Live & Walk by Faith 
Greetings!

As I read the Gospel of John with my family each morning, it reassures my faith. We get to know the Lord. I am so glad that Jesus is indeed who He says He is. There are deep-seated truths that help the man or woman of God live/walk by faith. 

In all, Jesus obeyed His Father’s will and embodied the Father’s heart. This is exactly what we are called to do now that we are being conformed to the image of God. 

I have this ministry as a result of faith in God and obedience. When I do not have enough, I must depend on God. When God does not seem near, I must trust that He is not far. When Jesus says “I am,” I must say you are. When the Word says, “I have overcome the world,” I must remember that it’s only by your blood and only by your power, Lord… Such tangible truths give me strength to live and walk by faith. 

Stroll through the newsletter and see all the marvelous things God is doing. Praise God with me!

Three CCI classes being led by Pastor E in Pakistan
Testimony from a student in Pakistan
"I am 40 years old and married with 3 children. Ten years ago, I was ordained as a pastor without any formal Bible training. When I heard about the CCI class, I immediately took action to join. I am learning so many things through this training. It is a totally new study for me and very helpful for my pastoral life. Training has enhanced my teaching and preaching. Thanks to the Lord that I am growing spiritually through this CCI class and growing in the Word of God! I am praying for CCI, that God blessed you all more for equipping and multiplying disciples."

Testimony from a student in Bangladesh
"I’m doing a job in missions and I also share the Gospel through medical service whenever I get a chance. I was born into a tribal family, I received Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord in 2006 and was baptized on November 22, 2008. A student told me about the CCI training. I began to communicate with the CCI Certified Trainer and shared my desire to join the class. He told me details about the training. My perception was that it was costly and I would need to live abroad for this course, but he explained to me that each person only pays for books. I was surprised! I can participate in class in my country and my place. Wow, it’s a great blessing for me! I’m studying Course 2, Old Testament Survey. I’m grateful to CCI for the chance to do this class. Through this class I’m learning to grow strong spiritually and it is encouraging me for the Great Commission. I pray that, by God’s grace, I will complete the CCI class and join with CCI as a teacher in my area."

"Praise the Lord! I thank God who has given me this opportunity to learn the living word of God. I thank my teacher and CCI that has started the teaching ministry in my area and providing these wonderful books in my own language. Praise God for His faithful servants who have been teaching in other places in and around my hometown. I desire to learn according to God and His ways. God bless you all."

The Online Leaders Group will begin Course 6: Personal Spiritual Life.
