Over 1.2 million children are trafficked each year for the purpose of sexualexploitation. Conservative estimates say, of that number, over 400,000 are boys. Tragically,there is little help or hope for boys anywhere on the planet. Blackbox International wascreated to change that. Blackbox seeks to bring healing to male survivors of sex traffickingthrough holistic aftercare. We began this critical work in the Dominican Republic andcontinue to provide care for boys and young men in our safe-home. We are learning fromthis first initiative and developing a model for holistic aftercare that can be reproducedglobally.LINKS Website:   https://blackboxinternational.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/blackboxinternationalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackboxintl/?hl=enChrist’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.church/CCV Missions:  https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360:  https://www.letsgo360.org/Pastor Larrie Fraley: linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032 Email: missions@ccv.church 

Mary is no stranger to the podcast, having been previously featured in episode 13 of season one. She embarked on her journey of service after accepting Christ and sharing His message through local mission work. Originally starting her studies at Kenyatta University, Mary's path took a turn when she met a young worship leader whose stories intrigued her. This encounter led her to the Mary Valley in Nairobi, Kenya, home to one of the oldest and largest slums in the city. Witnessing extreme poverty firsthand, Mary felt a calling to devote her life to helping those in need.Living among the impoverished community, Mary was shocked by the unhealthy and dangerous conditions people endured. Determined to make a difference, she co-founded Missions of Hope (MOHI) alongside Dr. Wallace Kamau. CCV has long supported MOHI, not only financially but also through active participation in serving the community. Mary's dedication to her mission has inspired countless individuals, and listeners can learn more about MOHI's impactful work by visiting MOHIAfrica.org. LINKS Website:   https://mohiafrica.org/Mobile App:  https://mohiafrica.org/mobile-app/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MoHiAfrica/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mohiafrica/?hl=enChrist’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.church/CCV Missions:  https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360:  https://www.letsgo360.org/Pastor Larrie Fraley: linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032 Email: missions@ccv.church

TCM comes alongside Christians who are leading in their own countries and have a passion for reaching their people for Christ. Through our institute we can develop a Christian leader for a fraction of the cost it would take to send a U.S. missionary to that same country.

When you think of the 3.2 billion people who haven’t heard the name of Jesus, the task of sharing God’s love with people from every nation can seem overwhelming, even impossible! Fortunately, God never intended for us to complete the task on our own.Never in our lifetime has the goal of reaching the over 3 billion unreached seemed so attainable. Why is the goal possible? Media. Through creating culturally relevant media, you share Jesus without borders or boundaries.Website: https://gnpi.org/Christ’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032

Rick Wappel would be in my book, if I wrote one, called the most interesting people I have ever met. Truly a believer that most of us would want to be.

With me today is Larry Burek. Larry resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, with his wife, Becky, of almost thirty years. His son and daughter-in-law currently serve at a church in Orange County, California.Larry and I have become very good friends over the last 2 or 3 years. Today, we'll discuss medical missions at CCV and what is happening in that ministry within CCV. How is God moving in our church?Larry was fortunate to be raised not just in a home focused on Christ but also one where missionaries were common guests at the Monday morning breakfast table as they traveled from church to church, raising support.In the middle of a pre-dental program at the University of Michigan, Larry felt led to partner with a missionary dentist in the Central African Republic to affirm his vocational calling and discover Jesus anew. After returning to the US the following year, he transferred to and graduated from Grace College. During that period, his sister unexpectedly died while studying to become a medical missionary. Following a short break, he completed his M.Div at Talbot Theological Seminary and started serving in local churches and para-church organizations in Southern California.Believing that God was calling him in an entirely different direction, Larry furthered his education at Pepperdine University School of Law before embarking on a 34+ year legal career throughout California, working for small and mid-size businesses and litigating complex cases. Even then, he worked with his local church, Baja Christian Ministries, and International Justice Missions, providing legal advice and guidance for ongoing projects in Rwanda. In addition, he served as the President and Chairman of the Board of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Orange County, where he worked with critically ill children.Larry moved to the Phoenix area in 2017 while continuing to practice law in California. He quickly became involved with Christ’s Church of the Valley and its missions department, which, in turn, led to multiple mission trips and his involvement with Rocky Point Medical Clinic, The Neighborhood Christian Clinic, Missions of Hope International, and Liberte Live. The combination of his passion for medical missions and the organizational and leadership skills he acquired as a lawyer prepared him to lead CCV’s medical-dental-vision-mental health mission outreaches here, near, and far.LINKS:Christ’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: LarryBurek@ccv.churchHeidiFigg@ccv.church

