Testimonials

I've been a member of CBMC for the past 8 months. We joined as a family, which was a motivating factor in helping us to edify in the Lord's word as a family. The fellowship meet really challenged us to be the men that God desires every guy to be. The fellowship enabled us to learn from the firsthand experiences of others about the importance of walking in God's word amid difficult times. The CBMC fellowship also assists in obtaining good solutions to any crisis situations we face at work and how to resolve them in a biblical manner. The study material "Every Man a Warrior" is excellent because it concentrates on how to be a Godly man.

Jesus had asked us to teach all nations & CBMC is where God taught me to be a fruitful disciple. Interacting with our fellow brothers who are spiritually elder enabled me to get clarity on biblical truths in key areas including LGBTQ on which I was naïve earlier.Carefully chosen books which we discuss during our gatherings has changed my spiritual habits on Bible reading & prayer for better. Mere reading of scripture has now become deep meditation. All Glory to Christ alone who led me to the green pasture (CBMC) to feed upon and grow in Him!

Praise the Lord, By God’s Grace I’m happy to share my testimony that how my life has changed more happier ever in my life. Every week we gather together joyfully to praise god, to worship god, to hear the word of god with all my fellowship members in CBMC. We share the view, visions, and analyse and learn the secret in the word of God. What god exactly want us to do, I got the inner peace and happiness and abundance of blessing from god through our fellowship meet. Amen

For me, CBMC has been a blessing , It has taught me to do the Lord's will every day in my business life . By attending the fellowship meet regularly I started to put God’s will first in all circumstances , I found myself to step forward to preach the good news of the gospel to people whom we meet every day. At the most , it has taught me to trust in the Lord even when things are challenging and to follow his guidance rather than following in our own ideas. It has inspired me to live a debt-free life. Amen

Every Monday morning we are meeting for YCBMC fellowship at kodikanal. Now we are studying on a book called “ Everyman a Warrior” It has aided me in learning the value of discipleship, being a man of the word, and praying. I learned to memorise , meditate on the Bible, and be accountable in our fellowship. The CBMC biblical study has helped me in spiritual growth.

In 2012, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour. By God's grace, I became a builder and manufacturer of CLC blocks, flyash bricks, and paver blocks. My friend recommended me to CBMC fellowship. . Since then, I've been visiting CBMC meetings and other programmes conducted by them. I've learned from mature Christians to do my business through God’s will and to be witness to others . It was extremely beneficial for me as a businessman to receive advice from other business people based on their Christian experiences. I thank God for all these teachings in my life.

God be praised. I am grateful to God for allowing me to stand as a witness at this moment. I am glad to be a part of this CBMC fellowship. This meeting taught me a lot of new topics. To fully understand God's message. God has helped me to get some mature advice to implement in the business, and this CBMC meeting has been very beneficial to my spiritual growth. I am grateful to God and to each and every one of you. Thank you for giving me the chance to share my experience with you. In the name of Jesus. Amen

Firstly, I would like to thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this ministry for business people. CBMC was introduced to me by my uncle Mr. J Jayapradeep & Brother Richard samuel. CBMC has influenced my life, By giving the first part of the new week (monday) to God , it is a blessing to me, my family and my business. After joining CBMC we started the Staff Prayer meeting in my office every week, through this many of our staff/employees have been blessed. In our group we are studying on a book called " Everyman a warrior" where I learnt about discipleship, managing money in God's way, new spiritual habits . This book has changed the way I understand God's word , memorizing the word of God and my private time with God has increased. I feel my relationship with my Creator and family have changed. God has blessed me immensely by this ministry, through the Word of God . Amen

CBMC Nungambakkam meetings has provided me with significant benefits and serenity in my life. As Romans 12:2 states “ And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. I regularly attend church to hear God's message. Similarly, attending the CBMC meeting enables me to examine and apply God's word. As a result, my spirit can sense God's presence within me, which comforts and renews me. It enables me to grow spiritually with inner peace, not only for myself but also for the other members of the CBMC meet. Amen.

I am a cultural trainer and management expert, as well as a social entrepreneur. In 2018, George Christopher introduced me to the CBMC fellowship; we used to meet at C.S.I cathedral church in the beginning, and then we moved to Brother Bastian's office, where I realised my calling and true mission in life is to be a disciple and to disciple others. That's when, after a few years, we opened a new branch in my office at Nugambakkam, and God has been so good to us that we began small group and growing till today. I'd like to encourage you, brothers and sisters in Christ, to invest your time, skill, and treasure. And let me emphasise the word "treasure"; certainly, this ministry requires your complete support in order to expand and bless people. Please bless this organisation so that you can be a blessing to others as well as yourself. Amen.

