Dear
Friends, Prayer Partners, well-wishers and supporters:
It is a great joy to present the News about CCM in the form
of Praise and Prayers. Praise for what God has done during
the last few months and Prayers for what we are going to do
in the months to come. But before that let the Word of God
encourage us through the writing of Paul to the Corinthians
about the rich generosity of the Macedonians.
"Their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled
up in rich generosity ...2 Corinthians 8:2.
Paul is writing about the believers of Macedonia living in
Northern Greece. At the time of famine and poverty in Jerusalem,
the Christians of Macedonia came forward showing their concern.
Macedonians were proved to be model givers so that others
may get inspiration. They gave, not out of their riches, but
out of their poverty. Their generosity speaks about their
inner concern and not about their wealth. So, generosity is
not the matter of our prosperity but it is inner life - our
heart and concern. Like Christians at Macedonia, many of you
have expressed your sacrificial giving with great burden for
the cause of Christ's kingdom on earth.
"Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous
things...."
* The CCM Intercessory Prayer Group has continued in interceding
before the Lord of Harvest regularly for evangelism among
friends of other faith and revival in the church. Their prayers
are being answered and we can experience the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit throughout churches and other Evangelical
organizations in Gujarat.
* Praise God for the ministry of Rajiv and Anna in California.
They are involved in a number of ministries: 1) ministry in
the churches; 2) Seafarers ministry - they present the gospel
to the people who come on the ports from different countries;
3) ministry among the students and youth.
* The ministry of Sanjay Macwan among the intellectuals, thinkers,
philosophers and cream of the nation is progressing rapidly
throughout the whole North India. God is using him miraculously
at many key cities of North India. He has many stories to
tell about what and how God is doing in India.
*Mr. Kirit Parmar, though involved in a secular job, remains
busy ministering to the church people and leaders who are
already involved in the ministry. His ministry among the evangelists,
pastors and church leaders in Zadol, Rajasthan, was a great
encouragement to all who attended the special Seminar for
the purpose.
* Rev. C. D. Pathik has ceaselessly continued the ministry
of preaching and teaching in various groups, churches and
organizations. His special ministry for stewardship in the
CNI Gujarat Diocese and leadership training in the International
Leadership Institute were great blessings for all who attended.
He has continued to be the resource person for ILI.
* Bro. Jayprakash Macwan is greatly used in the children ministry
during vacations and weekends. The “Dainik Manna"
(Daily Devotional book) is under print and the same will be
released very soon.
* Few independent missionaries, men and women are striving
hard for the proclamation of the Gospel and building the kingdom
of God. They need our special prayer supports, they being
our front-line spiritual soldiers.
* The daughter of Mr. Dinesh is physically improving though
the medical treatment is still continued.
Kindly pray for the following matters during the months of
November and December 2005.
* Our church ministry on Sundays and other special days during
the week.
* Our special visitation at Zadol, Rajasthan for teaching
and encouraging the people of that area.
* Ministry for Leadership Training Program through I.L.I.
* Our Intercessory Group is on the move. The team will be
visiting Baroda City with a special task to meet needy people
and families.
* Holding a special Revival Day and spiritual gathering at
Nadiad in remembrance of the mighty outpouring of the Holy
Spirit in November 1978.
* Youth and Children Seminar in partnership of churches and
evangelical organizations.
* Sharing of the love of Jesus and caring for orphans, widows
and the poor of surrounding areas by offering them clothes
and needy items during the Christmas season.
* Pray for the special ministry of Sanjay Macwan (RZIM), Kirit
Parmar (ILI), Happy and Sandra (Church as well as youth and
children), Jayprakash Macwan (Scripture Union), and Rev. C.
D. Pathik (ministry in CNI and Gujarat UESI).
* Pray for Rajiv and Anna for their various ministries in

With season greetings and love.
Yours sincerely,
Rajiv Pathik
