Grateful for Committed Partners and Celebrating CCI’s 20th Anniversary

IDENTITIES CONCEALED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES

Greetings Ministry Partners,

I am safely back home in India after our fall tour in the United States. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, hosted us, and took the time to hear about the ministry in India. I enjoyed visiting with you and thanking you personally for your support.

My wife joined me before the tour officially began, and we spent time meeting with friends and partners together. I was glad she could join those visits and meet people who have supported the work.

This was a special year to visit as we celebrated CCI's 20th anniversary. At the anniversary dinners in Pennsylvania and Florida, fellow ministry leaders shared testimonies and updates from their countries. It was good to hear about their work and to celebrate with the partners who have helped make it possible.

I also attended a CCI graduation at CrossLife Bible Church in Maryland. Celebrating with the students reminded me why we do this work. Each person completing their training has something valuable to take back to their church and share with others.

Along the way, we visited churches, Bible studies, and training classes, and met with partners over meals and in their homes. I shared with our donors how their generous support has helped our ministry grow, enabled us to start new classes, supported traveling teachers, and supported translation work. Through their generosity, lay pastors with little or no formal training are becoming better equipped to teach God's Word and serve their congregations and communities.

I appreciated these opportunities to talk about India and help you know more about the ministry you support. Thank you for making room for us in your schedules and your homes.

After returning to India, I traveled to Nepal for our Indian Subcontinent Regional Conference. There was little time between the two gatherings, but I was thankful to see our regional team after spending these weeks with our partners.

I thank God for your faithfulness. Your prayers and giving matter to us. Please keep praying for our team and for the pastors and ministry leaders receiving training across the region.

Sincerely,

Vijay Kumar and Rama
