Faithful Through Every Season

Good day, dear friends!


We are in the middle of the rainy season here in Liberia, with heavy downpours causing flooding in Monrovia, road accidents, and many other challenges. Yet through it all, God has kept us and continues to grant us the privilege of serving Him in Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and The Gambia. Truly, we thank God for His faithfulness!


August was a rich season of ministry, with travel, pastoral visits, virtual meetings, the conducting of classes, and sharing CCI’s vision with pastors and ministry leaders.


It is a blessing to be part of CCI’s mission to equip leaders through the faithful teaching of God’s Word and training for effective ministry. We are grateful to God for the privilege of joining in this work of transformation and service to the church of Jesus Christ.


We praise God for the teachers and coordinators in Liberia and across West Africa who continue to serve faithfully. The students, teachers, and coordinators are being greatly impacted. Churches are already seeing growth in their pastors’ sermons, and we praise God for this fruit.


We continue to pray and prepare for CCI Liberia’s first graduation, scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026. We are thankful for the training these students have received, and the graduates are eager to help begin more classes throughout the country.


Classes in the other West African countries are also going well. Please continue to pray for the teachers and students as they study God’s Word, grow in ministry, and serve their churches and communities.


We give all praise to God for the faithful prayers and generous support that sustain the work of CCI in Liberia and throughout West Africa. We are deeply grateful for the brothers and sisters who stand with us in this mission. Thank you for your partnership, prayers, and generosity. Your support is helping equip pastors and church leaders to faithfully teach God’s Word and strengthen churches across West Africa.


Yours in Christ,


Emmanuel and Wintee Jonah

CCI Liberia National Director

Testimony

Christian Cooper is a student in the Soul Clinic class. He is learning a lot from Scripture, which is making him question the teachings at his church. His lead pastor seems to be preaching the health-and-wealth gospel, something Christian is struggling to accept since enrolling in the CCI class. He needs prayers as he plans to speak with his pastor soon. For now, he’s praying for his pastor and for the meeting.  

Training

Area Coordinator Meeting

As I prepare to travel to the United States, I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with our Area Coordinators and plan how training will continue while I'm away. We also discussed preparations for the upcoming CCI Liberia graduation in November and the next steps for those who are completing their training.


Ministry is not only about teaching lessons or completing courses. It is also about discipling leaders, walking alongside them, encouraging them in their calling, and helping prepare them to faithfully train others. I am thankful for these men who are taking greater responsibility for the work and helping ensure that the ministry continues to grow and multiply.

New Class

Kou Quetee has started a class for women in Liberia. Kou will be graduating soon, but she’s not waiting. Kou is one of our CCI students, and we praise God for her. She cannot stop sharing and encouraging pastors' wives to join the CCI class in Ganta. Praise God for the transformation taking place in the life of Kou and many others.