CBMC Chennai fellowship groups have grown considerably over the last five years, influencing many professionals and business people. Over the last 17 years, CBMC has impacted businessmen and professionals in our city through strong biblical teachings, business challenges with real-life scenarios, and aligning Kingdom Principles in personal and professional life. We have observed many life-changing testimonies for the glory of God. During the pandemic, God has amazingly blessed our online fellowship (CBMC south Group) from 6 members to 120 members. In the last three years, the CBMC has been grown to have new groups in chennai, and we hope to have five more this year. Amen

I praise God for making me a witness in CBMC. As 2 chronicles 16:9 states, “ The Lord’s eyes are running through the entire world, demonstrating his power to those whose minds are right about him “ During the Corona period I lost my job and had no income, but the Lord helped me to buy a new house; Fear gripped me as I considered the situation I was in; I had a promise verses from Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God “. And we are able to pay our monthly home loan more than the actual amount. Now God had helped me to start a company named “Kingdom Financial”. It’s been more than a year, God is leading us miraculously everyday. The counsel and testimonies of Uncle Richard & Uncle Sam helped me to stand securely in the truth and to walk in God’s way. The Lord has done great things. Amen

I am a member of CBMC since 2004. Every Thursday we meet for CBMC fellowship in my home. Lord spoke to me that, who ever I come across in my business, I treat them not only as customer/vendor but also as a new soul for His kingdom. As Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,”. I have also learnt, Instead of wasting time in social media which kills our time and destroys our hope. We have to be wise in using our time, that God has given . Amen

God be praised. Every week, we gather in my office at dindigul for CBMC meeting . we all pray, think and reflect on a bible passage; on a regular basis, My thoughts and belief in Jesus Christ have grown so strong. Consistently, I've begun to grow in faith. God has blessed my financial situation. Sales are taking place, and he is leading the way by reaching the requirements on a monthly basis.

I've been a member of CBMC for over six months. My bible knowledge has improved as a result of attending CBMC meetings, and I am making excellent progress in my internal spiritual life. I thank God for all of the blessings I have gotten through the CBMC fellowship meet. At this moment, I am grateful to the CBMC staff who are working hard on this, particularly those from Madurai.

I own a small farm industry in Kurumbapatti, Batlagundu. By God's mercy, I am a member of CBMC. As Proverbs 19:20 states, "Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end." The counsel of well-experienced children of God, successful businessmen, and the way of meditating the bible helps me to grow in my spiritual life. The most important lesson I’ve learned from CBMC is “ Don’t take loans “ God is the owner of my company and I am only a manager . Amen.

Being a part of CBMC has been a wonderful blessing for me; I look forward to these meetings every Thursday morning, and every time I go there, it motivates me to see how the fellowship members have grown. We discuss God's word and each of us gives our own opinion, we share it, and we come to proper understanding about what God has to say in those few verses that have been allotted for that day, and it always gives me spiritual strength. It's also pleasant to pray for each other's needs. It is, in my opinion, the best thing that has ever occurred to me in my life.

I belong to the Cbmc fellowship. I'm here to share my testimony of the amazing things the Lord has done in my life through CBMC. Two things that CBMC really touched my spirit. I meet a lot of open-minded people in CBMC who faces similar challenges on a daily basis. When I share my thoughts or problems, I get to listen to a lot of people who give us godly advice that I might not get in an outside venue, we don't just advice in instance; instead, with more concern and dedicated prayer, we share some suggestions among ourselves, which has been a great gift in my life. As Christians, we pray for many marginalised sick people, but CBMC inspired me to pray for my own people . That means I get to pray for their regular job, life, and spiritual walk. And every time we hear testimonies for which we prayed, it strengthens our faith and gives us a lot of trust and confidence in the Lord. So when all of our prayers are answered, it feels great. As a

CBMC has always been a unique ministry in that it aims to touch all three major aspects of a man's life at the same time. First, provide scriptural insights into functioning biblically and perceiving one's work from a kingdom perspective in the workplace. Second, being faithful in ministry, particularly with the gifts and resources entrusted by the Lord. Thirdly, being a good husband and father at home. This three-legged stool method provided by the CBMC men's group structure has been a big blessing to me personally, and I've seen it be a blessing in the lives of many others, since keeping these three elements in balance is equally crucial to improving each of these areas as the Lord leads. Amen

I greet you all on behalf of the CBMC Delhi. Mr. Richard Samuel introduced me about CBMC in 2015. I am grateful to God for the good deed. Following that, we organised a local gathering to which I invited a few business people from my area. All were able to attend the meeting . I thank God for the tremendous blessing of all the members coming together every two or three months till today. We pray for one another and share our testimonies. We were thrown into a difficult existence during the covid crises. I praise God for the encouraging prayer for us, which helped to strengthen the CBMC fellowship and reach more people in Delhi region.

