Year in Review: Read Compelling Accomplishments of Your Ministry Partnership
The Clock is Ticking on “DOUBLE IT” - to radically expand God’s Kingdom
Greetings!

Let’s celebrate what Jesus, the Light of the World who conquered spiritual darkness, did through YOUR partnership in the Gospel – thank you.

As we look back on 2021, I think of the word GROWTH. Crossing Cultures International grew as a ministry. Consider what Team CCI experienced thanks to you:
  • Almost 1,000 newly equipped multipliers!!
  • 85 new classes
  • 31 graduations comprising of 467 students
  • 20 new coordinators added to the existing 75 coordinators
  • New Training tool developed -- The Cross Before the Crown: 7 Pictures of Christian Leadership based on 2 Timothy 2
Growth is wonderful, but it occurs one transformed and equipped life at a time. I think of a CCI student and future multiplier I met recently in Albania named Rrustrem. He emphasized, “By sending you, God used you to wake us from our sleep. I look forward to attending again in the future.”

Although 2021 began with massive uncertainty, as 2022 approaches, there are encouraging signs. Covid-19 seems to be in decline, and countries are opening again. In September, I started traveling again and visited Albania. The Lord also opened the doors for us to a new country—heavily Islamic Turkey! Plans are being made for travel again after the New Year to India and Albania. A team from Berlin First Baptist Church in Berlin, Maryland, will be assisting with training in Albania.

All of this happened with the blessing of God and your partnership with CCI.

In 2020, we began the DOUBLE IT campaign. The VISION is to double our ministry multipliers from 10,000 to 20,000 multipliers. With our continual focus on multiplication (2 Timothy 2:2) and God’s blessing, we now have almost 14,000 multipliers – graduates serving in many capacities from children’s workers to church planters.
In Albania, Rrustem, a CCI student, shared, "By sending you, God used you to wake us from our sleep.”
In Vijayawada, India, 21 students graduated after two and half years of studying.
So we are vigorously continuing to pursue the vision of 20,000 multipliers. To reach this goal we need your investment. And now you can DOUBLE the impact of your investment.

Through a matching gift of $46,000 from special friends of the ministry, every gift made to our DOUBLE IT campaign will be doubled up to $46,000 until matched or through December 31st. As we approach the Christmas season, please prayerfully consider a generous investment for the work of God through CCI.

You can help change the world through your investment to CCI one equipped multiplying leader at a time!

Thank you and have a joyous Christmas and New Year.

Grace and peace,
David Nelson
