August, 2010

The Children’s Ministries Institute (CMI) in India has officially ended!

On August 5, thirty students graduated from the Children’s Ministries Institute of India. Even though CEF of India has had many institutes over the years, this CMI session the first to be patterned after our USA 3-month modular institute. Our friend and co-worker, David Bachelder, recently returned (8/9) from India where he coordinated the last five weeks of CMI.

Twenty-eight of these graduates came from various states of India. One student was from Nepal and another was from Bhutan. David reported to us that the students were excited about what they learned during CMI and were eager to return home and put these methods and principles into practice.

We praise the Lord that we had the opportunity to travel to India for four weeks this summer. During the months of June and July more money came into our India Missionary trip account. We are happy to report that the Lord supplied all the financial needs for our travel and expenses. God is so good! THANKS to each of you who gave and prayed for this trip!

• Praise the Lord for the 30 India CMI graduates!
• Praise the Lord that all the money needed for this mission trip has come in!
• Pray that the students will share the Good News of Christ with many, many boys and girls all over India.
• Pray that the Lord will work in the heart of the children, drawing them to Him.
• Pray that the India CMI graduates will have many opportunities to train thousands of adults to reach the children with the Gospel.

CMI in USA soon to begin!

The three-month Children’s Ministries Institute at our CEF International Headquarters will begin on August 20. The students start arriving on Wednesday, August 19. At present, there are 15 students registered for the first one-week module with other students registered to come in for other modules. With the exception of the first week, there will be an average of 24 students here each module of this fall CMI session.

• Praise the Lord for the students who are registered to attend CMI.
• Pray that more students will enroll for the upcoming modules. The student registration number is lower than usual.
• Pray that the Lord will give travel mercies to the students.
• Pray that the students will have unity and will be open to the Lord’s leading for their future ministry.
• Pray for us as we teach at CMI. We are heavily involved in teaching during the first seven weeks.
• Pray that we will be a godly example to the students as we minister to them through the prayer times as well as the social events. 

THANKS for your prayers! They are greatly needed. THANKS also to those of you who support us financially. We praise the Lord that you are all part of our support team.
