Dear CCN Prayer Team,

We are delighted to share with you some amazing testimonies of what the Lord has been doing through our ministry lately. We rejoice for all of you knowing that the Lord not only hears our prayers, but answers them as well. Thank you for your prayers and may you be filled with joy as you read some of our testimonies below. 

PRAISE REPORTS

CCN Summer School of Leadership- We are proud to inform you that we will began our very first CCN School of Leadership throughout this summer. The CCN School of Leadership is dedicated to training up college students to become godly, biblical and mature leaders, who utilize their gifts, talents, and abilities to further the kingdom of God and to selflessly sow into others.

This intensive summer program is designed to challenge students to apply what they learn in summer school  immediately in ministry. The course includes 

in-depth Bible studies on topics pertaining to leadership and projects that require use of their newly acquired leadership skills. Students will discover and cultivate their gifts, talents, and abilities, while examining themselves under the microscope of the Word of God. Students are evaluated during the course and graduates will receive a quality certificate of completion along with free resources.

New Campus Leaders Applicants- Praise the Lord! We have been receiving many Campus Leader Applications lately. Our prayer is that these applicants will follow through with the entire application process with genuine hearts to labor for the Kingdom of God and serve through CCN. Just recently we interviewed a current student, Peter Lepera, from Philadelphia Biblical University (PBU) for a Campus Leader position. Peter was so fascinated by CCN that he and his brother, who also attends PBU, decided to come out to our Annual CCN Fundraiser Dinner. They were so encouraged by the students testimonies that they even decided to join us for our recent weekend outreach in Newark, NJ. So please pray that the Lord will continue to send us applicants who are willing to fully commit as a CCN Campus Leaders. 

(In the picture above is Peter Lepera open-air preaching for the first time in Newark, NJ)

CCN Crash Courses- As the summer is soon to began, we are geared up for all of our exciting plans that we have lined up. With that said, we already have 3 CCN Crash Courses booked for the next few weeks. We are so thankful to the Lord for giving us opportunities to strengthen our brethren in local churches by encouraging and equipping them to share their faith with boldness and love. Please continue to pray that the Lord will open more doors for us this season to encourage and teach others in biblical evangelism.

Annual CCN Fundraiser Dinner- Our Annual CCN Fundraiser Dinner turned out great! it was blessing to hear the wonderful testimonies of the students and seeing the growth that the Lord has brought forth in their lives. Many non-students joined us and were blown away by the testimonies from the college students. Even more, the parents of some of these students were amazed to hear and see what the Lord has done through their children, as we also showed some magnificent videos of the students open-air preaching, witnessing one-to-one, and using their gifts/talents such as singing to openly proclaim the gospel. 

PRAYER REQUESTS

Repent & Witness 2011- Our 4th Annual Repent & Witness Evangelism Camp is just about 2 months away! We are very thankful for all of the new and returning missionaries who applied to attend our Evangelism Camp this year. We ask that you please began praying for this 4- day Missions Trip in New York City as we diligently continue to plan. Also, began praying for the harvest in NYC, knowing that there will be spiritual battles to come.

Monthly Donors- Please continue to pray for Monthly Donor supporters for our ministry. The support of monthly donors will greatly help us to continually supply our ministry with essential resources that we need both on and off the college campus. If you would like to donate or become a Monthly Donor please follow the "donate" link below for more details. We would really appreciate your support.

Dear CCN Prayer Team,

We are very excited to share with you the wonderful things that the Lord has been doing through CCN this year. Lately we have been seeing an increase of Christian students boldly and actively stand up for Christ on the college campus through our CCN Fellowships. Not only are we seeing an increase of students, but we are also seeing an increase of faith, zeal, and compassion for the Lord in the hearts of these students which is even better! We are so thankful that the Lord is raising up laborers on the college campus, as it our vision to raise up Christians students that in hope once they graduate they can have the same impact on the lives of others in their sphere of influence.


May you be blessed as you read further testimonies below.

(In the picture on the right is our former CCN Campus Leader Luke Cada from Midland Lutheran College in Nebraska)

Former CCN Campus Leader brings a student to Christ- Former CCN Campus Leader from Nebraska, Luke Cada, recently e-mailed us with a wonderful testimony, which shows why preaching the gospel is so important. Luke stated that about a year after he graduated, a student who he witnessed to on campus in his sophomore year befriended him on facebook and told him that he was now born-again. The student now attends a Christian club at Midland Lutheran College, where Luke attended, and asked Luke a ton of questions as a new believer. 

