The CBC Executive Committee held its monthly meeting by Zoom on August 9, 2026. After the opening prayer thanking God for His provisions, the minutes were approved, and the treasurer’s report was reviewed and approved as presented.
The Ministerial Leadership Committee reported recommendations for two new congregations. Shalom Mugondo Congregation in Burundi with Pastor Hakizimana Amadet and Munezero Mugeregere Congregation in Burundi with Pastor Sindaharaye Vital were both approved unanimously. Recommendations for ministerial considerations were also presented. Brother Assani Wilondja Wilder, Regional Elder from Malawi and pastor of Dzaleka CBC congregation was approved unanimously for ordination, and Brother Luis Figueroa Jr. from Johnson City, TN was approved unanimously for licensing. The approvals at this meeting bring total CBC congregations to 227 in 14 countries including the US! Praise the Lord!
Bro. Scott Kinnick reported on several international CBC congregations as they relate to financial needs, health issues, and natural disasters, and funding was approved as appropriate.
Words of joy and praise to the Lord were shared by members of the Board as everyone spoke about the Great Commission and how a delegate from our Annual Meeting and Worship Conference struck up a conversation with someone at Walmart which led to a family worship service at their home. Today, they are worshipping at Faith CBC in Johnstown, PA!
The Missions Committee requested support for church building funds for the Dominican Republic and Guatemala and after proper considerations, funds were unanimously approved.
A few other minor items and reports were shared before Bro. John Collins closed the meeting in prayer thanking God for how blessed we are to call Him our Father, Jesus our Savior, and the Holy Spirit our comfort and guide. Please continue to join the CBC Executive Board in praying for God’s guidance.
