Pastor Melvin Mendina, a pastor and church planter in Camarines Sur:
"Before I joined the CCI training, I was not the leader type. But my character changed and I now serve with compassion and I always ask God for guidance in making decisions. I learned to study carefully the word of God and to teach it diligently for people to appreciate the Good News of Jesus Christ. The bible training also helped me in teaching the word of God systematically. By God’s grace, I gained more understanding on how to correctly interpret the bible and to teach it correctly in the church that I planted.
We faced different challenges while undergoing training, like typhoons where our professor had to cancel our class many times and the severe pandemic where we had to stop the class for a few months. But I thank God for His sustaining grace that we graduated last May 2021. To God be the Glory."
