IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

New Beginning - New Year - New Team

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; ….”

Isaiah 43:18,19

Greetings Ministry Partners,

We started the new year with an online staff prayer meeting on January 3. On January 10 and 11, we also conducted a team meeting with all of CCI India. We had a wonderful time with our Regional Director and all Indian staff, including Bro. Vinod from Haryana, Bro. Bankit from Shillong, Bro. L from Punjab, Bro. Rakesh from Bihar and all the staff in Telangana and Andhra.

We started the meeting on January 10 with the seminar, The Cross Before the Crown, which contains seven pictures of leadership that Paul gave to young Timothy. On the second day, we had a wonderful time of fellowship among all the Indian staff, and the Indian team was encouraged by the training in the 5 Best Practices of the CCI Ministry.

During these seminars, 18 CCI India staff members met. Both days were a time of reunion and fellowship among the CCI Indian Team. On Sunday, January 12, the Regional Director shared the message on Ephesians 3 in Mt. Hermon Baptist Church. The church was encouraged to share the gospel for God's glory throughout the year.

I praise God for the two new classes that started in January. Our graduate, Bro. Achari started a new church leaders' class in Ambedkar with 12 students. Another batch of students who graduated in December wanted to complete all 10 books, so they also started a new class.

All the CCI teachers and staff are faithfully fulfilling their God-given responsibility and are committed to increasing the CCI ministry in India. Please continue to pray. 

We appreciate your prayers and support.

Vijay Kumar

CCI India National Director

Our graduate, Bro. Achari started a new class in Ambedkar with 12 students. 

Seven students who graduated from CCI training for church leaders in December started a new class because they wanted to complete the training of all ten books.

All the classes in Telangana are conducted regularly by the CCI teachers. Below are some photos of the classes.

The classes in Andhra are conducted regularly for pastors, evangelists, and believers in different cities – Vijayawada, Piduguralla, Nandhigama, and Kondapalli of Andhra Pradesh. Below are some of the classes conducted in Andhra by coordinator Bro. Paul and his team of teachers.

Bro. Vinod taught Book 3 on the New Testament Survey to 27 students.

Odisha State

The classes in Odisha are conducted regularly for both pastors and church leaders across the Rayagada, Sundargarh, Nabarangpur, and Sambalpur areas of Odisha. There are a total of 11 classes, with 173 students in training, and they are taught by six teachers in different regions of Odisha state. These are some of the class photos.

The classes in Punjab are regularly conducted for students. There are 19 teachers taking classes under our area coordinator's leadership and 103 students in training now. 

"Praise The Lord—greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My name is Pastor Achari, and I am from Hyderabad, Telangana State, India. I thank God for the wonderful privilege that God has given me to start the CCI classes on my church premises. One of the CCI teachers encouraged me to start these classes to learn the Bible systematically. I started this class in June 2022, and six others have joined. Our teacher has taught all the classes, and as a pastor, I now understand the importance of training. We (seven students) have attended the classes regularly and graduated from the training in December 2024.

After our graduation, the Lord led me to start a new class so others could learn God's Word. In January, our national director, Bro. Vijay conducted an orientation class for the new students. With God's help, 12 students joined the new class at my church. Please continue to pray for these new students. Pray that they will become faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. I praise God for the CCI ministry and will be praying for the entire team of CCI ministry."