The young man stated to Luke that he use to party and indulge in sexual sin, but always remembered the gospel message that Luke shared with him and eventually was born-again a few years later.

We thank the Lord for his labor through the ministry while he attended Midland Lutheran College. Luke was a very committed and dedicated Campus Leader who never gave up on his campus. He only had only one steady member the entire time he served as a Campus Leader, yet he still remained faithful until the end.

 

CCN Campus Mission Tour 

As you may already know, our Campus Mission Tour will be taking place in approximately two more weeks! We thank the Lord for all the college students who have already applied and are praying that more do so. During the course of this 4 day Missions Trips we will be visiting to several colleges throughout the Tri-State to preach the gospel to thousands of students by open-air preaching and through the medium of song, music, and poetry. In addition, CCN is diligently training all applicants that will be attending, helping them put their gifts and talents to practice to be used by God to share the gospel.


Here is what one student had to say: "What words can I say to express what's on my heart right now? The CMT training was such a blessing and I'm so on fire! I can't wait until I get out there on those college campuses! I loved seeing the body of Christ working together of the same mind to proclaim the gospel...Hallelujah!"

Please continue to pray that the Lord raises up financial supporters to support our labor on the college campus. Please follow the link for more information. $10 Campaign.

CCN Campus Mission Tour- Continue to pray for the planning of our Campus Mission Tour. With only about two weeks left, we are continually receiving applications and are also training  those who will be joining us for our 4 day Missions Trip. Please pray for strength in all the CCN Leaders who are arranging the remainder of meetings and other engagements that will take place before the Official Campus Tour. Also pray over all who will be in attendance. And lastly, pray for the individuals who will hear the gospel. 


CCN Campus Chapters-Please pray for the CCN Campus Leaders and members at all of our campus chapters: Biola University, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU), University of Nevada Reno (UNR), Montclair State University (MSU), Ramapo College of New Jersey, LaGuardia Community College (LCC), University of Pittsburgh (PITT)

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.

(In the picture below is the CCN group at Ramapo College. Our two Campus Leaders are on the far right, Rashan and Jonathan. On the far left is Krysta, one of the student members. Next to her is LaToya who came out for the first time! In the middle is Adetoun who is also a member.)

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.

 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.

Men & the Gospel Link

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.

Dear CCN Prayer Team,

We pray that you are encouraged by what the Lord is doing through CCN both on and off the college campus. Below are some wonderful testimonies of what has been through our college students serving in CCN.

Praise Reports

CCN-Ramapo College of NJ

In this current Fall 2010 semester God has been sending new students every week to the weekly CCN fellowships at Ramapo College of NJ! It was about a year ago in the Fall 2009 semester at Ramapo that the fellowship could only account for 1 consistent member. Now, the CCN Chapter at Ramapo has 4 consistent members who are passionate about standing up for Christ and sharing the gospel on the college campus. With the consistency of the fellowship, CCN is becoming more recognized at Ramapo, causing more of an interest for students to join or to stop and listen to what is being discussed, which is the Word of God. We praise the Lord for strengthening the students and the Campus Leaders at Ramapo by giving them committed and diligent hearts to press forward.

CCN's Women's Retreat

"Issues of the Heart"

CCN hosted its’ first Annual Women’s retreat titled "Issues of the Heart." All of the women who attended the event were very thankful for what they have learned at the retreat as they all gathered for a night of worship, prayer, and heart felt devotions. Here is what one attendee had to say:

 

“For a long time I wanted a teaching strictly for women such as the kind I found at CCN's Issues of the Heart. The leaders were open friendly and wise. I truly was convicted of things that have to change in my life and when I left there as I prayed on my drive home...I felt the need to repent of things that the Holy Ghost convicted me of during the retreat. The topics were on point with the things that single women in college deal with. I truly enjoyed my time there. I was truly blessed and had a wonderful experience."

CCN-LaGuardia Community College

Below are CCN members from LaGuardia Community College (Jamel and Jasmine) who are faithfully committed to CCN and have a wonderful desire to serve the Lord and preach the gospel. Please watch the encouraging video below as they both share their testimonies from  a recent outreach at the LaGuardia.



Prayer Requests

CCN Campus Leaders & Members- Please for the Campus Leaders and members as some are preparing for their finals this month. Pray that they will be diligent in preparing and studying for their finals so that they can not get distracted in doing the work of the Lord by being unprepared in their classes.

