CCI mission:
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Romans 12:5

We praise to God for our CCI Thailand Coordinators meeting on March 9-11 in Chiang Mai. We planned mission outreach programs and how to provide Teacher Training Workshops (TTW), God's Financial Principles seminars (GFP) and other training and CCI tools for community leadership development in local churches.
Praise God, although some of the coordinators were unable to attend due to the impact of the Covid pandemic, that this meeting went well and we achieved satisfactory results. Because of this time that we have spent together, we progressed as one and helped each other in organizing training. The CCI mission is a powerful tool that can strengthen and grow local churches.

And we praise God for this most special meeting with an additional mission statement from the CCI President, Dr. David Nelson. We are encouraged and reinforced with the ultimate goal of effective ministry of the Lord from our CCI president. |

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:16-17

Because today's world is getting harder and harder every day with pandemics, plagues, wars, and socioeconomic problems, we are all in an era of change where everything is comfortable and in haste. We are being tempted to resist persecution.
Today, we clearly understand why Jesus commanded us to go out and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because if we are to live in today's world as it is, we will need to be taught and be admonished by the Word of God. The Word is the only way to keep us in the path of righteousness and peace from the Lord.

The mission of CCI is to teach the Word of God to followers of Jesus Christ. What we do in our country is support and challenge believers. Let all the pastors and teachers be faithful in preaching the Word of God to the congregations and local believers, because teaching will grow and strengthen their faith and trust in God. We ask you, our partners, to pray for our teaching and making disciples in Thailand with more than 50 groups across the country. And moreover, we shall see those who have been trained by the word of God go forth as the light and salt of the world. |

Testimonies
"My name is Ang Chang Phongya. I would like to thank my teachers and I thank God for having the opportunity to study with CCI. I have received many blessings through my teachers and have also gained spiritual renewal once again. Before, I didn't understand the Bible very much. But after studying, it made me understand and change a lot in my life. I read more of the Bible, spend more time in fellowship, and most importantly, I am more calm and more diligent. In 1 Timothy 4:13, “It is written that you devote yourself to preaching and teaching.” I have come to understand that one must devote both mind and soul to teaching. It doesn't happen if one doesn't want to change their life. To teach others, you have to teach yourself thoroughly first. And it should be remembered that in teaching the scriptures, every Word is touched by God and useful in teaching, admonishment, correcting the wrong and training in righteousness so that the people of God are capable and ready for every good work."

"My name is Mr. Dor Sangsri and I live in California, USA. I would like to share that I have attended Bible training to be a servant of God in many places with foreigners. Recently, a friend suggested that I take the CCI Bible training course virtually and that I take it in the Lahu language with Lahu people. I didn't think that I could commit to the studying but didn't tell anyone. But when I actually study, I find that 3 hours is like 1 hour. Hearing and reading in my own language was a huge blessing. It made me see myself & my abilities and to take responsibility for a lot of missions. I would like to invite those who are reluctant to learn that you have nothing to lose at all, the time studying helped me regain my identity. I've been a church servant for many years, but I didn't have the burden like I do now. Now I think that my service is not only in the church, but wherever I am. And you will be part of God's service without limitations if you decide to seriously study God's Word in the CCI Bible training lessons. I regret when I served God without understanding God's principles and God's Word. Therefore, I would like to invite you to study and learn the Word of God in CCI Bible training lessons together. May God bless you in your decision-making."
