IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES | | Equipping Churches for Lasting Growth | | |
Greetings with love and respect to you all. I pray that, by God's grace, you and your family are doing well and enjoying His many blessings.
I am continually grateful to God for your love, prayers, and faithful financial support. My family, our teachers, and our Bible class students regularly remember you in our prayers.
Together with our teachers, we continue serving for the spiritual growth of local churches and the expansion of God's Kingdom. We desire to see every church equipped with faithful pastors, leaders, and evangelists so that each congregation may grow in both spiritual maturity and number. Along with our regular Bible courses, we continue providing seminars and training on important topics, including God's Financial Principles, Biblical Conflict Resolution, Teacher Training Workshops, The Cross Before the Crown, and Advanced Expository Preaching.
Last month, we also took our Bible class students to a beautiful natural waterfall. As we admired God's wonderful creation, our hearts were filled with gratitude and praise. We spent time in prayer, reflection, and fellowship, experiencing God's presence in a special way. It was a refreshing and encouraging time for everyone.

I also had the opportunity to lead a God's Financial Principles seminar. Together, we explored biblical teaching on faithful stewardship, including God's perspective on money and possessions, responsible planning, diligent work, wise spending, generosity, integrity, and living with an eternal perspective. We also discussed the dangers of bribery, corruption, and dishonest gain.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and generous partnership. Because of your support, pastors, church leaders, and believers throughout Bangladesh are receiving biblical training that equips them to lead with wisdom, serve with integrity, and strengthen their churches. Your investment is helping build healthy, disciple-making churches for God's glory.
Please continue to pray for us as we faithfully serve the Lord and seek to advance His Kingdom throughout Bangladesh. May God be glorified in all things.

"I am currently a CCI student. My husband is also a CCI student, and together we are studying God's Word to grow deeper in our faith and ministry. We have two daughters, and our younger daughter was just born. Even during this special season of motherhood, with many responsibilities and challenges, I have been able to continue attending classes regularly, by God's grace and with my family's support.
Through CCI, I am gaining a clearer understanding of biblical truth. The lessons have enriched my spiritual life and are helping me grow as a mature Christian. The courses on Bible study and the interpretation of Scripture, Old and New Testament surveys, and ministry have had a significant impact on my life and spiritual development.
I believe that through CCI, believers from different congregations across Bangladesh are being equipped to strengthen sound biblical teaching. As a result, false teachings can be challenged, and we can teach God's truth to others more effectively. Please pray for me, my family, and all the students and teachers of CCI, that we may serve God's Kingdom more effectively in the future."

God's Financial Principles Seminar
I led a one-day seminar on God's Financial Principles with 40 participants. The seminar was well received, with attendees especially impacted by the biblical teaching on debt, giving, and saving. Many participants committed to avoiding unnecessary debt and applying God's financial principles in their personal lives, families, and churches.
We praise God that the seminar encouraged church members to view their finances through the lens of Scripture and faithfully apply these biblical principles in their daily lives. We pray these lessons will continue to strengthen believers, their families, and their churches.
