IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

CCI's Impact on Odisha State

“And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”

-2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV)

Greetings Ministry Partners,

In July, there was a graduation in Odisha, and we praise God that the Area Coordinator, Biraj, traveled to attend the ceremony. Twenty students graduated after studying all 10 books in the Kotpad District of Odisha.

Brother Bardhan, the main teacher, has led and taught all these students for more than two years, and the impact of this class is wonderful. Many of these students included pastors, evangelists, and women who were trained by CCI. All these students testified that these 10 books have greatly prepared them for future ministry.

None of these pastors had the privilege of studying the Word or attending seminary, but CCI helped these remote pastors fulfill their dream and equipped them in their native language, Odia. Five graduates have committed to start classes from this graduation. Continue to pray for the ministry in the state of Odisha.

I encourage you to pray for this difficult mission field in the state of Odisha and to continue praying for all the teachers and students. Your prayers and support will greatly impact the mission field of Odisha. We are grateful for the part you play in helping CCI continue this work and reach more people with biblical training.

Sincerely,

Vijay Kumar and Rama

CCI Regional Director of the Indian Subcontinent

Odisha State

The impact of CCI’s training program in Odisha is tremendous. Many people in remote areas of Odisha have limited resources and very little opportunity to receive this kind of biblical training.

These pastors and ministry leaders are serving the Lord in remote places, and many face persecution and other challenges as they faithfully continue in ministry. Many also have limited financial resources. Please pray that the Lord will give them strength and meet their needs so they can continue to carry out the ministry faithfully.

Testimonies

"I am Pastor Koresh Harijan. Over the last two years, I learned the word of God from my teacher, Bardhan Sir. I have been in ministry for the last 12 years, but I have never had an opportunity to learn the Word of God in a systematic way. I really thank God and CCI for this great privilege to study the Word of God. I have committed myself to teaching my own church everything I learned over the last two years. Please pray for me and my ministry."

"I am Mrs. Jyoti Rani Suna. I really thank God and thank CCI for the training program. I have never attended a Bible school or had any opportunity to learn the Word of God. I am really blessed to learn the Word of God in a very systematic way. I never thought that such a privilege would come to my own village. But it is a great opportunity for me to learn through these ten books. I have learned so many things in the last two years."