Today is a special episode focusing on our mission partners currently in Israel and going through the holocaust of this generation. I am speaking with one of the leaders CCV supports, Saleem Hanna. Saleem and his wife, Andera, are a couple who are leading a church in Nazareth. He is an excellent communicator in an Arab-Israeli church. He is very active in the churches and ministries in Israel, helping forge unity within multi-church backgrounds and promoting a Biblical ministry model.Saleem and Andera are part of the Christian Holy Land Foundation, which partners with six pastoring couples native to the Galilee region of northern Israel. As church planters, they serve both established congregations and 'home' churches. They are also active in specialized ministries such as Women's programs and trainings, Believer reconciliation events, youth groups, and more.Since 2005, they have expanded from 6 ministries in 5 different communities to working with two dozen groups in nearly 30 villages and towns. CCV is proud that God has allowed us to have played a part in their growth.LINKS:Website: https://www.chlf.org/Christ’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: missions@ccv.church

In Joshua 1:9, the LORD calls you to be courageous – not because you are a gifted leader, strategist, organizer, communicator, motivator or fighter – because the Lord will be with you wherever you go.Today I talk with a Jonathon Roe a long time good friend who helps faith based Non-profits fight back. Jonathan Roe has been a non-profit coach and trainer in AZ for more than a decade, and is the Founder and CEO of Venture 1:9.  Venture 1:9 (based on Joshua 1:9) guides non-profits to a place of courage, health, sustainability and impact, through free training, coaching and granting.After graduating college in Boston, Jonathan spent 17 years in church leadership, pastoring two local churches near Washington, D.C. and Columbus, Ohio. In early 2008, he moved to Phoenix to launch and lead Mission Increase AZ (MI AZ), a ministry to strengthen Christian non-profit organizations. Under Jonathan’s leadership, MI AZ engaged hundreds of non-profit organizations, granted more than $2m for community and Kingdom impact, and built a close-knit family of Christian non-profit leaders.Jonathan earned a Master of Divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Fuller Theological Seminary.

Today I talk with my good friend John Moore. He loves generosity as much as our sr. pastor and has committed his life to the principles he has learned from scripture. We will find out a little about his life. John founded John Moore Associates (JMA) in 1997 with a passion to both serve his community and help his community serve others through the causes that matter to them. His diligent stewardship is in part refined by his military experience, which instilled in him a strong sense of discipline and strategic thinking. John handed off the leadership of JMA to Brian Cochran in 2022 but continues to lend his wisdom to the JMA team as a consultant. An avid flyer since the age of 16, John has enjoyed flying both airplanes and gliders and spending time with his wife of over 40 years, Connie.John believes that the best financial meetings have nothing to do with money. He knows that our most valuable asset is people. John would say that these are his values and the values of the company he founded.RelationshipsOur community is our most valuable asset. We put others before ourselves and are committed to collaboration, loyalty, and trust-building with all clients, vendors and coworkers, knowing that together we can help create more fulfilling futures.WisdomOur expertise is only as deep as the wisdom we seek. We continually pursue a greater knowledge of our trade, our clients, and the world, combined with timeless and transcendent principles of the bible, so that we may provide fruitful counsel.ServiceWe bring a servant’s heart to all we do, with caring, attentive, proactive, and responsive service to our clients and colleagues. We consistently find real solutions to clients’ challenges to optimize stewardship.GenerosityWe believe that sharing God’s resources and encouraging a life of giving will have a deep and lasting impact on families, our communities, and our own joy.LINKS:Website: www.johnmoore.comBooks: https://www.johnmoore.com/books/Christ’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: missions@ccv.church

