God's Faithfulness

Greetings Ministry Partners,


I am deeply grateful to God for the two months and fifteen days I spent in the United States. This was the longest trip away from home I have ever taken. I thank God for His protection, peace, and faithfulness throughout the journey, and for watching over our loved ones back home.


I am grateful to all the individuals, families, and churches who warmly welcomed and hosted my son and me, as well as the entire CCI team. Your kindness went far beyond providing meals and accommodation. You also cared for our emotional well-being, helped ease our homesickness, and created opportunities for us to visit new places, meet people, and build meaningful connections. Through your love and hospitality, we experienced God's love in very tangible ways.

I would also like to express my special appreciation to our CCI Vice President of Donor Relations, Temple Kessinger, who led and planned the tour. He has been a wonderful example of humble, patient, and servant-hearted leadership. Whenever we found ourselves in unfamiliar situations and weren't sure what to do, Temple was always there, quietly rolling up his sleeves and taking care of whatever needed doing. He never stood by and gave instructions; he led by example and served alongside us.


Beyond leading the team, Temple also faithfully served as our driver, taking us from Pennsylvania to Florida and along many other routes throughout the trip. He patiently considered our requests and, whenever we wanted to visit somewhere, he did his best to accommodate us. His willingness to drive long distances, adjust plans, and serve everyone with patience was truly remarkable. I deeply appreciate not only what he did, but also the humble and generous spirit behind his service.


Through his example, I was reminded that Christian leadership is not about position or authority, but about humility, sacrifice, and a willingness to serve others. This is one of the most valuable lessons I will carry from this journey.

Looking back, I see how God used so many individuals, families, and churches to encourage, strengthen, and teach us. Every encounter was a blessing and a reminder of His goodness.


Thank you once again to everyone who made this journey so meaningful. May the Lord continue to bless you, strengthen you, and use you in His work. We will treasure not only the memories but also the lessons of love, hospitality, and servant-hearted ministry that you have shown us. To God alone be all the glory!

Thank you for your prayers and support,

CCI Vietnam National Director

Testimonies

"I have realized that the Word of God holds the power to transform our lives and cause our spiritual lives to grow when we learn and follow it. His Word fulfills every good desire according to God's will because He is the One who shines into our hearts, and it helps us recognize our sins so that we do not sin against Him. Furthermore, the Word of God transforms us to possess the good nature and character of Jesus Christ, bringing practical benefits to my spiritual life."


-CCI Student

"Through the Book #3, New Testament Survey, I have learned many precious things. Specifically, I have understood the structural division of the New Testament, the authors, and the time each book was written, as well as gained a clearer understanding of the events and characters in each passage and book. The course has also helped me see the connections between the books, history, and character biographies, thereby learning more about the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the formation and history of the early churches."

Prayer Requests & Praises


  1. Please pray for the two new classes scheduled to begin this November. May the Lord provide passionate, dedicated teachers and committed students who will faithfully persevere in the program throughout their studies.
  2. A graduation ceremony will take place this month. Pray that the Lord will bless this special occasion, allowing it to be conducted with dignity and become a source of encouragement to the believers at this church.
  3. Please pray for the approval of our newly submitted training materials, especially Book 5. Previously, the publisher rejected this book because it disagreed with the teaching of theistic creationism. This year, the publishing authority merged with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, making approval more challenging because of stricter censorship. Pray for the Lord's favor and wisdom as we navigate this process.
  4. Pray that the Lord will grant peace, protection, and strength to our teachers and students across different regions of Vietnam. Increasing restrictions on religious activities have made it difficult to run our classes and training programs. May the Lord sustain everyone involved and provide ways for the ministry to continue.
