Christmas Celebrations & Evangelistic Success

"And he said to them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'" Luke 10:2
Greetings!
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Trust that you all rejoice in the Lord, for He is good and faithful. The CCI Myanmar team, including area leaders, teachers, students, and believers, celebrated the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in various ways this past month. Through these several activities, many people heard the good news of salvation, rejoiced, felt blessed, and were saved.
Pastor B and his students went on a mission trip. They conducted a one-day evangelistic training. Out of the many who heard the good news for the first time, five of them surrendered their lives to Christ and prayed with them. The students enjoyed witnessing the ministry's success in the Lord.
One of the students of Pastor M, a missionary among the Taungyoo tribe, has been so faithful in reaching the targeted people group for over five years. Over seven families have committed their lives to Christ. Five of his disciples are active in sharing the Good News with their own people, just as their teacher does. During this Christmas season, another three new men were added to the kingdom. Praise the Lord!
The Lord has been so good and has not stopped doing good things but He is at work amazingly through the church. God is so faithful. We need more laborers.

Thank you so much for your faithful prayer, love and support.
Blessings,
CCI Myanmar National Director
Staff Update
·      The National Director led a one-day children's evangelistic crusade. Over 40 children came and learned about the love of God and His plan of salvation. They were so lovely and followed the guidelines we provided to help them grow in the Lord.

·      Pastor B and his family are doing well. His adopted 5 students are also doing well. The students did well on their exams. He also did very well in his other classes, as did his fellow CCI alumni. They are all very active in their respective duties.

·      The National Director tried to communicate with Pastor M, but was unable to due to the high level of the attack, which caused all communications to be cut off. However, one of his friends informed him that Pastor M and his family members are doing well. Praise the Lord!

·      Pastor Z and his family were severely attacked from December 24-30, and now armed forces are controlling the area. Currently, they are blocked from leaving and finding it difficult to travel anywhere. I have been able to communicate with them, and they are doing well.

·      Pastor T is currently in town for an area leaders' meeting and doing well, he said. He is recruiting pastors to train more laborers for the harvest.

·      Pastor A shared the ministry of CCI to a training school and they are interested in using our curriculum.
