The Lord Will Fulfill His Purpose

“The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the work of Your hands.” -Psalm 138:8

Greetings Ministry Partners,


Psalm 138:8 anchors our ministry in a profound theological certainty: God is both sovereign in His purposes and steadfast in His covenant love. The fulfillment of His purpose does not rest on human strength, favorable conditions, or the absence of opposition. It rests on His enduring love and faithful character. Because His love endures forever, the work He begins, He sustains. Because we are the work of His hands, He does not abandon what He has formed for His glory.


This confidence shapes how we move forward. Even in seasons of challenge or limitation, we trust that the Lord is actively accomplishing His redemptive purposes through the faithful proclamation and teaching of His Word.

In preparation for expansion, we held a two-day God's Financial Principles (GFP) seminar before launching new classes. Thirty (30) participants attended and were equipped under my instruction. This foundational training strengthened leaders and clarified vision before the start of formal coursework.

In southern Laos, four new classes were launched, all beginning with Book #1 and taught by Pastor O and me. Students traveled from three different provinces to participate. As the program progresses, these groups will divide into four classes to improve accessibility and foster continued growth in their respective regions.

The class was held from February 18 to 20, and I visited and co-taught the class.

The Hmong class in Longchaing met to study Book #9, Church History, from February 24 to 28.

Our team visited house churches.

My wife and I visited the Hmong church and families in northern Laos from February 26 to 28. We enjoyed a time of fellowship, sharing testimonies, and praying for each other.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership. Your faithful prayers and generous support make this work possible. Together, we are trusting the Lord to fulfill His purpose through the training of pastors and leaders who will multiply biblical ministry for His glory. Thank you for standing with us in this mission.

In Christ's love,


CCI Laos National Director

Testimony

"Greetings. I'm a new student of CCI. I was very excited about the new learning. The leader taught us about God's Financial Principles, which was the first time that I learned about money from the Bible. I never learned like this before, not even from my own church. Now I understand how to manage the money. I believe everything that I have belongs to God, I will steward what God entrusts me, and will be a faithful steward."

Prayer Requests & Praises

  • Please pray for the Lao government and the Lao Evangelical Church, which are making it harder for underground Christians. The authorities must approve and be notified of every religious activity. Pray that the Lord will open their hearts to understand and accept our ministry, and bless them in the new year. 
  • Please pray that CCI Laos can develop support in our country. We ask God to give us the wisdom to reach our goal of raising support for one more area coordinator.
  • Please pray for the support of the area coordinators working in remote areas. We need $150 per person each month. 
  • Please pray that God will protect our team members as they share the gospel with others and conduct class meetings.
  • Pray for my wife and me, who plan to return to Canada in October to apply for retirement.
  • Please continue to pray for Pastor S, who has recovered from illness and is staying at home but cannot work yet. 
  • We plan to expand our ministry to the Hmong in the country's northern provinces. Please pray that we find a trustworthy contact.
