The CCI Fall Tour Has Ended

Greetings Ministry Partner,

The CCI team finished the tour of eastern US which we started in September. It was challenging, hard work, and lots of fun. We visited churches and individuals in Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia in October. I praise and thank God for the great response from the churches. We also visited the headquarters of Crown Financial Ministries and of Bible Training Centre for Pastors. I learned from this Tour that what really matters is not how talented or how smart we are, but how faithful we are in serving God. I hope that somehow we were able to encourage and challenge the people that we met to continue serving God even during turbulent times.

Five students were awarded certificates for finishing the God’s Financial Principles seminar at Life Resources Foundation in Iligan City. Please pray that they will manage their finances with biblical wisdom and become good stewards of what God has provided.

We appreciate your prayers and support.

Testimony

Pastor Narding Ranas, CCI teacher in Bohol:

Pastor Ranas is a retired public school principal. He was in the government service for over 30 years. His retirement did not stop his desire to learn how he could serve the Lord more effectively. He and his wife finished CCI training in 2017. Now, at 72+ years, he is still very active in the ministry, going out and sharing the gospel in spite of his age. He shares the gospel with at least 100 policemen and barangay (village) officials, and other citizens in his town each month. According to Pastor Ranas, his CCI training helps him to do this. He said, “There are many common physical ‘discouragements’, but I will continue to do this because it is the least I can do for my Master. I will only stop when body can’t go on anymore."
