December 2021 Highlights
Greetings!

Praise to the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness so that we could celebrate the birthday of Jesus with limited time and a small group of people in the community. The celebration was done in open-air with social games, singing and dancing, all after 10 minutes of sharing the story of Christmas. Everyone received a Christmas gift provided by the church. We give thanks to the Lord for allowing us all to gather for almost two hours for the Christmas fellowship.
Community Christmas Celebration
We also remember our people who are grieving the loss of loved ones and properties, those who are fleeing the villages, and those who are suffering at the hands of military regime in our prayer. The photo below is an example of many of these as a result of fires. This picture shows the situation in Thantlang township (a town in Chin state). After the seventh burn, over 700 houses became ashes. As a result, people formed groups of Defense Forces, so the fighting continues and the number of fleeing people in secured areas increase day after day. This kind of attack moved one state to another across the land.
There is a second town where the people were forced to leave as bitter fighting came upon it. Many ran into the jungle, where several of our area leaders and teachers were and they took care of those people in need. One CCI area leader, Pastor M. took advantage in sharing the good news of Jesus and ten of them accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and made a public confession in water baptism.

Faces blurred to protect identities
The Crisis Response Team celebrated the awesome job that God had provided in 2021 with a dinner party. The communities were blessed by this service in person and through zoom fellowship. Our prayer is that God will continue to spare the city from war-zones so that we can visit more families to help physical needs and psychological issues.

Thank you for your prayers and your support,
CCI Myanmar National Director
