The Briggs Family

Chris and Ren Briggs live in the Jamaica Deaf Village. With a mix of leading church and collegiate mission trips, engaging the Deaf community in the village, and managing and developing the textile business for CCCD, their ministry is diverse, but it’s all centered around engaging, equipping, and empowering the Deaf community to be all that God created them to be.

The Beukema Family

Ben and Krista Beukema first came to Jamaica to serve with CCCD in the early 2000s when they were L.I.F.E. Team members with their church. Those trips paved the way to full-time service and they moved to Jamaica in January of 2012.

At the end of 2017 they moved their family back to the US where they now both serve at the US Office. Ben as the President and Krista as special projects.

The Bloemendaal Family

Pat and Kara began their ministry with CCCD in 2018 when they were asked to lead a L.I.F.E. team trip. By January 2020, they were moved in to the Jamaica Deaf Village. Their family has also grown during their time in Jamaica, and they now have two beautiful children: Silas and Gianna.

In 2022, they moved their family back to the US where they now both serve at the US office - Pat working with L.I.F.E. teams and short term missionaries, and Kara working as the Office Administrator.
