A Year of Gratitude and Gospel Multiplication

Dear Friends,

 

Our hearts are filled with gratitude and thanksgiving for the advancement of the gospel in places where it is needed most. This year has brought many life changes and a few firsts. Through it all, we are grateful to God for His love, grace, and mercy.

 

I had the privilege of visiting Liberia, Africa, and the Philippines this year. I was encouraged to witness the results of the multiplication strategy that CCI employs, as demonstrated in 2 Timothy 2:1-2. Paul trained Timothy, who trained faithful men who trained others. Through CCI and to the glory of God, strong leaders in the countries we serve are training faithful men, who will teach others to rightly handle the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).

Throughout the year, we’ve witnessed a wave of local ownership. National Directors and Coordinators are taking the lead in organizing seminars and workshops, mentoring new trainers, and planting classes in neighboring provinces and countries. This multiplication movement reflects our long-term vision to see self-sustaining national leaders who can equip others to teach God’s Word faithfully and effectively.

 

Every class, graduation, and testimony tells a story of God’s transforming grace. Students share how studying the Scriptures through CCI has revived their spiritual lives, equipped them for ministry, and ignited a burden to reach the lost. Pastors are preaching with renewed confidence. Church members are stepping into leadership. Entire communities are being changed as the gospel takes hold.

 

You’ll find many of these stories and photos in the Year in Review, a glimpse of how your prayers and support are bearing eternal fruit. Truly, you are a vital part of this harvest.

Yet as we look forward, the work continues. Our coordinators and teachers are faithfully training more than 10,600 workers, but our ministry funding for next year is in critical need. To help sustain this momentum, a $76,500 Matching Gift Opportunity is available through December 31. Every gift designated to the Equip, Empower, Evangelize Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact for the gospel.

 

We invite you to prayerfully consider a year-end gift to continue equipping believers to reach their nations for Christ. You can give by visiting http://weblink.donorperfect.com/GiftMatch or by clicking the button below.

 

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are multiplying workers who help transform lives, strengthen churches, and spread the Word of God to the ends of the earth. We praise the Lord for your faithfulness and celebrate all He has done and will continue to do through our partnership for His glory.

Merry Christmas and God bless you all!


Yours in Christ,