20 years ago, We were the leaders in marketing of a specific product in India . A competitor introduced a product that was 100% superior to mine, and I was completely out of the market. I obtained a technology information contact from an unexpected source, and when I applied it, I discovered that my product was better than the competitor. My God provided me with excellent opportunities to succeed in my company. In my warehouse business, the first warehouse was filled during covid times and the second contract is almost done and I can clearly see God’s handwork on that business. Thirdly, I thank God for my Aluminium scarp trading, about which I had no knowledge but God has blessed me with reasonable profit on a continuous basis without taking much effort.Recently, my father was diagnosed with a cardio attack. God revealed to me verses from Psalms 50:15, "Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. God was gracious to console him and give him the courage to go through the angiogram procedure. I thank God that the medical procedure went well. All of this is only possible because of God's Grace.

The CBMC Bible study is a great way to feed my spiritual growth and nourish my soul. It allows to dive deep into the Word of God and gain a profound understanding of its truths and messages. The interactive discussions facilitate the exploration of various interpretations and perspectives on the Word of God, helping to uncover new revelations and aspects of the Bible that may have been previously unknown. Participants come away with a deeper sense of personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. This newfound knowledge and insight can help guide decision making and foster a deeper relationship with God. While also creating meaningful relationships with other believers

Humans were never meant to be alone. We were created to be dependent on God in order to bless one another. In an increasingly virtual world where social media interactions are often superficial and increase feelings of isolation, the CBMC fellowship provides an effective way of establishing significant and life-giving connections with other believers. This CBMC fellowship guides us in wisdom, creates vital connections, provides vital encouragement, makes us responsible, and transforms our families, workplaces, and communities. I give thanks to God for this divine connection.

Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to share a miracle in my life during this pandemic. On 5th July 2020 the company which I was working work got suspended for trading. There was a question of whether I'd be able to continue my job or not. God reminded of the famine in Isaac’s life which ended up making him prosperous. He reminded Habakkuk 2:4 to me which says “But the righteous will live by faith”.

I was hoping to buy a home but at the middle of the work problem I was not sure. I got this Word from God again and again and so took steps for it and started looking for houses. God spoke to me through Rev. Jason’s Daily Manna devotion as well which talked about Genisis 24:31 “I have the house and a place for the camels”. A builder from our church had showed a land and I went to see the land and I liked it and my wife was crying because God had already spoken to her through Song of Solomon 7:10 -12 and we noticed that one tree around the house is a pomegranate tree as the verse mentions and that was a confirmation from God. The builder was a believer and had a promise with the Lord that if a believer asked for the house he would ask for 2 lakhs lesser than the original price.

Suddenly my boss said that our salaries will not come. I answered him and said “Man shall not live by the bread but by the Word comes by God”. We then bought the house and now we have started a tuition centre to evangelize to the two villages near by. Please pray that the expansion of the Kingdom of God will come through us. All glory to the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Since last year COVID-19 has confined us within the walls of our homes. Mumbai has been the worst hit city in India in both the waves of the pandemic. One can easily imagine how we in Mumbai have been gripped in fear. Business also came to a near naught for almost six months during the first lockdown period. God is always our refuge and strength. He protects us everyday according to His promise that we find in Psalm 91:10&11, 'No harm will overtake you; no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.' He, according to His promise, takes care of us. Though our business declined, God continued to bless us by a steady flow of revenue during the pandemic period from one of our consulting assignments that resumed operations in the various Indian middle-sized and small town markets where lockdown was relaxed. We thank Him and Him alone. CBMC meetings have been a much sought-after fortnightly time with God - a time to submit our prayers of supplication not only for our businesses but also for the members of our families. Our Lord is always a prayer-answering God, rich in mercy and abounding in love.

As I look back over the last one year, I realize that it is not a single or a few big things that God has done in my life, but many small steps building on the base of the past. I will be sharing two things.

First and foremost, God has brought home so sharply the gift of life that He has given me and to humanity, and how lightly we take it. He impressed upon me the Psalmists’ repeated cry “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.” Every breath that the 7.5 billion people all over the world take every minute testifies to His Lovingkindness by provision of life and His grace of holding back judgement. Praise God that in Jesus He has given us life and love!

Secondly He has impressed upon me the great need for prayer and His counsel through His Word in all that I do. Through this He has graciously granted me insights which I have entrusted to His Will and Purpose to bear fruit, trusting in Him. Through this time God has strengthened our faith, mine and my family’s. We praise God!

