Transforming Church Leaders

Greetings!

Hello in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I have been teaching three classes since beginning my work with CCI, including a class for pastors and two for church leaders. The training has been transformative for all of them, with many experiencing personal growth and improvements in their teaching and preaching skills. The students and teachers alike have found the program to be very fulfilling, and in particular, Course 4 has introduced innovative sermon preparation techniques. It has been a true blessing to witness this positive impact on the lives of my students and for CCI Pakistan!

Thank you for your prayers and support.

Update

To protect these believers from the persecution in this country, their names & locations are not disclosed.

In northern Pakistan, where I am the teacher, I have recently completed teaching Book #4: Preaching Biblical Messages & Pastoral Ministry for three different classes. These classes, which have a total of 55 students, mark the first CCI classes offered in my country. Below, you can find testimonials from three of the students.

"I thank the Lord for this course which has been a blessing to me, aiding my development of sound biblical knowledge and spiritual maturity."

"I am so happy, as I have acquired numerous new teaching skills. The completion of Course 4 has significantly altered my pastoral life and teaching."

"I thank the Lord for Course 4, which is a great blessing as it enables me to grow in Biblical education."

Pray that God would continue to use these classes to empower pastors and church leaders to effectively share the Gospel and shepherd those in their care. May the fruit of their ministry be great and bring glory to Jesus Christ.

Testimony

"Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I thank the Lord for this great opportunity to learn with the CCI class. I am getting good instruction and understanding in Course 2: Old Testament Survey. It is a totally new method for learning the OT books. It provides me with great training and teaching for spiritual growth and growing in knowledge of the Word of God. In this time, my life has changed and my teaching and preaching has totally changed. Thanks to the Lord for CCI!"

Prayer Requests & Praises

· Please pray for new partnerships to be formed. Pray for the safety and success of every teacher's travel, as well as for their families' health and happiness.

· Please pray that both the teachers and the students may receive wisdom and understanding that come from God. Pray that the students may grow in their godliness and experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

· Please pray that there may be greater openness among the students and teachers in the CCI classes to receive and share insights, questions, and feedback. May there be a spirit of trust, respect, and humility that fosters meaningful dialogue and collaboration.

· Please pray that God may raise up qualified teachers and administrators to establish new CCI classes where they are needed, and that these training programs may bear much fruit in equipping pastors and leaders for effective ministry

· Pray for more TTWs (Teacher Training Workshops) to be held, as well as for other seminars that can help pastors and leaders develop their skills and deepen their knowledge of Scripture and theology.

· The Christian churches and homes are being burned near my district. There was a violent mob attack on at least 25 churches and over 300 homes belonging to Christians. Dozens of Bibles have been burned and destroyed, and many in the Christian community have been forced to flee. This attack has left scores of Pakistani Christians without homes and without a sense of security. Please pray for the safety, well-being, and resilience of the affected community. May they experience healing, comfort, and hope in the midst of their pain. Grant them the strength and courage to rebuild their lives and communities with dignity and resilience.

The videos below show churches being burned and destroyed. Please pray for God's divine protection and intervention for these churches and their congregations.
