When new opportunities for ministry in Eurasia became available in 1990, the man who had previously never considered serving as a missionary jumped at the chance to help reignite a Methodist presence after a 74-year-long absence. 

While Rev. S. C. did not share her husband’s crisis of faith, she serves from a place of humility shaped by a familial narrative of redemption. 

Together, Rev. Y. C. C. and his wife Rev. S. C. pour their lives into helping people impacted by decades of economic, political, and spiritual displacement. 

Given the unprecedented catastrophes occurring locally and globally, UMCOR’s disaster response efforts are more important now than ever.

Rev. Y. C. C. and Rev. S. C. are a married missionary couple with many years of service to Eurasia’s vast, diverse, and geopolitically complex arena. 

They bring passion, sensitivity, and commitment to their relationships, honed from a dedication to Jesus Christ and their own personal journeys.

As a pastor’s son, Rev. Y. C. C. was initially skeptical of the Christian faith. 

But then he, his wife, and their two young sons were involved in—and survived—a very serious car accident. 

“Then I woke up to the grace of the Lord,” he says. “And God called to me.” 

Today, the couple continues to invest in the work they helped launch in the early 1990s, shepherding the United Methodist Church of Eurasia as it seeks to strengthen and grow leaders, improve self-sustainability, and deepen community partnerships.
