BIG Day in India--83 baptisms!!



Last Sunday, September 25, a new church in the northern Malda district of West Bengal, India celebrated the dedication of a new church with the baptism of 83 new believers! Despite heavy rains during the early part of the day, curious crowds from neighboring villages gathered to see and hear the gospel.






Our India Field Director Samir Singha describes it as "almost like a web movement" with new believers informing their relatives who told others...who told others...












These new believers are from the Santal tribe. They are daily laborers who cultivate the land. Most came from an animist religious background. They will need spiritual nurture and discipleship.






Malda has become a very responsive field. The typical field evangelist in that area is earning less than $15 US per month...and yet is seeing an abundant harvest for his efforts. Compare that to the money spent here with so few results!

Your support for CC 2720 India Churches & Evangelism is making a difference and will assist this life-changing ministry.

"HERE AM I" Weekend

Isaiah said, “Here Am I” (6:8).
For those who are not yet ready to add….”SEND ME!

Your CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries announces a
“Here Am I”
informational weekend
for persons who want to know more about the process of becoming a missionary.
October 14-15, 2011  
Doubling Gap Center, Newville, PA

The schedule begins on Friday, 7 p.m. and concludes by Saturday 2 p.m.
Participants will discover answers to such questions as…
  • What is the current state of Christianity in the world?
  • What is happening in CGGC missions?
  • What are the opportunities where missionaries are needed?
  • How do I know if I'm called to be a missionary?
  • Am I "qualified" to serve?
  • Where can my mix of spiritual gifts, skills, and personality be utilized?
  • How can I best prepare for missionary service?
  • What if I don't want to commit to a lifetime of serving overseas?
  • What are the unique challenges facing missionaries in today's world?
  • What are the next steps I need to take?
This is a special weekend for persons who (1) have already expressed some interest in
missions service or (2) who simply want to know more about what God is doing in the
world (and how He might choose to work through them in another cultural setting).

The registration cost for the weekend is only $25 for individuals or $40 for couples to
cover some books and resources for participants. CCM will provide Friday night lodging
(if living outside the immediate area), snacks and Saturday lunch.

Attending a “Here Am I” weekend does not obligate anyone. Persons may not be ready
to say, "Here am I--send me!" (as Isaiah did). That's okay. We just want to assist them
in making a more informed decision—either now or later.

Facilitators for this weekend will include CCM Director Don Dennison and former overseas missionaries Ben Tobias (Indonesia) and Joyce Hornbaker (Haiti).

Please mail completed registration form with $25 fee for individuals, $40 fee for couples

Ken & Betty McIntyre Begin Haiti Internship

Ken & Betty McIntyre from the Leadwood Church of God (Missouri) arrive in Haiti tomorrow (the 7th) to begin a 3-month missionary internship in preparation for longer term service. They will be living at Borel and assisting visiting teams as volunteer Hospitality Services Coordinators.

Both Ken and Betty have retired from careers in public education. They have previously served on short-term teams to Haiti, Kenya, and the Southwest. They participated in the very first "Here Am I" weekend a few years ago and began to realize God's call to serve more long-term. Since then, they have served in the Western and Midwest Regions as Missions Advancement Volunteers for CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries. This summer they completed three weeks of intensive study at Mission Training International in Colorado in preparation for their Haiti assignment.

We welcome the McIntyres to the Project Help staff! Please pray for them as they arrive, set-up their living space this week, and began to adjust to their new surroundings.
