Overview
It may not surprise you that combined ministry and missions experience of just a few New International affiliates amounts to over 100 years. We want to make our experienced and seasoned staff and missionaries available to you and your church, missions teams, leaders, and international partners, as well as local professional and ministry groups.
Whether small group, motivational talk, 1-day seminar, or weekend group event, New International desires to serve and challenge the Christian community as we serve together to accomplish the Great Commission.
Let's ignite the passion for missions and advance the Kingdom globally, together.
CV Elliott
In 1979 CV Elliott experienced God’s call to missionary ministry with an agency today known as GO International. By 1985 the Elliott’s had relocated to Wilmore, Kentucky, where CV enrolled at Asbury Theological Seminary and continued to work with the mission part time.
The leader of the mission died in 1986. The ensuing changes forced CV to drop out of seminary in order to take the position of Vice President. In that capacity he was leading short term mission teams into majority world countries, and challenging churches in the U.S. to share God’s heart for the world.
Always focused on meeting the expressed needs from majority world church leaders, CV began a teaching ministry in 1987 that continues to this day. His focus has been on grass roots level leadership which often have had little formal education. C V and Judy currently make their home in Cape Coral, Florida.
