"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

Psalm 46:1

Hello!

Greetings from the family members of CCI-Myanmar!

Trusting and hoping that this letter will find you in good health, both at work and at home, as we are here. Our world is not safe enough, so we read Psalm 46 daily seeking refuge in our Almighty God, who is a strong rock offering us security and life.

God has opened a golden door for us to minister to His people in the east. The host pastor along with a new area leader, Brother S, organized the event. Together, we conducted a two-day Teacher Training Workshop (TTW), a seminar on God's Financial Principles (GFP), Advanced Expository Preaching (SAEP) for three days, and a four-night Bible study, with each session lasting two hours, at his church. We praise the Lord for those precious training programs and the quality fellowship that will enable us to continue our ministry in the east.

The above are photos of pastors who attended the TTW and the 4-night Bible study at the church of Pastor S, a new area leader in the east.

The above are photos of young people who learn about God’s Financial Principles (left) and students and local church planters who attended the seminar on Advanced Expository Preaching at a Bible College (right). They all are potential individuals who can also do the same in their own work life.

There are twelve graduates of the CCI training this month in two different classes: one in the west and the other one in the south. We highly honor and appreciate each one of them as they pursue this theological learning amidst the uncertainties. We pray that God will use them mightily in the area where they will be serving the Lord.

Thank you so much for your faithful prayer, love and support.

Blessings,

CCI Myanmar National Director

Testimonies

"I grew up in a Christian family. I learned about Jesus Christ but did not grow in the image of the Lord. I spent my youth times with friends and was greatly influenced by worldly things. After many bad things happened in my life, I recommitted myself to God. I praise the Lord who spared my life and did not take it while I was away from Him. I am so thankful for attending the CCI classes to become a better servant. These classes that I took for nine months really helped me open my spiritual eyes and equipped me for my daily spiritual walk with the Lord. Now I can divide the Bible and understand its meaning correctly. I will use this knowledge in my church with selected believers to reach my own people."

"Praise the Lord for giving me the opportunity to attend the seminar on God’s Financial Principles (GFP). I am a senior pastor and the host pastor of a church in the east. I have been in ministry for over thirty years, working with different tribal people groups.

This was my first time learning about God’s Financial Principles comprehensively in my life. I initially thought it would be solely about money, but as I delved into the teachings, I realized it encompasses much more. It is about learning to see and understand as God sees, and utilizing finances as God intends - for His ministry. I also see it as the foundation of our Christian life. I extend my gratitude to CCI and the teachers."

Prayer Requests & Praises

Praise points:

o Praise to God that I can talk to my team now. They are doing well.

o Praise God that we had seminars on AEPS, TTW, GFP, and Bible study every night in the east as we prayed, and spent time with Pastor S, who is now a new area leader overseeing the CCI ministry in the east.

o All my children finished their exam very well and were promoted. Praise the Lord!

o Praise to God for His protection and guidance in our daily steps.

Prayer points:

o Pray for the safety of CCI area leaders, teachers and students. They all are in a difficult situation in their daily routines. Currently most of the training classes are not on a regular basis because of the attacks.

o I am planning to visit my own people in Malaysia to encourage them with the Word from the book of Acts and lead workshops for pastors and leaders. Brother T will join me on this journey. We plan to stay for two weeks from March 11-25. Please pray for safety and wisdom from the Lord!

o Good health and strength for believers who are seeking refuge in a Buddhist monastery, as their homes have been completely destroyed and they are afraid to return. They are in desperate need of rice, cooking oil, and onions. Pastor Z is requesting assistance daily to support his flock.

o The military junta announced that all young people (from ages 18-35 for boys and 18-27 for girls) must get involved in military service, which will officially commence in April. However, attacks have been ongoing across the land. Parents are deeply concerned for their children, as the service is not aimed at protecting the country, but rather the junta itself. Many are frantically searching for safe havens. Most young people are either hiding, joining civilian armed forces, or fleeing to other countries as migrants, etc.

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.
