Connecting #together

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to say that our first ever Asia Pacific Conference in Malaysia was a real success last week. We had over 45 people attending from 14 different nations all either leading current CCI Associations or planning to start one. It was moving to see people from all around Asia Pacific singing, praying and planning #together. To see people appreciating they are part of this global movement of Christian camping and seeing how we can work #together to encourage, enable and equip each other was a real encouragement. Thank you for your prayers.

We travel to Alsace in France next week to run a very similar conference for those leading Christian camping in Europe. It is indeed wonderful being part of this global CCI family.

Report on ICCA's National Conference 2018

ICCA has just conducted its 8th National Conference with a difference. ICCA had developed primarily in South India and so the Board intentionally conducted this year’s conference in Nagaland – to encourage those in the North East.

Over 50 people attended an exciting three-day event in Kohima which has provided a great foundation for the further development of Christian camping. There was (and is) excitement amongst those who attended as they were encouraged to build the Kingdom.

In the final wrap over 30 delegates got up and said how the three days had impacted them – a percentage I have not experienced before. There were those who said they hadn’t wanted to come, but realised that this had been a powerful time of learning, others reflected on how specific talks would influence them and that God had spoken much into their lives as a result of attending.

ICCA has taken a big step forward towards reaching the whole of India.

The conference closed with Ps Niu speaking on the Matt 28 Passage from a faith perspective. And then candles were lit starting with Ps Niu and spread through the hall as a symbol of the spreading Light.
