Scripture

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. - Romans 12:10-13 (NKJV)

A quick update from Andrew

We are closing out the current semester next week and it is always great to see God work in the lives of the students.  Almost all of them are coming back next semester along with a bunch of new students.  

A past student from CCBI, Charles, is pastoring in Fiji and we have been able to continue to assist him with ministering to the community.  Charles has been such a faithful servant that we are looking forward to two students that will be coming from Fiji that he has poured into.  Please pray for financial assistance for the students as well as favour on getting their passports, visas and paperwork.

Lusi and Akuila from Fiji
Next semester we (CCBI) are looking at expanding our outreaches to the island nation of Tuvalu.  Another past CCBI student ministers in a church in Auckland that consists of Tuvaluians.  We will be partnering with his church on an exploratory outing in late February 2018.  I (Andrew) will be one of the members going on this trip to see what the Lord has for us (CCBI) in Tuvalu for future ministry.


There are so many ways that the Lord is working here and we feel blessed and humbled to be a part of it.  The next semester is probably going to be filled with the most students we have ever had, with the most staff we have ever had, and with a greater emphasis on missions and church planting than in the past.  Please lift up all of these things in your prayers and that we would be able to rest in Him over the upcoming break. 


Thank you for joining us on this journey of serving God in the land of the Long White Cloud.  More updates to come after the semester ends.
