Cornerstone supports short-term and long-term missionaries both near and far. Get to know our missionaries and the people they are serving, and please pray for them. They are dear to us. We ask the Lord to grant them favor as they make disciples where God has called them.
MEET OUR MISSIONARIES
Luther and Lanita Eatman serve the Lord at Bridge of Hope Community Church in Kansas City, Kansas. Their mission is to compassionately transform lives through Jesus Christ. The Lord called and gifted the Eatmans to take the transformative power of God's love to those with troubled backgrounds—alcoholics, drug addicts, the homeless, ex-convicts, and prostitutes. You can learn more about their ministry at www.bridgeofhopekc.org.
Joe and Brenda Chenoweth. Joe serves with Young Life (YL), a ministry that reaches out to middle school, high school, and college-aged kids in all fifty states and around the world. Joe also works with Perception Funding, a missions support organization, and has founded his own ministry “Walking the Walls” to help existing YL areas and other ministries build and sustain healthy teams and mission community.
Phil & Heidi Litle Haifa, Israel. Phil & Heidi raised their children and have served in Israel since 1980. The Litles are staff members with Beit Elliahu, a messianic church in Haifa, where they are making disciples and developing leaders. They are part of The Global Mission, an international ministry devoted to bringing the Gospel to those who've never heard. Phil and Heidi enjoy ministering in a very diverse community that speaks as many as 5 different languages. Their church reaches out to native Israelis, but also ministers to people from many countries who have moved to Israel. They work closely with their church to minister to families, students, soldiers, and others in Haifa. They do much of their ministry by inviting people into their home. The Litles host people in their home for Shabbat meals (Friday night, the beginning of their Sabbath) on a regular basis.
Luke and Becca Perkins serving with Crossworld.
Luke and Becca served in Haiti for seven years at STEP Seminary training disciple-makers to transform Haitian society with the gospel. Their family transitioned to Kansas City in 2023 where Luke now serves as president of Crossworld. This global mission agency sends disciple-makers from all professions to bring God’s love to life in the world’s least-reached marketplaces.
Pastor Paul & Beatrice Offi-Kyadie – Making disciples in Suhum, Ghana
Paul and Beatrice have shepherded a church in a small community of Ghana for years, but Paul also serves as a coordinator and trainer for the JESUS Film ministry in Western Africa. Evangelizing and discipling Africans - that's Paul and Beatrice’s passion. They mentor many men and women and their door at the mission house is always open. Since a large portion of the population cannot read, Paul’s gift of presenting the Bible through story-telling is well-utilized.
Pastor Paul has recently been reassigned to oversee several churches in Kumasi, Ghana. He and Beatrice have prepared their congregation in Suhum to now be led by a new pastor that Paul has discipled. Pray for a smooth transition for their family to Kumasi and their new roles in ministry.
Pastor Pradeep & Sumitra Limma
Making Disciples in Odisha, India
Pastor Pradeep & Sumitra serve in Odisha (on the eastern coast of India). They love the people God has called them to serve. The original church they planted in Odisha has planted 23 additional churches over the years! In 2002, Pradeep and others from Greater Grace Mission established Orissa Bible College. Village pastors and leaders from all over Odisha come to Pradeep to be trained in grace and discipleship. Pastor Pradeep rescues orphans and feeds and clothes many widows. He continues to pastor several churches, to teach at the school, and to share the gospel with the lowest in the caste system. The ministry hopes to purchase land soon for a much-needed building and farmland.
Pastor Ganesh & Sindhu Wankhede
Making disciples in Mumbai, India
Pastor Ganesh and his wife Sindhu have planted multiple churches in the Nalasopara region of northern Mumbai. Their focus has been evangelism and disciplemaking in the slums of the Vasai District. These people have come from many parts of India to work in the factories of Mumbai. Almost all of their congregations are first-generation Christians who have never seen Biblical principles lived out in marriages, business, and other relationships.
Gifted in evangelism, Ganesh has a heart for a tribe located 950 miles to the east of Mumbai in a densely forested area. These are the Korku people. Pastor Ganesh has been leading small teams about four times per year to share the Gospel with the 150 villages of this tribe.
Please pray for wisdom whether Pastor Ganesh and Sindhu should leave the Mumbai churches under the care of Pastor Minish, one of Ganesh’s disciples, and move to central India to work fulltime with the Korku tribe or stay in Mumbai.

Jacob & Erica Zerger
Ministering to Missionaries from around the world
Jacob & Erica’s mutual passion for missions led them to study at the same Bible College in western Kansas where they first met. After marrying in 2011, the Lord burdened them to serve among Arabs in Jordan. Eventually, God took them to Amman, Jordan, where they began to study Arabic and to learn about the spiritual and cultural climate of the region. In spring of 2018, Jacob, Erica, and their children returned to the States for health reasons. Since returning, Jacob has completed his degree in Biblical counseling.
They are currently raising support to move to England with MissionGo ministries where they will minister to missionaries needing counseling.
