Dear Prayer Partner,

Thank you for your investment in praying for the ministry of CCI. 

Here are this week's prayer requests and praises.

HAITI

Recent events in Haiti continue to demonstrate the chaos and danger involved in living and traveling there. The State Department used a DO NOT TRAVEL warning earlier this month. As a result, David Nelson and Ric Hesse, Regional Director of North America, canceled their plans to travel there in January for the graduation in Cap Haitian. Please pray for the staff, students, and teachers in Haiti; they need protection and provision to continue the work God has called them.

The two new staff in Haiti each co-led a TTW workshop in November. Three new classes are planned to start in regions where CCI had little activity. Please pray that these newly minted teachers are equipping their students to be effective ministers of God's Word.

THAILAND

Praise to God for the three Teacher Training Workshops (TTWs) that were held in Phayao Province, Nan Province, and for the first time in the eastern region of Thailand, Rayong Province. We thank God for our area team of coordinators who prepared this training. We pray that those who attended become more effective and have a more productive ministry.

Praise God for the 45 teachers whom we plan to train and for another six CCI classes that will be opened later this month. Please pray for students and teachers to receive the strength that comes from God.

EAST AFRICA

Bob Loeffler has been developing a couple of national leaders in East Africa to help equip many pastors who have had very little or no formal training in the Word of God or practical ministry. Most pastors in East African countries do not have access to Bible colleges or seminaries. Thus, they are open to teaching false doctrines and leading their congregations into heresy. As our new Regional Director for East Africa, Bob will be God’s instrument to help them learn to rightly divide the Word of God. Please remember him in your prayers.

Pray for support for his two coordinators as they are doing the hard work. They also need travel expenses. Please pray that the Lord will provide.

Pray that God will lead people to help provide scholarships to those in Uganda and Rwanda to purchase study books. It can be a challenge as poverty is rampant, and we expect them to buy the books (at less than our cost).

Pray for Bob's future trips to South Sudan and Uganda in April/May. Then, to the CCI Global Conference in Thailand and Uganda in November.
