Biblical Commission

“Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.… Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.” Luke 14:21, 23 (NIV)

Leadership

CeCe McCoo

Area Director

Serving the bi-state area, E. St. Louis, IL/St. Louis, MO, CeCe brings over three decades of Christian leadership experience to her role at Joni and Friends. A former senior pastor, CeCe has a heart for serving people living with disability and poverty. CeCe’s call to serve in correctional institutions for over 13 years equipped her with the strength and courage to go to Samaria, the place where few will travel—and has taught her the value of serving those often forgotten.
