Dear Ministry Partner,
My whole team had much on their schedules for the month of June. Even though we had our own schedules, we still could see ways that each of us were selfless. Each team member needed assistance to accomplish the goal. Working together is at the core of ministry and is very rewarding.
Whether it's doing life with the family or strengthening believers, it is necessary to be selfless rather than harvest egos. A quote reads "Selflessness helps us act from our heart and soul instead of our ego." I can feel that... Can you think of anyway you have been selfless? One, is your attention to God's heart, the spread of the Gospel. I'd like to share with you some updates below.

We praise God for allowing us to introduce more people to this great training! Pastor E promoted the ministry among 17 people for a potential new class (left pic). Pastor E also held a Teacher Training Workshop (TTW) with 11 attendees at a local church (right pic). We praise God that eight are now our new partners. | | |

"Greetings in the Almighty name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. I am a pastor in 2 churches and I thank God for this opportunity to learn proper biblical teaching for my pastoral life. I am being equipped in the Word of God through this CCI training. It has changed my life, teaching, preaching and I am growing spiritually. Therefore, I am thankful to the Lord for CCI classes and I am praying to be blessed more through this training."

Testimony from Bangladesh | | |
|
"We say that God is “good and kind” towards us always and in every way. I've been training with the CCI team for the last three years through the CCI curriculum. The training is a blessing for my ministry. Your everyday prayer support brings a significant benefit to our Church Planting Ministry. The Regional Director for India Subcontinent Countries, the CCI President, and a CCI student, came from the USA to Bangladesh last year to facilitate the God's Financial Principles (GFP) Seminar and visit our churches. The footsteps of the CCI team blessed me to build a new church building for the church where I can train and disciple the members. We have received prayer support as well as financial support from the CCI team for building the church. We express our sincere gratitude to all who joined the team and gave financial support."

Testimony from a student in North India | | |

"Hello, greetings in Jesus’ name. I want to thank God for all of you who have supported me as I completed CCI classes in North India. I was able to learn so many awesome new things, like how to preach, teach, train others and make disciples. By the grace of God, I am going to be graduating next month. Please pray for me and my family. Once again, thank you so much for the opportunity and support to have such wonderful Bible courses for my life."

"The CCI training is helping me to understand and it explains God’s Word more clearly. This is a very fruitful and refreshing time for me to dig in His word. Now, I confidently can share His Word in an expository way. I believe this is very beneficial for our church."
