Discipleship and Stewardship

Greetings Ministry Partner,

January 2025 has been truly amazing! God has been powerfully at work in our ministries. With His guidance and blessings, we have seen new starts, meaningful teachings, and stronger connections. These are helping to build a foundation for long-lasting change. Here’s a summary of the main activities and events from last month.

New Bible Class Launch in Kampong Chhnang

At the start of the month, we give thanks to the Lord of the new Bible class in Kampong Chhnang. This class was started by The Bible Center. It works like a Bible school, where students both study and live on-site for a deeper learning experience.

Program Overview: The course follows the CCI training program, which spans two years.
Class Schedule: Classes are held Monday through Thursday, providing structured time for spiritual growth and discipleship.

Please pray for these students as they start this life-changing journey.

Seminar on God’s Financial Principles in Svey Chek, Bontey MeanChay

On January 14-15, we held a two-day seminar in Svey Chek, Bontey MeanChay. The event attracted 28 participants who were excited to learn how to manage their money according to biblical principles.

During the seminar sessions, the focus was on using time and resources wisely, based on God’s Word. Participants were inspired to apply their faith in everyday financial decisions.

The session explored how the Bible addresses money, emphasizing that wealth itself is not evil, but our attitude toward it matters.
Participants learned that everything, including finances, belongs to God, and we are called to manage resources faithfully as stewards.
The dignity of work was highlighted, with Scripture encouraging diligent labor as an act of worship.
Practical budgeting tools based on biblical principles, such as giving, saving, and wise spending, were shared, along with group activities for creating personal budgets.
Debt was discussed from a spiritual perspective, focusing on living within means and trusting God’s provision rather than relying on credit.
Generosity, tithing, and saving were emphasized as ways to honor God while preparing for future needs.
Ethical investing was encouraged, aligning financial decisions with Christian values to positively impact society.
Parents were urged to teach children about wise stewardship by modeling good habits and involving them in budgeting exercises.

We praise God for His wisdom and provision in organizing this impactful event. It is our hope that these teachings will continue to bear fruit in the lives of those who attended.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Testimony

Moung Chantou is a CCI student in the Battambang Bible Class, which meets every Saturday. She is currently studying Book 3 with Pastor Lim Phanny, her teacher.

“Before I joined this class, life felt heavy and uncertain. My brother’s faith was weak, and I didn’t understand much about the Bible myself. Conflicts in our family were rare, but that wasn’t always a good thing—it often meant we avoided deeper conversations. Outside of my home, things weren’t any easier. I struggled to find value in society. My neighbors looked down on me because of my personality, and it left me feeling small and insignificant.

But everything changed when I started attending the class with CCI in my town. Slowly but surely, joy began to grow in my heart. I became stronger—not just in my personality but also in my spirit. Patience and love, which once felt so distant, started to take root in me. God began working miracles in my life. My health improved, and new opportunities opened up for my career. Most importantly, my faith grew stronger than ever before. With each passing day, I found myself loving God more deeply and experiencing His presence in ways I never thought possible. For the first time in a long while, I felt truly happy.

This transformation hasn’t just impacted me—it’s given me hope for the future. There’s one specific expectation I hold close to my heart: finishing this Bible training. Studying God’s Word has always been important to me, but it hasn’t been easy. I believe that with prayer and determination, I can achieve this goal. Beyond that, I dream of using what I’ve learned to serve my church. I want to help teach others who don’t yet know the gospel, sharing the message of God’s love in a way that touches their hearts and changes their lives.

If you could pray for me, I would be so grateful. Pray that I stay focused and committed to completing my Bible class. Pray that God continues to guide me as I seek to share His Word with those around me. And most of all, I pray that His light keeps shining through me, touching lives and spreading hope wherever I go.

Thank you for CCI for being part of my journey. Together, with faith and prayer, I know amazing things are possible!”
