Greetings Ministry Partners, | |
In November 2024, I visited the states of Punjab and Delhi. On 11 November, I arrived in Punjab and traveled with the Punjabi Area Coordinator to Gurdaspur from the airport. My visit was very fruitful, as I personally met and interacted with all the Punjabi teachers, visited a few classes, and interacted with the students.
I conducted the 5 Best Practices Seminar for the Punjabi teachers on November 12. All the participants clearly understood the mission and vision of the CCI ministry. I encouraged the teachers to multiply the ministry in Punjab in 2025. We all enjoyed the fellowship during this one-day seminar around the Word of God and during lunchtime. All the participants returned by getting a fresh and passionate perspective about the ministry entrusted by God.

I visited the Punjab State, where I taught 5 Best Practices for 19 Punjabi Teachers on November 12. | |
My trip also included visiting Punjabi classes to encourage teachers and students. | |
|
On 14 November, I traveled to Delhi from Punjab. There, I met two pastors and promoted the CCI ministry to them. After the ministry promotion, I returned to Hyderabad on 18 November.
I praise God for the three new classes that started in November. The Telangana Area Coordinator, Brother Nehemiah, started a new class in Gajwel with 30 students. Teacher Peter of Andhra started two more classes in Piduguralla and Miryalguda. The Miryalguda center has 25 students who are being trained, and the Piduguralla center has 18 students in training. I praise God that He has added a total of 73 new students to be trained by CCI for His Glory.

"My journey with CCI has been truly life-changing. Since I started studying in the CCI class, my interest in God’s Word has grown immensely. I’ve developed a deep eagerness to study more and apply His teachings in my life. Through the training, I’ve learned so much and have started growing spiritually in ways I had never imagined. Now, I pray daily and read the Bible with a renewed heart. My family has also been deeply encouraged by the transformation they see in me. Together, we now pray daily as a family, and many positive changes have taken place in our home.
I give all glory and thanks to God for this transformation and to CCI for providing the resources and guidance to help us grow in faith and live out His Word."
–Punjabi CCI Student
