The Last Story of year of 2021
Faces blurred and names/locations altered to protect identities
Greetings!

In this update for the last month of 2021, I would like to share with you a story from our Hmong teacher’s family of how they overcame the difficulties during the last year.
Pastor S, who is living in southern Vietnam is a pastor of a church. He graduated from CCI’s class in 2019. He is now one of our teachers for the Hmong people. One of the difficulties that families are experiencing during the epidemic season is their children's education. Due to social distancing, children have to study at home. Their family does not have enough equipment such as a cellphone or laptop for their studies and the internet connection is very difficult. However, the things to praise God for that He provides daily is for food and safety. So far, there has been no one that has had Covid in his family, nor in his church.

We are glad to hear news that elementary schools will reopen in February 2022. May God protect our children as they return to schools. Going to school is the best way for our children to learn since we don't have enough connection and tools to learn online.

CCI Hmong Teacher

Testimonies
From a CCI New Student:
"Thanks to God for the opportunity to study CCI’s program. By the devoted instruction of teachers and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I become closer to the Word of God and I understand God more. Being a businesswoman, I am so busy and it is hard to join any bible class. But with some encouragement, I decided to join this class. Praise God for all of the teaching. I am so encouraged and I recognized that studying God’s word is my honor. My studying will be a long journey, but I believe that it will be exciting and worthy to spend time and effort to be equipped and trained for personal growth and ministry."

From a CCI Graduate:
"I would like to thank God and the teachers for more than two years under God’s protection during the pandemic and instruction of teachers. Eventually, we finished all the courses.

I was a normal Christian. I did not care to read the bible and I lived selfishly. In 2019, I decided to join the CCI class near me. I learned many lessons from this class. My attitude toward God’s word, people, and myself had changed. I started to care for nonbelievers, new believers, other Christians, and my family. By God’s grace, I am currently taking care of a small group of new believers in my house."

Prayer Requests & Praises

  • Pray for CCI classes for the Hmong people to restart soon. Many students can't connect to the internet, so we can't hold classes during the lock-down.

  • Pray that God provides the needs of Hmong teachers who are driving a long way from village to village to teach.

  • In 2022, we are going to start new classes for the Jarai people and the Hmong tribe. Please pray for God’s provision and protection.

  • Two of partners in south central Vietnam and northern Vietnam are going to start new classes this new year, hopefully after the lunar new year this February.
