Equipping Disciples, Expanding the Gospel

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

We continue to pray for God to lead us into new areas where our disciples and teachers can share the gospel. CCI teachers are helping equip believers in many practical ways, including leading Sunday school classes, organizing family prayer meetings, visiting families, and conducting youth seminars. During recent visits to areas with CCI classes, we were encouraged to see ministry leaders applying the principles of discipleship and church multiplication they learned through CCI ministry training classes. This training is strengthening ministry not only within these communities but also outside them and beyond.

Thank you for faithfully partnering with CCI Bangladesh through your prayers and generous support. Because of your partnership, teachers and church leaders are being equipped to disciple believers, strengthen local churches, and carry the gospel into new communities. We are grateful to serve alongside you as God continues to expand His work throughout Bangladesh.

With sincere thanks and blessings,

CCI Area Coordinator for Bangladesh

Testimony

Student Testimony

Mr. K is a dedicated CCI student who is also currently pursuing a college degree. His family members are relatively new believers who have recently accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Mr. Y and his fellow students are expected to complete Book #3: New Testament Survey by the end of September. Over the past several months, he has learned many valuable lessons through CCI training. The New Testament Survey has especially touched his heart as he has learned more about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the Great Commission to take the gospel to all nations.

He has also been deeply inspired by the dedication and sacrifice of the disciples, particularly the Apostle Paul, who devoted his life to spreading the gospel and making disciples.

Mr. Y shares: “I would like to serve my nation, especially among the marginalized ethnic communities, where the majority are still non-believers. Through this course, I have learned how the disciples sacrificed their lives because of their love for Jesus Christ. I also want to serve Jesus in the same way. Please pray for me that I can complete my college education and the CCI course manuals on time.

Mr. Y currently lives in a small town with friends while attending college. His actual home is in a remote hilly area. There is no electricity in his village, and it takes about two hours to walk to the nearest road. Despite these challenges, he remains committed to his education and continues to study with CCI with great enthusiasm. His dedication is also encouraging other young people and fellow believers to continue their studies and grow in their faith.

He is truly grateful for the opportunity to study God's Word and deepen his understanding of discipleship and ministry. His prayer request is that he will continue to grow spiritually and become a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ; that God will use him to serve marginalized ethnic communities in Bangladesh; and that his parents, brother, and sisters will grow in their faith and experience the love of Jesus Christ. Pray that God will provide strength, wisdom, and opportunities for Yonathwai to serve Christ faithfully in the future.

Mr. Y's story reminds us that distance, poverty, difficult roads, and limited resources cannot stop a young disciple who has a heart to know God's Word and serve Jesus Christ.

Classes

We hope you are encouraged by these photos of CCI classes in progress and of my meeting with teachers as I encourage them in their faithful service.

Ministry Promotion

I facilitate Sunday worship services and family prayer meetings, introduce the CCI ministry training classes, and encourage participants to grow in God’s Word through discipleship training.

Ministry and Gospel Sharing

The CCI team visited different areas to provide counseling, mentoring, prayer, and individual gospel sharing, while working with pastors to plan and establish new CCI classes in additional areas.

The team also leads Sunday School programs that use Bible stories and comic books to teach children spiritual, ethical, and moral principles, while equipping new disciples and sharing the gospel with non-believers.