In addition, some of the CCN members are struggling financially. One student is short on college funds while another member is without a job and has a family at home. Pray that the Lord will meet their needs financially. And pray for strength, courage, and confidence over these individuals.

CCN Outreaches- Please pray over all of our outreaches occurring in this month. Our outreaches dates are Dec. 4th. Dec 11th, and Dec. 18th. Pray that the Lord will fill our hearts will love and compassion as we preach the gospel. Also, pray against fear and ask God to give us boldness as we evangelize.

Thank you all once again for your prayers. We are very thankful to have you support our ministry through prayer. May you have a wonderful holiday as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Dear CCN Prayer Team,

We would like to share with you the wonderful Praise Reports we have from our

on campus chapters. Please read below the great testimonies of what the Lord is through

the CCN members serving on college campus.

CCN @Montclair State University Event (Confessions of an Ex-devil Worshipper)
Many students from Montclair gathered anxiously to hear the testimonies of a former devil worshiper and serial killer who both gave their life to Christ. After hearing such powerful testimonies of David Berkowitz (formely known as the Son of Sam) and AJ (a current CCN member at MSU) many of the students became more eager to hear how they both escaped a life full of darkness.

Many students were very astonished at AJ's testimony as he was deeply involved in a Satanic Cult. What astonished the students so much was how he was delivered through Christ from such a dark way of living. AJ's responses always pointed to the cross. For instance, AJ explained to the audience how he currently has various murder attempts on his life, which is a result from leaving the cult. During the Q&A one student asked him was he afraid of dying. AJ response was "No, because my assurance of salvation is through Jesus Christ which makes me not to fear death but have everlasting life in heaven." Amen!

Dan Nicholls, a great friend of David Berkowitz, was another speaker who shared with the students life touching stories about David Berkowitz in his new life with Christ. There was also a 45 minute video shown of David Berkowitz which included how he was delivered from his practice of Satanism through Christ while in prison. Dan also shared with the students a letter written from David Berkowitz that was full of love and encouragement.

Overall, the gospel was preached and the hearts of many of the students were filled with awe to hear of God's saving power by radically changing a devil worshipper and a convicted serial killer!

SouthWest Minnesota State University (Campus Tour Praise Report)

Campus Leader at SouthWest Minnesota State University, Pastor John Chisham, linked up with Luke 10:2 ministries and other co-laborers to take on a 3 day Campus Tour to preach the gospel on 3 different campuses in the Minnesota. The crowds at these campuses were fairly big. On one campus a protest broke out from a group of homosexuals, where approximately 300 people were in attendance. Pastor Chisham gracefully invited the protesters out to his church after preaching and surprisingly enough they showed up! The group of protesters traveled almost 2 hours just to visit.

However, the protesters brought signs with them and decided to protest inside Pastor Chisham’s church while he gave a sermon. Although this was very disrespectful on their part Pastor Chisham, along with other church members, continued to show them love and allowed them to stay.

In the sermon, Pastor Chisham read from John Chp 19 and spoke about the punishment Jesus took on the cross for our sins. After hearing such a convicting and wonderful message one of the protesters began to cry while two others put down their signs.

Although most of them were still hardened in their hearts, Pastor Chisham continued to show them grace and preached the gospel to them after the church fellowship was over. What a testimony! Praise God!

Prayer Request
CCN Campus Leaders-Continue to pray for all of our CCN Campus Leaders and members as they are halfway through the fall semester. Pray for strength over their lives and that they remain focused and compassionate of doing the Lord's work on campus. Also, pray against distractions and bad infleunces that surround them on the college campus.
CCN Regional Mentor Leader/Campus Leader- Continue to pray that the Lord raises up more Fulltime Regional Mentor Leaders and Non-student Campus Leaders as we are looking for older and committed individuals to lead on our campuses that are non-students primarely because they are more mature in the faith, can commit more to their role as a fulltime evangelist, and as a Non-student we do not have to be concerned about replacing a new Campus Leader every year once a student graduates.
CCN Website-Please continue to pray for the construction of our new website as it is still in the process of being revised. Also, pray for our brother in Christ,Carmelo, who is working on the new website. Pray that the Lord continues to establish all of Carmelo's work and ideas to make the website better. We are very thankful to the Lord for Carmelo and all of his labor that he has sown into CCN.
Donors/Supporters- Please pray that the Lord brings forth more donors and supporters financially to CCN as we would like to be able to assist our CCN chapters on the college campuses with all necessary resources. In addition, we would like to have more a global presence on the colleges that our students serve on so we can evaluate and assist our Campus Leaders with all on campuses concerns and issues. This would also give us the ability to personally meet and work with our Campus Leaders one-on-one.
 
