CCCU’s Global Impact
We believe the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19—“therefore go and make disciples of all nations…”—is just as applicable to our business as it is to each believer’s life. In this spirit, we’re committed to partnering and donating to ministries whose mission is to help transform lives through Christ’s love, whether in the U.S. or abroad.
When you’re a member of CCCU, you play a key role in our giving because the money you deposit into the Credit Union is re-invested to help build churches and expand ministries. Likewise, every time you use your credit and debit cards, you’re changing lives. Through our “Cards that Give to Missions” program, we’ve donated over $6 million to missions and ministry projects since 1995.
Global Impact
Christian Community Credit Union Donates $10,000 to Assist in Release of MAF Pilot Ryan Koher
Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) has donated $10,000 to aid in the release of MAF pilot Ryan Koher who has been in a Mozambican high-security prison since November 4, 2022. Koher was on a mission to fly supplies from southern Mozambique to an orphanage in the northern part of the country where there has been insurgent activity. Unfortunately, what should have been a routine flight for the greater good, turned into false allegations. Police believed that the supplies were to support terrorists in the region, a belief that simply doesn’t align with the facts. Ryan has been detained for nearly four months, still waiting for specific charges to be filed.
The donation from CCCU will help cover legal and other costs for Ryan Koher in his wrongful detainment in Mozambique. The funds for the donation come from CCCU’s “Cards that Give to Missions” program, in which a portion of the Credit Union’s interchange income (fees merchants pay to card issuers) is donated when cardholders use their Christian Community Credit Union-issued credit cards for purchases. To date, CCCU has given over $6 million to Christian causes.
