January 2022 Highlights

Growing in response to God's will
while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Hebrews 2:4
God is doing amazing things in the CCI Thailand ministry this month. We know that human beings have limitations, but we are confident that God is leading the CCI ministry in Thailand. The first Christian couples in Thailand were born over 200 years ago from the American missionary's journey to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and establish a hospital. After that, more and more followers of Jesus Christ began.

But proclaiming the salvation of Jesus in Thailand is not easy, because traditional religions are deeply embedded in the culture and way of life of Thai people. And even today, I believe that the followers are less than 1 million per population of 72 million, but we can see the grace of God. The Lord has mercy on Thai people, by bringing in more believers and followers of Jesus Christ, although not as many as expected.

Praise the Lord that we have had the opportunity in 2021 to proclaim the salvation of Jesus Christ and lead over 600 people to welcome Jesus into their lives. Through the cooperation of local churches, CCI teachers provide CCI Bible training through the local pastor and leaders. Praise the Lord the CCI mission is to prepare and multiply those who work in ministry of the Lord.
Praise God that every year we have people dedicated to Bible training to prepare them for effective ministry. This month, we were delighted to see 15 people complete Bible training from a local church in Chiang Mai. I have had the opportunity to speak with many of the people who have undergone this training. Most of them found that Bible training is important for the role of deacons in church leadership because they must be leaders to drive the mission in the church to be rightly based on the word of God and to grow in response to God's will through the local church. When the church is driven by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then the church makes disciple of God's workers and expands His kingdom.
May God bless everyone and keep you safe.

With love and sincerity,
Kittikun Meetang
CCI Thailand National Director
Testimony

My name is Serum Mapei. First of all, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to learn and know God's word, and thanks to CCI for preparing the course for the underprivileged to study Bible. And thanks to the teachers who have patience and humility in teaching and explaining in detail so that all students have a deep understanding. I am a non-biblical knowledge person who uses labor to support myself by general hire. But I would like to testify after I have taken the CCI course until the 8th book. I had 3 stories before I came to the CCI class which was

1) I never read the Bible because I didn't know why I had to. But after I took the CCI course, I learned that Bible students or believers in Jesus Christ need spiritual food. As a result, I started to read more of the scriptures according to the curriculum and read it every day, which made me spiritually strong and able to overcome obstacles smoothly in my life.

2) Before I started this course, I did not know how to pray when faced with adversity or sorrow. But today I know how to pray. Every day my troubles were given to God to fix, and I knew how to thank God in every situation and be happy in God.

3) Another thing, before I came to the CCI course, I rarely gave tithes so I didn't have enough money for my daily life, but after I learned from the scriptures according to the CCI course, it made me realize that tithes belong to the Lord and I have a generous feeling as I give every tithe of the Lord and sometimes more than a tithe.

Today I have received peace that God has given me. I thank God, thank you CCI, thank the Director of Thailand, and thank you to the teachers.