One strategy we are conducting to help make this possible is through starting a $5 campaign, in which we are asking individuals to become a monthly supporter by agreeing to donate $5 on a year-to-year monthly basis. If you are interested please click on the donate box below. We really would apprectiate your help.



Thank you all for your fervent prayers and continous support,

it really means alot to the ministry.

(May the Lord bless you as you continue to serve Him with joy)

Dear CCN Prayer Team,

Rejoice in the Lord with us for answering our prayers! The power of the Lord had been falling on many, sending faithful and committed laborers to harvest to continually preach the gospel. The Lord has been doing mighty works through CCN such as sending us donors, bringing forth brethren to co-labor with us and raising up more laborers to serve on the college campus. What a true blessing this is and more than ever, a beginning of a revival!


Please read our Praise Reports and Prayer Requests below.


Praise Reports


CCN Saturday- Through the power of God, the Lord has been using our CCN Saturday outreaches not only to preach the gospel to the lost, but to encourage the churches and brethren in our local areas. Just recently, we had 23 brethren of all backgronds join us in our last CCN Saturday outreach and it was amazing! From Pastors to youth, the Lord have been convicting and compelling the hearts of saints to go forth and preach the gospel.By God's Grace we have been blessed to come across of multiples of Christians during our outreaches who were truly blessed and inspired as we preached.

One of our brethren simply put it like this, "The Lord is using CCN as a two fold ministry. To preach the gospel and convict the lost and to encourage the body of Christ and convict those who are not going out witnessing."

Another simply said, "The preaching of the gospel is like a contagious fire to the saints. It spreads and spreads to a point where the entire body is compelled to preach!" We thank the Lord for these wonderful testimonies..amen!!

We have been so blessed and touched by our monthly outreaches that we have decided to do weekly outreaches as well. Please click here to view our schedule. We would love for you to join us!

Biblical Evangelism Training- Last week we hosted a Crash Course (also known as our biblical evangelism training seminar) with congregants from a local church who are from Nigeria. The congregants had a deep desire and passion to preach the gospel but faced some fears,especially when trying to reach those of a different culture here in America. However, at the end of the training they were drastically changed! As we taught them, the Lord opened up their eyes giving them more of an understanding of His Word of how to preach the gospel biblically, boldly, and effectively. The congregants were so encouraged that they invited us back to teach the entire church and take them out to preach. The Glory of the Lord surrounded us as we prayed and worshiped Him for what we have done. It was very heart filling to see how happy and excited the congregants were. Glory to God!

CCN Campus Leaders- By the Grace of God there have been many people sending in applications to apply for the Campus Leader position that we offer. We recently interviewed an individual from Pittsburg, PA, Jennifer Pepling, who also attended our Annual Repent & Witness Evangelism Camp this summer. Jennifer was so inspired by the work we were doing both on and off the college campus, that she felt in her heart to serve with CCN. We are very thankful that the Lord is raising up an army of believers who are mature and committed to the works of the Lord on the college campus. Please continue to pray for our Campus Leaders and potential Campus Leaders who are considering to take on this role.

Prayer Requests

CCN Fellowships- Please pray for our Campus Leaders and CCN members as they conduct their weekly fellowships throughout the semester. Please pray against all distractions that may prohibit them from doing the Will of God, knowing that they are faced with many wordly temptations. Also, pray that the Lord will give them dilligent hearts to take on their heavenly duties first, followed by their daily resonsibilities. Finally, pray that the Lord will open up doors for CCN on the campus for His sake, that the gospel may be preached through monthly planned events.

Repent & Witness 2011- Before we know it, we will be headed for another summer and preparing for our next Repent and Witness Evangelism Camp. We have started promoting for next years Evangelism Camp and thankfully enough we have a few individuals who submitted their applications already. We take joy in the Lord for bringing forth brethren to labor with us during our 4 day mission trip and are looking forward to what the Lord is going to do next year. Please continue to pray for us as we plan and pray for laborers to reap harvest.
