Grace that Strengthens and Sustains

“For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.”

- John 1:16

Greetings Ministry Partners,



We praise God for His great provision and promise in sending Jesus Christ to save us from death. Each day, we receive God’s abundant grace—an incomparable gift. This reminds us to live for others and to serve God by fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission: to go and make disciples of all nations.


We thank God for His guidance over 2025 as He has led the ministry in Thailand. Through His grace, 88 local churches have been strengthened, and 800 leaders and elders have received biblical training to serve faithfully within their local and tribal communities. We rejoice to see lives growing stronger and maturing spiritually.

But it's not just about Bible study training. We also have the opportunity to help many people suffering from disasters, poverty, and illness. In the past year, Thailand experienced several floods because our rainy season is very long, resulting in flash floods in some areas and causing more than 100 deaths. 

Among those affected were teachers and students from the local churches that are our partners. Therefore, we extended our love and care by donating food and water to help them survive and by offering encouragement and some assistance.

This work is possible only through God’s leading, prayer, and faithful partnership. Thank you to everyone who has prayed and supported the ministry in Thailand. Your faithfulness has helped the work grow and bear fruit. May God bless you with good health, lasting joy, and His continued grace.


With love and gratitude,


Kittikun & Ying Meetang

CCI Thailand National Director

Happy New Year from the CCI Thailand Team!

Staff Update

Outreach by Dr. Panya Anurak, Coordinator for Pattaya

We thank God for His blessings in our lives and for the fruit He continues to produce through His people. This month has been full of joy and many reasons to praise Him.


In mid-December, a group of new CCI students from Life Center Church (River of Life Group), currently studying Book 2, organized an evangelistic outreach at Suan Son Beach in Rayong Province. Over two afternoons, they shared the gospel, gave testimonies, and prayed for the sick. About 100 people attended the gospel messages, many expressed interest in Christ, and dozens experienced healing.


Though these students are just beginning with CCI, their faithful study of God’s Word at CCI has strengthened their passion to obey the Great Commission. As they humbled themselves and allowed God to use them, their lives bore fruit for His kingdom. We truly thank God for His work through them. Amen.

Pastor Prapan Wongwattanaphan, Coordinator for the Central Region

We thank God for His grace and guidance throughout December as the church joyfully prepared for Christmas and served the community with Christ’s love. The Christmas events held on December 20, 21, and 28 were made possible through the unity and faithfulness of all teams. These celebrations were filled with joy and provided opportunities to share the true meaning of Christmas—love, hope, and new life in Jesus Christ.


On December 19, the church also served families displaced by unrest along the Thai-Cambodian border by providing essential supplies at a refugee camp. This act of compassion brought encouragement, warmth, and hope to both those who gave and those who received.


Throughout the month, the church and CCI team also assisted flood-affected communities in Ayutthaya by delivering food, water, and necessities. Through these acts of service, we witnessed God’s love in action, bringing smiles, hope, and encouragement even in difficult times.

Pastor Teeradet Sengkhoe, Coordinator, Chiang Mai Province

We thank God for this joyful season as Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, through whom we receive new life and reconciliation with God. While ministry brings challenges, God has strengthened and encouraged me to persevere so that I may be a blessing to others.


In serving as a coordinator and teacher, I have been responsible for sharing CCI's vision and work with the churches I serve. Over the past year, I have praised God for seeing many churches open their hearts to the CCI curriculum. I am grateful to God for giving both my students and me hearts of perseverance and for showing that He can use us for His work.


Thank God for this month, and may He bless everyone who faithfully supports this ministry.

Pastor Jet Saefan, Coordinator for Nan Province and Mien

We thank God for the Christmas season—a time of joy and of proclaiming the birth of Jesus Christ. This year, I had the opportunity to share the gospel in many places, and we praise God that many heard the good news and accepted Christ.


We also thank God for the greatest and most precious gift of all—Jesus Christ, who was born to save the world from sin.

Testimony

"My name is Sorachai Saeri, a member and elder of Wang Phai Church in Song Khwae District, Nan Province. I have served as an elder for over 10 years, but I have never had the opportunity to receive formal Bible training. Because of this, I lacked confidence in sharing and preaching God's Word.


I thank God for the opportunity to attend the CCI course with other brothers and sisters preparing for leadership and ministry. Through this training, I was personally strengthened and gained practical Bible study skills to better serve and build up the church. I learned to read, understand, and apply the Bible more effectively through faithful, repeated study.


After completing the course, I now have the confidence to share and preach God's Word with courage. I truly thank God for the CCI ministry."

Pastor Atsadong Fairomyen, Coordinator of Mae Hong Son

Thank God for His guidance throughout 2025. I have received abundant grace and love from God, had the opportunity to work with CCI, received many blessings, and experienced overflowing peace and joy. From the beginning of the year until Christmas, God's grace and love, and the prayers of everyone, have helped me get through the entire year.

Testimony of Krittichai Pu-ai

"I would like to thank the motorcycle ministry. My motorcycle has greatly facilitated my transportation. The distance I travel is 20-40 kilometers. I have used motorcycles for various ministry activities, including evangelism with the church, visiting members and classes, and teaching CCI classes under my supervision throughout 2025. The motorcycle has also been a blessing to my family."

Testimony of Ms. Piangfah Malamitrpit

"I thank God for His guidance and care. Before joining the CCI course, I lived according to my own desires and did not truly obey God, even though His Word often spoke to my heart. I kept delaying my response to Him.


In early April 2024, Pastor Dong introduced the CCI course at church. I was not very interested at first, but I decided to try. Soon after, I became seriously ill and feared that my life might end. This caused me to think deeply about eternity, and I prayed for God's mercy.


I thank God for sparing my life and giving me another opportunity to learn His Word through the CCI course. Through this training, God has transformed my life again. I now understand His Word more deeply, my questions have been answered, and I have been greatly blessed."

Aniwat Chasorn, Coordinator in Lahu Region, Chiang Rai            

Thank God for the many ministry opportunities throughout December. While some things didn't go as planned, many were blessings from God. Thank God for leading me to the opportunity to share the CCI ministry with the Lawa church, a branch of Ban Klang. Those who listened were interested in learning more about the ministry, so this will be an opportunity to visit all the churches that show interest.

Testimonies

"Thank God for the CCI class that gave us the opportunity to study God's Word and get to know His teachings better. We have seen God's grace in many ways, which makes us want to know His goodness and study and read His Word more. After studying the first book, we have begun to understand the meaning of some of the Scriptures, and in the future, we will try to study and learn God's Word more in order to know God's Word and teachings better."


-Ms. Nattanee Plukngern

CCI student

"Before joining CCI Ministry, I knew God but didn't deeply understand His will. My spiritual life was unstable, and my service lacked direction. However, throughout my time at CCI, God gradually transformed my attitude, thoughts, and heart through His Word, the learning, and the encouragement from my instructors and classmates.


I learned to live according to God's Word earnestly, to pray more, to understand discipleship, and to appreciate the value of humble service—not for personal fame, but to glorify God. Today, I have greater confidence in following Jesus Christ and am ready to apply what I have learned in my family, church, and service.


I thank God for the CCI curriculum as an instrument to strengthen my life, and I thank the teaching team and the church for investing in my life. I believe God will use my life to bear fruit and further expand His kingdom. Amen."


-Mr.Isaiah Wawong
