Intentional

Dear Ministry Partner,


Thinking about the Kingdom of God? It is like a mustard seed which would grow into a big tree. This communicates that the Kingdom of God is bigger than we think. It also, means that we benefit from what God has already done. The Kingdom of God is for all of us and not because we deserve it. God is so good to us!


I praise God for this time in our lives. My daughter has turned 6 years old and is thriving. I’m one proud dad. This month, I have intentionally been glad and thought myself happy. When people think less of me, I read the Word and recall the promises of God. Then there’s the precious people who have chosen to be in my life and a part of my family’s lives. My life is really all about relationships. I couldn’t imagine not having people I could call and meet with. In this season, I’m still open for more. God is reminding me to stay open to His plan and His people, two main components of the Kingdom of God.

Will you help support the RD of the ISC?

Pakistan

Pastor Ejaz is teaching Course 3 to church leaders in southern Pakistan.

Below is Pastor Q with the CCI class in the north and Pastor Em with church leader students in northern Pakistan. Both are teaching Course 1.

A new class orientation was held in the northeast where 35 were in attendance and in another northeast town where 25 attended.

Testimony from a student in Pakistan

"Greetings. By the grace of God I am student of CCI. It is my first experience that I am getting proper biblical education. It’s amazing training for me that I am growing in the Word of God with many new things learned and growing spiritually. I give thanks to the Lord for this blessed CCI training."



 - Pastor M

Bangladesh

Dhiren’s ministry is to these tribal people. He is also handling the first Bible translation for the Paharia people. This class orientation was successful, as pastors, leaders, and youth leaders want training.

Testimonies from Bangladesh

This is Mr. N. He is a regular student of a CCI Bible training from a local church. He has been studying in college also. Mr. N is a new believer and from the beginning has been a very punctual student of CCI training. He is the only one who accepted Jesus Christ as Savior in his family. He has a commitment to God to use him to bring his family members to Christ. He attended the GFP seminar too. God blessed him as an answer to prayer so that through equipping, he can conquer the darkness in his community for Jesus Christ.


Last December, he took initiatives to arrange a Christmas Program among the unreached people and about 20 new family members attended. We will need a baptism service for the people that Mr. N is bringing to know Christ. We are really grateful to God that the CCI training is equipping us to grow the ministry through these students in Bangladesh. Mr. N says as he prays for his family members regularly, “The training is transforming me and bringing new life to dedicate more time to make disciples in my community. I’ll surrender myself only to Jesus Christ." We are thankful to God and CCI for the continued impact in our areas.

"I came to Jesus from a tribal community. I’m married and I have a daughter and a son. Without training, I have been pastoring our church, since our church pastor passed away, because we had no one to take pastoral responsibility at that time in our small church. I’m also a student of CCI and now I’m in course 3: New Testament Survey. The first book, Bible Study Methods, is very helpful to me in how to study the Bible; observation, interpretation and application. The course also helped me to deliver the message and teach in the church. Course 3 is helping me to understand more about Jesus, Jesus’ disciples, and the first century Christians. Now, I understand that God has chosen me for His glory. I can reach more people and train them properly so they can train others. CCI training has changed my life and is helping me to grow spiritually and makes me strive for the Gospel. Now I’m strongly preparing, day by day, for the Lord’s coming. I’m also grateful to God and also CCI for this training. After I finish the course, I would like to join with CCI and work for the Lord. Thanks a lot CCI for equipping me with comprehensive training for effective ministry."

- Mr. P

North India

Husband and wife training their own groups. Right after graduation new students are ready. They are feeding the hungry.

The teachers pictured below are growing in the Word of God as well as training others.

Our Certified Trainer is implementing the CCI ministry in a new area in the north of India.

Testimony from a student in North India

"Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I thank God that I have been able to learn many deep things through this CCI course in northern India. Pastor Peter has been teaching us diligently and trying to help us understand each subject. Also, I thank those who love me and give me an opportunity to learn at own pace without going far away from my home town. I will continue learning such wonderful things during this course because it is very interesting. Please pray for me that I may be able to teach others after successfully completing the training."

 - Mr. M 

UAE

Pastor Masih is a CCI Certified Trainer in the western part of United Arab Emirates. He is conducting two classes:

Nepal

A God's Financial Principles (GFP) Seminar was held in the southeast with 35 attendees. Also, another GFP was held in the south with 70 participants.

The CCI class in central Nepal is learning Course 3: New Testament Survey and the CCI class in another central district is learning Course 7: Church Ministry.

Testimonies from Nepal

"The GFP seminar is very practical and was needed to be taught in our churches and to our family. Not only is it needed inside the church and Christian community, but also non-Christian communities. The financial crisis and misunderstandings has destroyed many families and houses. The GFP helps us to understand how to use money and establish our family with godly principles."



- Pastor M

"From my Book 4 training, I not only gained knowledge but skills about how to prepare and deliver a good biblical message for church. It gave me more confidence and courage to share the message in church without doubt and confusion."

- Pastor D
