead stalks. What we did not know<br />
was that the anhydrous ammonia we had applied to the fields had<br />
now become poison, trapped in the plants, and the cows began to die.<br />
The next year I found the Lord, and I decided I wanted to spread the<br />
living water of Jesus to a world dying of thirst. My focus has been<br />
turned in that direction ever since, but a part of my heart has always<br />
stayed with the land, with growing crops, and the harvest.<br />
Allow me to make a few observations from my little trip down<br />
memory lane.<br />
Droughts not only happen to the land, they sometimes happen to<br />
people. Abundance turns to famine; security turns into restlessness.<br />
Feelings of loneliness and desperation begin to overwhelm, and the<br />
soul loses all joy.<br />
<strong>We</strong> read of one such man in I Kings 19, truly one of the greatest of<br />
God’s servants, undoubtedly in the prophets’ hall of fame--the great<br />
prophet Elijah.<br />
He decided to lay his life and his reputation on the line. He served<br />
God without question. On Mt. Carmel he witnessed the greatest<br />
display of God’s power he had ever seen. God even told him to<br />
do something which may have been against his moral code, to kill<br />
hundreds of men, which he obediently did (1 Kings18:40).<br />
Elijah did not linger on Mt. Carmel to enjoy the success of victory.<br />
Instead he ran into the wilderness trying to escape. This time it was<br />
not a drought similar to what he had announced over three years<br />
before (1 Kings 17:1). This time it was a drought involving his faith<br />
and trust in God. This fearless prophet suddenly became fearful. He<br />
was afraid of Jezebel, a mere mortal who vowed to kill him. She was<br />
a queen-- but wait, was he not the prophet of the most high God<br />
He could not outrun the powerful depression which gripped his<br />
soul, and he dropped exhausted under a tree and cried out for death.<br />
Here is the hero of Mt. Carmel, depressed and suicidal, falling into a<br />
troubled sleep from which he was awakened by angels who cared for<br />
him. They gave him food and water, and sleep overcame him again.<br />
When he awoke he continued the long trip to the mount of God, the<br />
place where the children of Israel camped after leaving the bondage<br />
of Egypt, the place where Moses received the Law. Elijah was now<br />
going in the right direction.<br />
When we experience a dryness of the soul, or a great depression,<br />
what can we do to help ourselves <strong>We</strong> must have good nourishment,<br />
good exercise, and adequate, but not too much, sleep. Always,<br />
always, always run toward God, not away from him.<br />
When God Is the Therapist<br />
God’s Methods<br />
When Elijah arrived at the mount of God he made his residence in a<br />
cave, hiding from the world as do many depressed people. How do<br />
you get depressed Elijah out of his cave With a wind No, it did<br />
not work. With an earthquake No, it did not work either. With<br />
a fire No, it did not work. With a gentle voice Yes! Elijah came<br />
out of his cave.<br />
Next, God became his therapist. “What are you doing here Elijah”<br />
Elijah repeated his confusion and complaint. Counselors call this<br />
“catharsis.” Literally it means a vomiting, getting the poison out of<br />
one’s system. At this point God listened without interruption or<br />
correction<br />
God’s Prescription<br />
1. Allow catharsis to take place.<br />
2. Assign a manageable job. For Elijah it was to anoint kings, and<br />
even his own successor (1 Kings 19:15, 16).<br />
3. Find dependable companionship. Elisha was more than Elijah’s<br />
successor; he became his companion.<br />
4. Help the individual to correct misconceptions. Elijah was<br />
informed that he was not alone; there were 7,000 others who had<br />
not bowed their knees to Baal (1 Kings 19:18).<br />
A spiritual drought of varying intensities may come on anyone.<br />
When this happens, It would be good to follow the example that is<br />
recorded about Elijah. There are times that the body is out of order,<br />
and it must have medicine to help. Many times, however, it is not the<br />
body that needs help. Perhaps the example above can serve as a good<br />
prescription for the overloaded saint.<br />
When these types of drought occur, it is time to turn to God, to<br />
talk to a sympathetic brother or sister, and to resolve to follow God’s<br />
prescription.<br />

REAL<br />
For many years, CCCB students and alumni have had<br />
difficulties if they wanted to pursue a teaching license. Long<br />
years and many dollars in further education were required,<br />
which created a barrier for those who were interested.<br />
However, in the past 10 years, a national program has been<br />
approved in 11 different states, including Missouri. This<br />
now makes it possible for a college graduate with a four-year<br />
degree and a GPA of at least 2.50 to receive a teaching license<br />
after completing the alternative licensing program through<br />
the American Board (www.abcte.org). Since Central is an<br />
accredited college, our alumni are eligible for this program<br />
as a path to teacher certification.<br />
Central and ABCTE have partnered to provide our alumni<br />
a special price when they register during the months of<br />
November and December. Already five Central students<br />
and alumni have taken advantage of the ABCTE PLUS<br />
program, which is normally priced at $2300. During this<br />
special period of time, our graduates will receive a discount<br />
that makes the cost only $1600.<br />
Our representative from ABCTE is Rachel Pryor. She<br />
meets with potential teachers all over the state of Missouri<br />
to explain how the program works and what is necessary<br />
to get started. Free informational seminars are held in all<br />
of the states where ABCTE is accepted (www.abcte.org/<br />
teach/events).<br />
If you have ever thought about becoming a teacher, there<br />
has never been a better time. Changes in state laws and<br />
policies may restrict CCCB graduates in the future. But for<br />
now, the path to being a licensed teacher through ABCTE<br />
is available during the coming year.<br />
Any CCCB graduate with a bachelor’s degree can benefit<br />
from our partnership with ABCTE and become a high<br />
school teacher in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, History,<br />
English Language Arts, General Science, Math, or Physics.<br />
For more information, please visit our website at www.cccb.<br />

is accepted.<br />
