Statement of Purpose:
THE CHRISTIAN CHIROPRACTORS ASSOCIATION offers the
chiropractic profession a Christian fellowship in which believers of
various denominations can fellowship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ
together. We seek to gather and unify Christian Doctors of Chiropractic
around the essentials of the Christian faith, leaving minor points of
doctrine to the conscience of the individual believer. Personal faith in
Jesus Christ and His Word is the basis of our fellowship.
THE CHRISTIAN CHIROPRACTORS ASSOCIATION places world
missions at the heart of its program. Now contributing to several
different mission fields, we look forward to a constantly enlarging
vision of missions that will assist in sending Christian Chiropractors to
many whitened harvest fields with the Gospel of Christ and
chiropractic before Jesus returns.
Statement of Faith:
THE CHRISTIAN CHIROPRACTORS ASSOCIATION is conservative in
theology; believing the Bible to be inspired, the ONLY infallible,
authoritative Word of God; believing in the deity of our Lord Jesus
Christ, eternal, coequal with the Father, in His virgin birth, in His
vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, His ascension
to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and
glory, believing that for the salvation of lost and sinful man,
regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and is effectual
by grace through faith alone.

Healing Hands - Touching Lives
Dr. Cheryl Steen
In mid-April, the CCA mission team serving in Costa Rica was involved in a serious automobile accident. The team of five and
local pastor, Luis Cordero, had stopped to lend aid to people involved in an accident where a car had been hit into a ditch. Pastor
Luis and three of our CCA members had exited their van when a semi-truck traveling the wrong direction came crashing into
several vehicles, causing the van of our team to be struck. Three team members were in the van, and all received injuries. Dr.
Cheryl Steen incurred the most serious injuries and remains in the hospital in Costa Rica. Her husband, Norm, had exited the van;
however, he was hit and knocked to the ground by a vehicle that was hit by the semi-truck. He suffered three broken ribs and a
pneumothorax. Dr. Cheryl suffered a broken pelvis and shattered clavicle. Both were hospitalized.
Dr. Michael Budincich was in the van and experienced eight broken ribs and facial and head lacerations. He was hospitalized for a
week and then required to stay in the country for a few days before being allowed to fly home.

Dr. Michael Budincich
Celeste Caraotta injured her arm and shoulder and
is very sore. She did not require hospitalization. Dr.
Jacob Caraotta and Dr. Aryan Rashidi were not
injured; Pastor Luis had a head laceration, and those
three were able to render aide while waiting for
emergency crews.
The CCA has setup an account to collect funds to
help cover the expenses that team members have
incurred from the accident. Dr. Cheryl, who was
unconscious at the scene, was placed in a medically
induced coma for a couple of days and has incurred
the greatest expense with extended stay for surgery
and recuperation. Her and Norm's children have
flown to be with them, as has Dr. Budincich's wife.
Any gifts will be used directly to assist these
dedicated team members.
