Harvesting Souls

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field”

Matthew 9:38   

Greetings Ministry Partner,


What we have learned from our seminar "Church Planting Essentials" is that the Word above reminds us again that we should cry out to the Lord to send out more workers into the harvest field. Yes, Laos is the land of hungry people for God. It seems like the harvest field is ready to harvest, but we have fewer workers. As a CCI worker, God calls me to this role. I realize that while I cry out to the Lord to send out the workers, I ask Him for help and guidance. As the leader in the field, I must make disciples who will make more disciples.


Last month we had two days conducting a TTW with 9 specific participants. While we were conducting this, all our coordinators and their couples joined this event, and all 9 people signed an agreement to be CCI teachers and have plans to open classes. After the TTW finished, we sent them home and continued for another two days to conduct Leadership Training. We were blessed and learned new things from each other. We reviewed our goals and reminded each other to fulfill our vision and reach our goals.


I am grateful for the supporters and CCI leaders who gave us the opportunity to have the DCPI training in Thailand, led by CCI Regional Director Joseph Kontz, Bill Cosgrove, myself, and two young men. Our new students attended the training, were blessed, and learned great lessons that we may teach our team and our students on how to fulfill the Great Commission by planting the church of Jesus Christ.

We appreciate you, your prayers and support.

Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI) training in Thailand on 04/22-26/2024:

Testimony

"Greetings, I am a second-generation CCI student of Pastor S. Before this, I didn’t quite understand what I read from the Bible, wasn't confident in myself, and never thought to teach others. However, after I decided to participate in the CCI class, I have gained a greater understanding and confidence to share the gospel with people and teach small groups in my church. I would like to express my gratitude to CCI for providing me with knowledge about the sound doctrine of the Bible that I can apply in my life and use to serve others."
