Fellowship

"Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing."

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Dear Ministry Partner,

February was a fellowship month for me because I could do two fellowships with teachers and study participants. From these two fellowships, I met with several students who stopped studying in 2022, but they will return to class because they realized that the non-formal CCI classes are very effective in aiding their spiritual growth. They are pastors who are busy with ministry, but they feel spiritual dryness when they don't study. Even in CCI study classes, they can interact with other participants, who are different denominations, who study together and have the same point of view in interpreting and applying God's Word. Situations like this are missed because they are rarely found in fellowship that is held by church institutions in their city. I am very grateful because I can see the impact of learning on fellow servants of God who take part in CCI classes.

We conducted a Teacher training Workshop (TTW) with 4 participants representing different ministries. The initial plan of this activity will be followed by six participants, but two participants cannot attend because of the impromptu activities carried out by their local church. Pray that the four prospective teachers immediately open a new CCI class. This activity was facilitated by Pastor Zetmin Duma, the Balabatu class and Minake class teacher. This is the second time he facilitated a workshop. In this workshop, I introduced CCI and our curriculum and during the workshop, I gave Pastor Rahmat the opportunity, as the coordinator for this area, Pastor Zetmin and Pastor Daniael Pua Padang, who were CCI class teachers, to take turns teaching the workshop session. At the end of the workshop, we all gathered to conduct evaluations, provide encouragement and correction and convey that they can carry out preparations so that the delivery of the material can be maximized, because in the future they will lead the workshop and seminar without me accompanying them.

Thank you for your prayers and your support,

Update

Praise God because at the beginning of February, I was given the opportunity to visit West Papua with two main agendas:

Board Meeting

We had a successful board meeting in Manokwari. The supervisors agreed to continue to evaluate the vision of CCI Indonesia to assist me in achieving our goals, to support CCI Indonesia financially and prayfully, and to assist with officially registering CCI Indonesia notary deed.

Visited Bumi Marina Class

I made a fellowship visit with study participants and teachers in Manokwari. I motivated them to return to learning and was willing to update class meetings every week so that I, as the Director of CCI Indonesia, could find out the progress of the class. During the fellowship, Pastor Karel Laleb made a suggestion that the CCI books be revised and edited for greater clarity. He also suggested that it would be a good idea to hold a conference for teachers in Indonesia so that there would be friendship between teachers, and teachers could also share experiences, both joy and sorrow, in leading their learning classes.

Prayer Requests & Praises

Grateful for the "Board of Trustees" meeting, which was held for 2 days in Manokwari, West Papua.

Grateful for the workshop carried out in Balabatu Mamasa.

Pray for the 15 CCI teachers from Indonesia who would like to attend the CCI Global Conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand in November 2023. Although they can provide some funds personally, this group still needs a total of $3,750 for their airplane tickets. If you feel led to help us get to the CCI Global Conference, please click HERE.

Pray for partners and key people in North Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and East Kalimantan who are willing to work with CCI Indonesia in training and multiplying leaders.
