Find out STUNNING 2021 progress - YOUR partnership and the DOUBLE IT goal!
CCI Targeting Unreached People Groups and Closed Nations to Jesus
Your Giving is Helping this Equipped Multiplying Leader to Do So
Greetings!

As you helped supercharge the launch of our DOUBLE IT campaign at the end of 2020, we wanted to update you with what your giving has accomplished and give all praise to God. Amid a global pandemic where intense suffering has increased, not decreased like here in the United States, CCI leaders continue to increase as well.
 
Further, we want to unveil an exciting new chapter of focus – UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS – more below – in our mission to equip and multiply leaders globally.

Our DOUBLE IT vision is to double the number of equipped multiplying leaders globally from just over 10,000 last year to 20,000 as soon as possible. As of this writing, with the blessing of God, we have now attained 13,892 trained church leaders – way faster than anticipated – thanks to your partnership.
Additionally, through God’s provision of your generosity, we were able to take on 20 new coordinators this year that we highlighted this spring. A recent move of God has occurred to focus our DOUBLE IT efforts – these new coordinators are often focusing on largely UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS. According to the Joshua Project, there are 17,410 people groups in 236 nations, with 7,398 classified as “unreached peoples” with their own language and culture.
 
An UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUP means they have very little or no access to hearing the gospel in a personal way, nor have a Bible available in their own language.

I want to introduce you to one of these new coordinators, Mr. B, who is equipping leaders in Western Nepal. Mr. B was born into a Hindu family where his father was often sick and went to witch doctors for help. However, ironically, but providentially, the witch doctors recommended he go to a local church to find help. Through prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, he was delivered from a lengthy bondage of sickness.
 
Mr. B’s father wanted his son to follow Christ to his fullest. After some years of personal sin and struggle, Mr. B graduated from a 4-year Bible College. “After I graduated Bible College, I came back to my old community to serve Jesus and His people (including establishing a true Gospel church).”
 
He further elaborated, “In 2021, I was approached about joining Crossing Cultures International, which is a great opportunity for me to equip and empower both local leaders and pastors through this great teaching.” Mr. B serves along with his wife, son and daughter.

Face blurred to protect identity
Through coordinators like Mr. B overseeing new classes, the CCI ministry continues to grow and expand into new areas of Unreached People Groups. We didn’t have space to introduce you to others working in hostile Muslim regions, as well as coordinators translating our materials into different languages.
 
Mr. B, and the others, also demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of CCI’s model – training folks from their own nation to reach those best equipped to navigate cultures, customs and taboos for Christ versus the great expense of bringing in missionaries from the West.

Our goal of engaging local believers with God in His Great Commission is being fulfilled. Please continue to pray that God will provide for us to take on more new coordinators in 2022.
 
Here’s another “Double” eternal investment opportunity for you to take advantage of in 2021 and make an even more significant investment for the kingdom. We have had special ministry partners provide a matching gift challenge of $26,000 to get this kick-started. That means for every dollar given between now and December 31st, your gift to CCI will effectively double until we reach our match goal.

I would greatly appreciate your prayerful consideration of these spiritual investment opportunities to double your gift and your continued partnership in ministry.
 
In Christ, the best is always yet to come.
 
Wishing you a blessed and safe Thanksgiving season,
 
Grace and Peace,


David Nelson
President & Founder
