A Thank-You From Missionaries Serving in Spain

Dear CRI,

Books are treasured by our family, and although we do buy some selected ones to meet specific educational and ministry needs, our lives have been so enriched by the ones we have been able to acquire through your ministry. God is our source and supplies our every need...your ministry is one of the ways he has used to meet our needs for books and materials.

A Letter from Reaching Indians Ministries International (RIMI)

Dear Mark and the Board members,

Greetings. One of the highlights of 2003 was God answering our prayers for the Mission India Theological Seminary library building and the books. God used Christian Resources International to play a significant and a strategic role to provide books for our library to train thousands of young men and women for the land of India and beyond. You have made a difference. Thank you for your vital ministry to help the nationals around the world.

On behalf of RIMI and the Board I want to say THANK YOU for your assistance in building the MITS library. We will let you know when the container arrives in Nagpur. Pray that the container will pass through customs without any problems. We did not raise any money for this project since we were focusing on many year-end projects. I know that you have paid money for shipping. Please let us know our financial responsibility. Any financial help from your side will be greatly appreciated.

Once again, thank you Diane and your staff for all the work done to pack and send the boxes to India. We love you all and we are grateful to God for you. If you need any pictures or further information, please let us know.

Partnering Together,


Rev. Saji K. Lukos



Founder/Executive Director




Report from Micronesia

A letter received from Bob and Marilyn Wilber of Ft. Myers, Florida:


Dear CRI,


Greetings in the name of Christ! Enclosed you will find a general letter and photos of our recent ministry trip to Micronesia.


Thank you so much for the materials which you gave to assist in this ministry. They were shared with S.S. teachers & churches on the isalands of Chuuk and Saipan!


On Saipan, Marilyn led a 2-day S.S. teachers workshop. At the conclusion of that Marilyn apologized that she had no certificate to give them. But, she did give each of the teachers a book provided by CRI. One lady said, "Oh, I don't need the certificate. This is much more valuable!"


Another lady said "We've been putting our attention on the adults but now we see the importance of reaching our children." The CRI materials will help them do this more effectively.


Keep up the good work and thanks again for your assistance to us and many other Christian ministries. On many occasions in the past, CRI has provided valuable materials for both children and adult ministries.


Sincerely in Christ,


Rev. Bob Wilber

Thank You from Santo Domingo!

Thank you for the materials. On our last trip we were blessed with some choir robes from CRI. We were at that time the only choir in the country with robes. Youve never heard such singing! They just loved the robes and thought they looked just like the American choirs.

I must thank-you also for the Sunday school flannel graph. Not all the churches have seen such nice materials. In our annual speech contest we used this material. Students were able to use this material in over eight churches. Weve seen many come to know the Lord.

God Bless you all.
