Welcome to Rosemary Kauffman!

All of us at CCI are really delighted to share with you that Rosemary Kauffman has accepted our invitation to join the CCI team.

Rosemary is a rare find … she is an exceptionally passionate, committed and tenacious godly woman who does not back away from a challenge without mounting a good fight. Working through her specialist gifting, Rosemary is a harmonious and collaborative team player. She resides in Washington D.C., is married, and has four adult aged children. With extensive small groups experience in Egypt and USA, Rosemary was welcomed onto the CCI team as Associate Director USA, on June 22, 2010.

“Lord, You are our team leader. You are the One who has brought us together for a special purpose. We are so glad you have blessed us by adding to our team our dear friend and sister, Rosemary. We ask that you will fill her with Your Spirit, grant her wisdom and insight to listen and follow Your lead in this new role that she will experience more of Your goodness in her life. We expect You to do great things through Rosemary in her specialist role on our team. Create new and exciting opportunities for her within her home country. Help us to know how we  can encourage and support Rosemary. Bless her and her family beyond measure. We thank You, now, for what You will do in and through Rosemary. In the Lord’s name, and for His glory, we pray. Amen.”

I want to tell you about the small groups ministry at Monterey Church, USA.

We just finished the second round of small group pastors training with a year-end goal of 100 pastors! The woman who was my apprentice is now the director of small group ministry in our church, and she is just miles ahead of me.

It’s wonderful to see how people’s views of being a Christian are being transformed from that of a spectator to that of a participant. People are just stepping out of their comfort zones. The Lord is working miracles in creating a community out of nothing.

The Sunday service continues to grow with young people, mostly and often with commitments to following Christ. We had over 300 last weekend and we’ve started a Sunday evening service.

Recently at a post training small group get together, Bryan, our senior pastor, recounted the church’s journey from a hotel room to a large theatre. He said that he sensed that God was going to maximise the size but from that there would be multiplications. He then said that a former member who was transferred to Maryland has started a cell and Monterey Church would support that plant.

It’s really amazing to see here what I saw in Maadi, Cairo. From simple beginnings, determined faith, and the Lord’s mighty power – shows a revolution that beats like a heart and brings life to those involved.
