God's Work Endures Amidst Unrest
Dear Ministry Partner,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from Myanmar!
 
Amid the unrest situations across the land, God spares His people to continue keeping their ministry alive. The team members continue to minister to churches in their own limited areas. Pastor B, an area leader of the west, has done a great job in expanding the ministry of Christ. He made a one-day trip to meet with alumni and some leaders to promote the ministry and lead churches in worship at night. This sacrificial service has always been helpful for hungry believers who are seeking to draw closer to the Lord. Please pray that God will add more funds to buy solar panels for both their family and the ministry.
On the way back home, Pastor B and his team were able to find bamboo shoots to make curry for the students in the upcoming training session, which they always meet for training for one whole week, once a month. The third week of September marks the resumption of the training. Please keep them in your prayers.
 
We confirm that God has sustained our lives in order to expand the ministry of making disciples across the country. The rainy season is about to end soon, and we are excited to start traveling to some secure towns to meet with potential pastors and church leaders. We are continually looking for more leaders who can effectively pass on the relational discipleship with comprehensive material for ministry impact.
Thank you so much for your love, prayer, and faithful financial support.

With much prayer and thanks,
CCI Myanmar National Director
Staff Update
On 8/23, Pastor B had the privilege of conducting our Lord's supper in a local village. And in the following week, he taught a third full week to a CCI class in a town. During that time, he had the opportunity to spend time with alumni, sharing about God's protection in their lives and families. Pastor B's one class has completed Book #2 - Old Testament Survey and the other classes will not be held this month due to farm work but will resume in the coming months. Please pray for the health of Pastor B's family and for the ministry. Additionally, due to the constant increase in prices, please pray for their basic needs.

Pastor M and his family are doing well, as he maintains involvement in ministry and seeks additional partners in the ministry. Despite the ongoing attacks in eastern Myanmar, where he and his family have sought refuge and where gun and bomb sounds are heard daily, Pastor M remains committed to his cause and continues his classes.

Pastor Z and his family are faring well. His class has completed Book #7 - Church Ministry/Administration/Education and have been assigned the roles of elders and leaders within the church.
Will you help support the Area Coordinators in Myanmar?
Testimony
"Prior to taking this class, even though I had been a Christian for four years and received water baptism, I lacked knowledge on how to live a Christian life according to scripture. However, after completing Book #6 - Personal Spiritual Life, I now feel blessed and confident in my salvation. I have gained a better understanding on how to manage my life as a true follower of Christ and now feel equipped to encourage other believers as part of my duty. Praise the Lord!"

Prayer Requests & Praises

Praise points:

o  Family members of the CCI team are doing good physically by God’s wonderful hands. Praise the Lord for His love and faithfulness upon CCI-Myanmar. 

o  Praise God for His guidance and protection during the visa interview in Bangkok, Thailand. Though the visa was rejected, I am still thankful to God for His better plan that He has for all of us.          
  
 
Prayer points:

o  Please keep Pastor T, Pastor Y, their loved ones, and their congregations in your prayers. It has been more than a month since any communication has been established with them. Based on the current events, there is a high possibility that for security reasons, all communication may have been restricted. Please pray for the Lord's protection and provision over them.

o   For over two centuries, Myanmar Christians have utilized Bibles translated by Protestant American Baptist Missionary Adoniram Judson, which have aided greatly in our understanding of God and His plan for redemption. Recently, a new Burmese version called the "Myanmar Standard Version" has been published, making the Word of God more accessible to modern individuals. I purchased one and found it easy to comprehend. Each bible costs the equivalent of $19USD, and I am praying that God will provide 50 bibles for pastors and teachers.

o  Two of my three children's school fees has been paid, and I am now seeking sponsors for the other one. The annual tuition fee for each child is $2,000, and I am hopeful that God will inspire His messengers to help us meet these needs. Please pray for His intervention.

o  The devaluation of our support is drastically affecting our family’s food budget. We are asking the Lord to provide an increase of $250.00 per month to meet these basic needs. Please consider making a new monthly commitment today to help meet this need. We thank you in advance for your help. Click HERE.

o The staff of CCI Myanmar is looking forward to the Global Conference to be held in Thailand in November. Many would like to go, but do not have the money to buy plane tickets. Many teachers want to join in this inspiring meeting and sharing God’s goodness together. Please pray for God’s provision for this.
