IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

Created in Christ for His Work

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

-Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Greetings Ministry Partners,

We are surrounded by many cultures, beliefs, religions, secular teachings, and philosophies. As a result, many people remain confused about their identity and purpose, asking, "Who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do?"

Ephesians 2 reminds us that salvation is entirely by God's grace and cannot be earned through human effort. Those who have been saved are God's handiwork, created anew in Christ Jesus for a new way of living. Good works do not earn our salvation. Instead, they flow from a life transformed by Christ and reflect the work God has already done within us.

As Christians, we must understand who God has created and called us to be. He has given each believer a purpose and prepared opportunities for us to serve Him and others. Through CCI Bible training in Laos, pastors and ministry leaders are growing in their understanding of God's Word, discovering how to faithfully live out their calling, and becoming better equipped to teach and serve others.

We are grateful to each donor and prayer partner who makes this ministry possible. Thank you for faithfully standing with us as we carry out the work God has prepared for us.

In Christ's love,

CCI Laos National Director
