October 2021 Highlights
Greetings!

Praise the Lord for who He is, His protection and provision this month. There was not much teaching activity last month either. Most of the classes in the lower area are not yet ready to start due to restrictions ordered by the military regime. Only a few classes started and they are doing fine. However, most of the students and teachers are taking part in humanitarian service. They had chances to share the love of God to people around their areas and to help the sick.

I had a regular online class with four students and who have now finished book 10. They were so blessed and motivated by the course. Below is one of their testimonies.
 
I led a God's Financial Principles (GFP) seminar online to 15 ministry leaders from different places. One pastor from the last batch of GFP in Kachin state also led the same seminar in a way he could due to several limitations. I also heard that many alumni led the seminar in their own ways. Praise the Lord!

We have an online prayer meeting every month. We all face the same problems and insecurity with different restrictions under different local leaders. However, the teams and their family members are doing good and strong in the Lord and looking for ways to expend the ministry in prayer.

Pastor B was Covid positive for over three weeks and is still weak physically. He and his family are planning to go back into the mission field before Christmas.

Pastor M is not safe to go back home yet. Although hiding in the farm, he can minister in three villages nearby and through his evangelistic effort over 20 committed their lives to Christ and 3 persons got water baptism. God is working even in the midst of crisis!

Thank you to all my supporters and those who have contributed to praying for me, my team and family. Thank you for your faithfulness to God.

CCI Myanmar National Director
Testimony
From a CCI Class student
"We just finished book 10. This course helps me understand more about the main responsibility of the church such as sending people into mission, evangelism, making disciples. I see detailed do's and dont's on how to reach different beliefs with the Good News. I can clearly see the needs of my church and my responsibility as a church pastor is to train them. It is a very helpful tool for my spiritual life and the ministry as well."
Pastor R
The CCI Myanmar staff is finding creative ways to promote the CCI Ministry:

  • Rev. M was able to minister and share about CCI to two churches while hiding in the jungle for over five months by using CCI materials.

  • Mr. H shared about the ministry to some church leaders in Bhamo while working in Covid-related humanitarian service.

  • Pastor K shared about the ministry while teaching a GFP for 15 ministry leaders.
Prayer Requests & Praises

  • Praise God for safety and provision.
  • Pray for a speed reduction of Myanmar crisis such as Covid-19, Military regime attack and economy.
  • Pray for the CCI-Myanmar teams to be strong in the Lord, ministry and training classes as well.
  • Pray for teachers and students who are committed in soul winning wholeheartedly.
  • Prayers for the need of a vehicle for Covid response to help and protect people, as we don’t have a government to protect our people. So, me and many other leaders came together and formed a group to rescue the people. We have received $10,000 already this past month from churches and individual friends. We only need US$5,000. Our target is to buy before the end of this year.
  • Pray for the churches to be faithful in training labors for the harvest.
  • Pray for Pastor B's health as he is just recovering from Covid19.
  • Pray for our new believers.
  • Pray for our alumni who are involved in Church ministry.
  • Pray for Pastor B's family and their journey back to the mission field in December.
