Dorce Ministries, including Berea Children's Home, moved to the country village of Carries in January 2003. Port-au-Prince, the capital, became too dangerous and unsettling. This new environment has enhanced every aspect of their work. Wilckly and Dee Dorce are responsible for this work. Wilckly is a Haitian national. He is a gospel preacher. Dee Dorce is an Iowa farm girl. She is a 1991 graduate of Central Christian College of the Bible. Wilckly keeps busy with the many churches of the area. He has gathered them under his wing and is evaluating each to see what help they need. Many have no preacher or even a Sunday school teacher. Wilckly is preparing a place at Carries for teaching and training those leaders. He also wants to be able to develop a trade school where they can learn a valuable trade that will put food on their table. Dee's area is the children. She is teaching those in the area churches to conduct Sunday school and other activities for the children. Activities for the children are basically non-existent. This weighs heavy on Dee's heart. She knows the children are the key to change the future of Haiti. Wilckly and Dee also have a medical clinic to provide first aid treatment to those of the community. Wilckly and Dee's home is always open to the neighborhood and is usually full of neighborhood children at any given time. Dee has a chance to teach the children who would never attend church when they enter her home. The children know they will find something to eat at the Dorce home. Food is very scarce in their own homes. Berea is still part of their ministry as some of the children are still in their care. Others continue to return to "mom and dad" for help and advice.

Cookson Hills Christian Ministries was established in 1957 by Howard Dillon and Arnold Keenon. Located in northeastern Oklahoma, Cookson Hills exists as a child care home that provides a safe and stable environment. Parents select one of two programs offered by Cookson Hills based on their family need. One of their choices is the option of family reunification. Parents and children must work together with houseparents, a therapist, and other staff members at Cookson in order to develop both understanding and skills to allow for the family to live together again. The second choice is a long-term permanent living arrangement at Cookson that allows a child to graduate from Cookson Hills High School. Although the main unit is located near Kansas, Oklahoma, there are units at Alba, Missouri, and Sheffner, Florida. Cookson is a mission of the Christian Church, Churches of Christ and is supported almost entirely by these churches and individuals.

Shiloh Christian Children's Ranch is a set of 3 homes in Kahoka and 4 homes in Clarence MO that house abused and neglected children from all over the United States. About 60 children, from 4-19 years of age, currently live in the homes. Shiloh helps children cope with, and overcome their problems by placing them in a loving, Christian, family environment. Involvement in the Church and in day to day family chores and activities is strongly encouraged. Shiloh is not a state agency and depends entirely upon gifts from churches and individuals.

The camp was started around 1941 and was located at the park in Camp Point, In 1957 twenty acres were purchased near Tennessee, Illinois, and the camp has continued at this location where there are seventeen buildings on the grounds. Randy Chestnut has been the full-time camp manager for the past several years, and he has had a lot of volunteer help. Camp isn't just for young people but is for the "young at heart" too. The supreme goal is to effectively share the love of God as expressed through his Son, Jesus Christ. Many decisions for Christ and full-time Christian service are made because of the "seeds" planted during a week of camp.

Campus Students for Christ provides a casual, contemporary campus ministry for the students at Western Illinois University.

CSC provides housing for over 50 men and women. Their Bible study and Church service has an average attendance of over 100. During the school year various church groups provide the Sunday $2 dinner before the Sunday bible study. This ministry is directed by Charlie Ferguson and assisted by Heather Stevenson.

CCC, located in Moberly, Missouri, was established in 1957 with the goal of providing a Bible College that features quality instruction that is faithful to Biblical Christianity. The college has a staff committed to training men and women for full-time Christian service in their chosen fields of service. Central's enrollment has doubled since 1990. To address the "growing pains" of this increased enrollment as well as to upgrade campus facilities, CCC is currently involved in a major fund-raising campaign- the Impact The New Century campaign. In its first year, this campaign has generated a large portion of the base goal through new monies from individuals, churches, and foundations.

Lincoln is working to help raise up the next generation of Christian leaders.

John and Marge Pemberton began their work as missionaries to Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) over thirty years ago. Two of their four children were born overseas. Their work in Zimbabwe has been varied, from working with the Mashoko Medical Clinic to establishing churches and schools in the Hippo Valley and Maranda areas. Thousands of young people have graduated from the schools where an hour of Bible is taught every day. Two of John and Marge's sons, John Mark and Bob (and their families), are actively involved in the ministry in Zimbabwe.

At the request of Christian workers around the world and in consultation with many other individuals, Ziden and Helen Nutt moved to Joplin, Missouri, in 1975 to officially begin Good News Productions, International. Good News Productions, International is a non-profit ministry dedicated to helping the church of Jesus Christ fulfill his Great Commission. This is done by designing specific strategies for evangelism and leadership training efforts to fit each unique culture. Virtually all work is done in cooperation with missionaries and national Christians who understand the targeted people group. This ministry is now reaching into nearly 95 countries in over 100 languages. Christian workers around the world report dramatic response to the Gospel as it is spread by such simple tools as filmstrips and video-cassettes to solar-powered audiovisual packs and satellite communications.

Restoration House Ministries (RHM) is committed to church planting and church growth. With fewer than twenty independent Christian churches in the six states, our mission is to help existing congregations grow as church-planting churches to reach the the thirteen million people of the region.
RHM is supported through monthly and one-time gifts from churches and individuals. The greatest need now is for individuals to make monthly commitments over two or three years to help us plan more effectively for church planting. Lincoln Christian College (LCC) and Seminary is a partner who sent Professor Dan Clymer to New England to work with the new church leaders. RHM will invite other professors and church leaders to teach classes and seminars as long as financial support and area needs continue. LCC is also a significant partner in the internship program. While Lincoln students have been the majority of the interns to this point, RHM encourages other college students to apply for internships and Resident Ministry positions. We are also encouraging seminary students and campus ministry students to apply for select Resident Ministries positions.

Team Expansion exists to partner with local churches to send and sustain teams of interdependent missionaries to plan indigenous churches among unreached people worldwide.

Currently we are supporting Casey and Molly Bell, as they prepare to serve in Taipai Taiwan, and Julie Cheathum, who serves from the home office in Louisville, KY. Julie helps handle finances and details for missionaries in the field.

Quincy Area Christian Schools Association was formed after two years of study by a task force that included several Madison Park members. Their research indicated that an area-wide interdenominational school would best serve the needs of the area. Quincy Christian School was opended in 1997 on a thirty-six acre tract of land at the northeast edge of Quincy. The mission of Quincy Christian School is to be an extension of the home and church and to train each student in the knowledge of God and the scriptural way of life. By providing the highest standards for intellectual and spiritual learning, the school's goal is to equip each child with the necessary tools to effectively pursue the vocation to which God will lead.
