Meeting Needs & Finding Direction

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Dear Ministry Partner,

In September, I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you for the support given to us. I saw how God used this tour to meet my needs for my spirit, soul, and body. After finishing my presentation, many listeners came and said they would continue to pray for me. This is what I need because the more people who pray, the more God's work through the CCI Indonesia ministry will be spread. During prayer time, there was an attendee who conveyed a statement/vision when he was praying for the CCI team. He saw me standing on a plain where the ground was brown, but there was a light shining on me. I believe that God's presence is with me in my duties and responsibilities in Indonesia.

Thank you to all the families who supported us by taking us to enjoy fun at the recreation area during our downtime. My soul is satisfied. The fatigue and pressure in ministry paid off with jokes and laughter in every activity we did.

It doesn't stop there. I also received three days of training by the President, Vice President of CCI, and CCI staff. I am getting a clearer direction for my leadership in Indonesia. There are many procedures and ideas from other directors that I can adopt to be implemented in Indonesia.

In summary, I am very grateful that throughout September, along with CCI directors from seven countries in Southeast Asia, I was able to go on a tour by visiting corporate churches, families, and individuals who have provided support. Additionally, we met with many who are temporarily supporting CCI by allowing us to share our testimony with them. We have been blessed that many people have only recently become aware of CCI, and have shown support through their financial contributions and prayers.

Thank you for your prayers and your support,

Frids Lumba

Testimony From a Teacher

"My name is Ferdinal. I am a participant in the Rantepalado class who has completed learning using the CCI curriculum teaching materials. After studying, I felt burdened to teach others. The opportunity to teach was presented when around 15 people expressed their willingness to learn. This was a challenge for me as I have a speech impediment ("cleft"). I must admit that my words are not always clear, and some of the participants dropped out of the class. Nevertheless, I did not let that discourage me. I am thankful that I was able to successfully teach six participants who will also graduate with me in November. We should not be discouraged from working for God because of any disabilities that we may have."
