Focusing on Discipleship
We thank God for expanding the CCI mission in Thailand in August. If we are faithfully doing our part, I believe that God can accomplish this expansion.

Thank God for the education of teachers in Chiang Rai by a group of experienced God's servants who are also responsible for the organization to take care of many churches. Many of these people have served the Lord for over 30 years. I had the opportunity to sit down with them. After they were trained as teachers, they said that in the past their pastoral life was only looking for numbers, regeneration, and miracles that quickly responded to their needs. They admitted that they did not invest in teaching the Bible to focus on discipleship. Today, it is a challenge to find someone to take over the mission of their churches. But after they had been trained as an instructor, it gave them hope that they will train others who will devote themselves to teaching and making disciples, who in turn, will foster the next generation to follow their missions.
This month, we thank God that we have three new classes. This is the Khmu tribal brothers class. It was the first class for this tribe to be trained. This group of brothers and sisters live in many countries in Asia including China, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand as a large group. But they lacked the development and training to be God's workers. Their religion is animism, not Buddhism like most Thai people.
The second group is a group in Phayao Province, where Pastor Siriwat teaches. There are 15 students who are church leaders. Pastor Siriwat has gathered leaders in the area who come from many churches. Some churches in the area do not have a regular pastor. So this is their hope; that they will be better equipped and skilled to serve God.
This is the third class. After having trained teachers in the area two months ago, this group began for leaders in the south. There are about 28 students, who are leaders passionate about serving the Lord and ministering in the area.
We thank God for opening new classes this month by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Thank you all for praying for the expansion of God's work in Thailand.

With love and sincerity,
Kittikun Meetang
CCI Thailand National Director
Testimony
“I was invited by Pastor Praphon to join a CCI class. The CCI teachings gave me the knowledge and wisdom of God in my life. I had a greater understanding of the Word of God through a systematic lesson. The steps are easy to understand and to implement. The lessons can also be used in teaching and preaching. It is a tool that I would like to thank God for and I would like to thank CCI for training and developing servants of God. I believe that God will bless more servants of God through this training to be God's workers, to expand His mission and make disciples in the church to grow until they are good disciples of God, which are in accordance with the great commandment of God in Matthew 28:19-20: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Finally, I would like to ask the Lord to bless CCI to grow and expand its mission to all people on earth. God bless you."
