Dear CCN Prayer Team,

We are exceedingly grateful for your prayers as many of our Prayer Requests have been answered, all glory to God! We are planning to do even greater things for the Lord this year so we continually ask for your prayers.

We pray that your hearts are filled with joy as your read our Praise Reports below.

Praise Reports

CCN Weekend Outreaches- Lately, we are seeing an increase of attendance in our CCN Weekend Outreaches. Not only are we seeing an increase in our college students attendance, we also have seeing an increase in non-student missionaries and friends from local areas who join us for our Weekly Weekend Outreaches as we preach the gospel throughout the tri-state area.  As a result, more college students, missionaries, and churches are becoming more aware of CCN. Our prayer is that they continue to equip other brethren and spread the gospel biblically and boldly in their areas as well. 

In addition, we had one of our students from Montclair State University (Bami who is from Nigeria) open-air preach for the first time at a previous outreach on New Years Day. It was such a blessing to see a young student lift up her voice like the sound of a trumpet and proclaim the Good News to hundreds of people. On top of that, she has been so blessed by CCN that she decided to have us provide her church with our free ministry Evangelism Crash Course, which we conduct to equipp local churches in biblical evangelism. Not only were other church members excited to learn about biblically evangelism, but her Pastor was so blessed that he felt that it was a need for CCN to come back and teach again so that others congregants can be taught how to boldly and effectivelyy preach the gospel. We are so thankful that the Lord is establishing relationships between us and the college students because we are seeing that the students are taking what they have learned in CCN back home to their churches and applying it. As a result, it is creating more opportunities for us to provide free evangelism training to local churches, and therefore, churches getting equipped.

CCN at Ramapo College
- The CCN Chapter at Ramapo College is continually attracting students of a Christian background and have two members that are very committed. With only two consistent members the CCN Fellowship is standing strong. The next big step now is getting chartered as an official organization on the campus which will allow the CCN Fellowship at Ramapo to do greater things. Please pray that the Lord will raise up two more committed laborers at Ramapo so that they may apply to be an official group. Pray that the Lord gives strength to both Campus Leaders and members at Ramapo to labor vigorously throughout the semester to become an official group. Also pray that both Campus Leaders and members trust in the Lord throughout this process and pray that they faithfully seek the Lord with their whole heart in regards to becoming an official group.

Campus Leader Praise Report- As some of you may know, our Campus Leader at SouthWest Minnesota State University, Pastor John Chisham, conducted a Campus Tour Outreach a few months ago. Around that time Pastor Chisham's church was protested by pro-homosexual students, who attended the open air preaching at one of the campuses that was a part of the Campus Tour Outreach. As a result of the protest, Pastor Chisham's church contract was non-renewed at the local YMCA facility where they host their services.

Praise the Lord for blessing them with their own place now! You can see it here in his "Posterous" update. Feel free to sign up to get your subscription. 

Prayer Requests


 CCN Men's Retreat "Men and the Gospel"-
As you may know, we previously held our First Annual Women's Retreat for our female college students. This year the Lord placed it on our heart to also host our First Annual Mens Retreat entitled "Men and the Gospel" Assembly & Outreach. Please keep this event in prayer as we continue to plan for it. For more information please follow the link below.

4th Annual Repent & Witness Evangelism Camp-
We are still planning for our Repent & Witness Evangelism Camp that will take place this summer for the fourth year. Please pray that the Lord would once again send forth committed student and non-student missionaries to take part in this 4-day Missions Trip in New York City. Also pray that the Lord would provide for us financially to offer scholarships to missionaries where they can attend with no cost at all. In the past we were blessed to be able to do so, and we are hoping to do so this year.

We thank God for you and for partnering with us through prayer. You are such an important part of this ministry and we would like to thank you for your commitment. May the Lord bless you as you continually serve Him in a new year.