Retirement is generally recognized as a part of the American Dream. Not mine by the way.  We grow up, we work, we retire, and we die. It’s just another part of the rhythm of life. But is the hope of an easy life of retirement something Christians should cling to?Not according to Mike McClain a long time friend who is as active as ever leading people to Christ. The model that the culture seems to point toward for retirement (at least if I can trust the ads on television) is one of complete leisure, once I quit working, for the rest of my life.Yet even before sin came into the world, God told us to work,  (Gen 1:28). Idleness and dissipation do not appear to be a part of the divine design for humans.In fact, the model of retirement that is built around limitless leisure seems to undermine God’s design for human existence.Mike will share how God is using him in a time that world says to retire.LINKSChrist’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: missions@ccv.church

Today Julia Hernandez shares with us her preparation to lead a trip of 8 CCV goers as they head to Ancona, Italy to talk with people there about Jesus Christ. We will explore Zume Discipleship training (found in our shownotes).Matthew 28:18-20 - "Jesus came and spoke to the eleven disciples, saying: 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.' The act of teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you through Christ with others in public settings using Wisdom and considering all culturally, socially, and legally permissible techniques is known as biblical street evangelism.Our personal opinions are irrelevant, and as Christians, we must always be prepared to accept the Truth, even when it contradicts everything we have been taught and believed to be true up until the moment the Truth arrives to upend all previous false beliefs. As Christians, we should embrace the Truth rather than be fearful of it! LINKSDonate to the trip:Go to https://ccv.church/ministries/missions/tripsClick on "DONATE TO A MISSION TRIP"SELECT A TRIP: Italy #839400ZUME Training: https://zume.training/ Christ’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: missions@ccv.church

Acts 20:28-30 NIV Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock.Today we will be talking with Rich Wooten, Director Safety and Security Director Safety and Security at CCV. Rich has been with CCV for 6 years. Prior to that Rich was the Security Manager Security Manager for the National Football League in New York, New York, Rich also retired from as a Police Detective for City of Phoenix after 26 years.The vast majority of churches won't experience a terrorist or shooter attack, but other situations are more frequent, and church leaders need to have a security plan and staff in place to protect their flock. Alarm systems, security personnel, and video surveillance are simply a few components of the solution.If CCV or any church doesn't feel safe and secure, they can forget the purpose of your church and the message of God. Every church needs a security strategy that outlines what the staff, church leaders, security personnel, and our attendees should do in case of emergency.LinksChrist’s Church of the Valley: https://ccv.churchCCV Missions: https://ccv.church/ministries/missionsLet’s Go 360: https://www.letsgo360.orgPastor Larrie Fraley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrie-fraley-53445032Email: missions@ccv.churchDefending the Flock: A Security Guide for Church Safety Directors: https://a.co/d/45r4eSR

Today's episode is with Mark Benson, the West Regional Director of  Partner Relations for the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. Now, Mark actually living here in phoenix  and attends CCV.  I met mark a few year ago and over the years we have become good friends.  The Museum of the Bible is located in Washington, D.C., and houses artifacts and manuscripts related to the Bible. David Green’s connection to the Museum of the Bible comes into play through Hobby Lobby funding the museum.  Check out:  https://www.museumofthebible.org/ He no stranger to the church. Mark’s  father was a third-generation Lutheran minister, retiring at 86 years old. (He went home on January 1, 2022.) Mark did not feel the calling to be a minister, but as a capitalist, and Mark’s ministry has been to the people he served in business. Mark and his wife Mary owned or operated 16 new car dealerships around the country. They were also the managing partners for: Ford, Honda, Lincoln, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Jeep, Chrysler, Hyundai and Ram.  While the owners of Honolulu Ford, they boldly invested in the Church. The FCC approved an on-demand station at Cox-cable: JOHN 316. We filled our Christian station with 9 local churches, with 60,000 Hawaiian home tuning in each month. Much like Hobby Lobby, In-and-Out, Mark closed his dealerships on Sunday to honor the Sabbath. https://youtu.be/t7K6s6Cxfes and sales exploded. Now, Hawaii is his mission field, and the last year Mark owned a dealership.   Mark has worked for the Museum of the Bible for 2.5 years.  The pervious 5-8 years Mark would wake up at 2:00 AM and ask God, am I using my talents the way that you would like me to?  The Benson family has a passion for missions. He partnered with Rotary International to drill a well in Naberera, Tanzania. It did not turn out the way that he thought it would.  "We hit water 147 meters down, but the pastor there was afraid that his Massai Tribe would kill him and take the well over. He waited for 10 years to put the well head on and start pumping water. Mans timing is different than Gods!"
