IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

Kingdom of God Rising

Greetings Ministry Partners,

God continues to send pastors and church leaders for CCI training. In Luke 13:20, Jesus asks the question. “Unto what shall I liken the kingdom of God?” In the answer, there is a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal. Leaven spreads and leaven rises. Likewise, the kingdom spreads and the kingdom rises. The work takes a person(s). People are vital to the work. God uses people to accomplish His work in building His kingdom.

For the work, we are training workers who will disciple others. God’s Word will continue to spread because this ministry is training workers. All two thousand of them will take the leaven into their own cultures. Help me advance this work by contributing to the mission in the Indian Subcontinent. I pray and thank God for all ministry partners!

Sincerely,

CCI Indian Subcontinent Regional Director

Pakistan

To protect these believers from persecution in this country, their full names & exact locations are not disclosed.

Each nation is using the CCI curriculum, which consists of 10 courses. Each person must have a course book. You can donate HERE to help.

The National Director conducted a seminar on God’s Financial Principles with 80 participants. It was a blessed time! Look at the second photo of a CCI graduate who has planted a church. Right from the start, he has already begun using it as a hub to train pastors and leaders. He gets it!

The National Director conducted a Teacher Training Workshop. Two classes of 18 leaders have formed so that they can grow in their knowledge of God and engage in effective ministry.

Testimony from Pakistan

"Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. I have served the Lord as a pastor for the last 20 years. I lacked knowledge of the Bible. Now, I am 50 years old. By the grace of God, the CCI class has taught me very good doctrine through biblical education. The teaching was excellent, and I learned to teach and preach. It is a very blessed teaching for my spiritual life! Since graduation, I have been running three churches, which God has given me to shepherd. In a month or so, I will start CCI classes in my churches. I thank the Lord for CCI Pakistan."

Bangladesh

Pastor S oversees 23 classes with eight teachers while Pastor D, the Area Coordinator, oversees another five classes. There are a total of 252 students in training.

Teacher M enjoys teaching. The picture shows a group of nine students in one of his three classes. Teacher R teaches two classes with 24 students.

Five new classes have started. We praise God for that! The first course, Bible Study Methods and Rules of Interpretation, is always eye-opening. Course 1 is a building block to help a disciple interpret Scripture correctly.

Testimony from Bangladesh

"I am a servant of God. I have been privileged to work with a Bible translation group, dedicating my time to bringing God's Word into the heart language of my people. My journey in faith and ministry has been deeply strengthened through the Bible training under the CCI Ministry. I had the opportunity to grow in biblical knowledge and leadership.

After graduating, I felt the Lord calling me to share what I had learned with others. I am now equipping a class of six students with a deeper understanding of God's Word so they can also serve effectively in their communities. My wife, also a CCI graduate, stands beside me. We serve the youth and children together in our community. God has also entrusted us with the responsibility of facilitating Sunday services regularly to encourage and strengthen fellow believers. Through this journey, I have seen God's faithfulness and transformation in my own life and those I teach.

I am truly blessed and grateful for the opportunity to serve as a teacher in the CCI ministry. The training has not only deepened my understanding of Scripture but has also empowered me to lead and disciple others effectively. I pray that God will continue to use me, my family, and my students to spread His truth and build His Kingdom. All glory to God!"

India

Two new classes have started: one with Brother Vijay in Telangana and another in Punjab with Brother A.

Brother Roy had a group of students graduate through CCI training on February 6. In Punjab, a Teacher Training Workshop was conducted by the Area Coordinator to show the leaders an effective process for discipleship which they could easily implement.

In Odisha, Course 4, Preaching Biblical Messages and Pastoral Ministry, is being taught in seven centers. In Andhra Pradesh, an Area Coordinator (Brother Paul) and his team are training all pastors in various locations.

Testimony from India

"I am a student in Punjab State, and I am grateful to Pastor L and Pastor M for teaching us God's Word. Through their guidance, I have learned the importance of Jesus' command in Matthew 28:18-19, 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.'

The pastor is teaching us many new things from the Scriptures, which we are applying in our lives and sharing with others. I am especially thankful for the study materials and teachings provided. Please keep us in your prayers so we can continue this study without any obstacles and complete it faithfully. May God help us pass on what we learn to others as well."

Nepal

Teachers K and T taught Bible Doctrine, Course 5, together for an impactful time. Teacher P and a volunteer teacher taught Course 9, Church History.

Bhutan

We have to count small victories when it comes to training in a closed country. Pray for the training amongst bold leaders. May disciples be made as the Word is taught freely.

Sri Lanka

The coordinator took an overnight train in order to conduct a Teacher Training Workshop the following day with 20 pastors and leaders. Pray for dedicated leadership to make disciples of their churches and communities.

Testimony from Sri Lanka

"I am thankful that Pastor A could come to our region. Great teaching was provided to our servants through the Teacher Training Workshop. Indeed, it will help them fulfill the Great Commission. We are grateful to God for the dedication of time and effort to assist us in the task. We are delighted to work together with you to obey the commands of Jesus Christ. Thank you!"
