The Pinkes

Bruce and Carolyn Pinke are CCCC missionaries who serve with WEC International (Worldwide Evangelization for Christ) and have been part of the Avon Community Church (a CCCC church in Minnesota) family from its inception. Bruce, as a matter of fact, is the founding pastor. Bruce helped spearhead a small group of people from a former pastorate to form what is now Avon Community Church. Since that time, Bruce and Carolyn have been sharing the gospel in Africa among various Mu*lim people groups.

Since 1989, their service has taken them to Liberia, Ivory Coast and France. They have had to flee for their lives more than once, leaving everything behind. Their courage and faithfulness have been an inspiration to all of us.

Bruce and Carolyn are currently serving as Church Planting Coaches for WEC International traveling extensively as they continue their work in missions. Bruce and Carolyn reside in North Minneapolis among the Somali population in order to reach out to them more effectively.
WEC International’s aim is to reach out to people who have limited or no access to the good news of Jesus Christ, particularly where there is no church. They work in multicultural teams to help worshipping communities of believers multiply among these people.
