"Prepared"

From The CCI India Subcontinent Regional Director

"Prepared"

Dear Ministry Partner,

It is so ironic that this is my scheduled title for the month of April, which was determined many months ago. It makes me think of the bigger picture and how God’s will is already determined. It is so good to see God’s will be done in our lives. God wants all of us to accomplish varying things for His glory. Therefore, doing what God wants each of us to do takes preparation. Are you getting prepared?

My family and I are prepared to GO for God’s glory. We write with warm hearts because of great encouragement and support for our family and ministry. The ways in which you give of yourselves lifts our spirits. This is what it means to work together for the kingdom of God. As we lock arms, we anticipate God doing great things. Scroll through this newsletter because you are a part of God’s will and can partake in the fruit as He brings it forth.

Thank you for your prayers and your support.

I appreciate you,

Regional Director of the India Subcontinent

Testimony from a teacher in Pakistan

"Greetings in the almighty name of Jesus Christ. I am a pastor and teacher of the CCI curriculum. I am teaching Course 1. It is amazing for me and totally new. This course changed my preaching and studying. I am spiritually growing. I give thanks to the Lord for CCI."

Bangladesh

Pastor S is teaching Course 3 in a southern part of Bangladesh and then in a north-eastern part of Bangladesh.

Pastor D is teaching Course 3, New Testament Survey. He trains 4 groups; two among the unreached. Would anyone like to help him with the cost of a motorcycle?

Testimony from Bangladesh

Mr. N is a regular student of a CCI class and is also attending college. Before the CCI training, he did not speak well, he was shy, fearful, and unwilling to participate in Bible study, youth seminars or Sunday service. He was baptized last month because of the obvious acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Savior. His parents and siblings are not believers, but he is committed to sharing the Gospel with them. There is great transformation in Mr. N’s life. Now, he can share and preach the message from the Bible. He conducts Bible class for the youth. He joined in the God's Financial Principles (GFP) seminar and then God blessed him and answered his prayer to bring other people to Christ from his community. He wants to be an evangelist and share the Gospel everywhere among the youth.

We are really grateful to God that the CCI training is supporting us to grow the ministry through these students in Bangladesh. His parents and neighbors are amazed to see the transformation in his life. It was possible only through the training and discipleship. So, we convey thanks to our God for bringing CCI to make a great impact in this area.

North India

Your support was used to send out a Certified Trainer to the state in the northeast of India. Pictured in a teal shirt is Pastor N, our new CCI partner in northwest Bengal. In January, ministry partners gave so that team member and I could go and train trainers like Pastor N. Look at the result!

My team member traveled to India and taught Course 1 for the first time in eastern India. We now have 15 new teachers and trainers to offer CCI discipleship training. Your giving impacts and enlarges the Kingdom of God!

Testimony from a student in North India

"Greetings! I am glad to let you know that God has given me a great privilege to learn the Word of God in CCI classes here in my northern village. Please pray for me to continue to know the Word of God deeply and after I finish my course, that I can be available to teach others in my area. Thank you for providing sound doctrine and material in my language. May God bless you all! In Christ."

- Mr. M

UAE

Pastor M is a CCI Certified Trainer in UAE, established in January with your support. Pastor M is conducting training in the Urdu language. He is a native of Pakistan. He hopes to train church leaders and make disciples primarily because the Lord commands it. He knows that a lack of discipleship plagues the Church.

Nepal

CCI Nepal started a new CCI class in central Nepal. And a God's Financial Principles (GFP) seminar was held in north central Nepal with 20 participants.

Testimony from Nepal

"My name is Ms. R. I am a church member and a kindergarten teacher. For a long time, I have deep passion to learn the Word of God and a deep hunger for the Word of God. Sunday church fellowship alone doesn’t satisfy me either. I could not understand Bible very well by myself because I did not know how to study the Bible. Without a system and method it was hard to understand the Bible. I am very happy about the CCI ministry in Nepal! Their training helps me to understand the difference between reading and studying the Bible. Now, I have great satisfaction and more interest in understanding and studying the Bible. It not only helps me directly, it helps me to understand the biblical value of my job with my students in His view. Thank you CCI Nepal and CCI training!"