Greetings friends, I want to share my testimony and what God has done during this pandemic time in my business and in CBMC.

Since 2019 our CBMC fellowship group members have meetin our office every Saturday. Around 10 business professionals used to gather. Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 situation we were forced us to move our fellowship online to Zoom and we had 4-5 people joining and praying for each other. God blessed our online fellowship and slowly people from other parts of the world started joining in. From 4-5 members in Zoom our group gradually increased and now we have around 90 members in our WhatsApp group, joining from other Indian states, Qatar, US, Australia, Singapore, Mongolia, Hongkong, Benin and Sri Lanka. It is phenomenal and orchestrated by God alone.

We have made initiatives to invite CBMC board members, business and professional leaders from across the globe to come speak in our group and also started Conversation Series an interactive and engaging session. Many businessmen and professionals are being blessed. God has increased our group from an 8 member group in March 2020 to a 100+ group in May 2021. All Glory to God.

On the business front, our organization skill wise was doing very minimal business during the lockdown period and our cash flow and business prospects were badly hit. But God is so good and He opened online sessions for our company and also helped us to increase our client base during this time. Above all since the last year our entire employees are working from home and God is providing us on time to all our salaries on time. All glory to God.

CBMC Friends, we need to increase our reach and add more potential members and more fellowship groups, to support each other in prayer, motivate and mentor new members to join in our respective CBMC Fellowships. May God bless you and use you as a channel of blessing.

Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
This Covid-19 has taught me the following lessons:

• 1. Patience
• 2. God is our protector
• 3. God is our provider

As this new year started as usual and we planned to visit our daughter’s family in Austin Texes for 30 days holiday and we landed there on 5th March. But from 20th March President Trump announced total lockdown and we got stuck. First we thought before April end international travel will be opened, then we thought before May end but nothing happened. Our only option was vandhe bharat evacuation flights and subsequently we registered with Indian embassy USA and waiting patiently, 1st and 2nd evacuation schedules we were not selected but by His grace in the 3rd evacuation schedule we were selected among the 1,25,000 registered stranded Indians, in mid June after 105th days of our stay. Then the covid -19 was in its peak at usa and thousands were dying everyday and we had to travel 1000miles inland to take the flight to India but we could feel God’s wonderful protection and His strength in us. It was about 6hrs flight from Austin to Sanfrancisco and then from Sanfrancisco to Delhi 16hours. Then at Delhi for clearing formalities it took 9hrs and God was gracious to sanction home quarantine at Madurai. Then getting the e- pass issue at 12 midnight to travel from Delhi to Madurai via Coimbatore was a big challenge. Bro.Samson at midnight 12, he was helping me to apply but he said only if a miracle happens that we will get since the e-pass sanctioning office works from 9am to9pm.but we needed it before 6am since my flight to Coimbatore from delhi was at 6am. God is so wonderful i could get e-pass within 30 minutes at midnight. Then we did fly to Coimbatore and to Madurai by road and we reached at 1pm. God is so good in giving us extra strength and energy for this strenuous long journey(total travel and waiting time from Austin to Madurai nearly 48 hrs). We thank God who gave us extra strength, protection (Covid-19 test result was negative) and provision during these 110 days.

As you all know we run restaurants and my wife has a 20 bedded private (ob gyn) nursing home. God took care of our profession and people perfectly. Even though during lockdown our restaurants could do only takeaways and our sales was only 30% of normal sales but God provided to pay salary to all staff and retain them all and all our commitments. One more thing for our rented buildings from April to till date the rental income is zero. To the glory of our Lord, non of our staff till date affected by covid-19. And from last month onwards God opened new business opportunities for our restaurants by signing contract with 4 private covid-19 hospitals to supply food for their covid -19 affected patients and duty doctors from breakfast to dinner. God opens new ways when there is no way. All glory to Him alone.

Greetings to all in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Likewise the Wonderful Lord performed great miracles in my life too

The Lord gracious blessed us with the fruit of the womb in the month of September. All went well till when in the month of April the scan report showed a cyst in the the left side of the baby. We were devastated when we heard it but we believed that the Lord will work wonders and will dissolve it completely. The same way the cyst appeared just like an additional growth of skin and nothing like the dimension they had mentioned in the scan.

Due to the pandemic my mother in law could not come here to tend to my wife. We kept this in the prayer and Jesus miraculously opened a path for my mother in law to come to madurai at the right time and in good health on 10th June.

I would like to thank each and everyone for upholding us in your prayers. Glory be to the Lord Almighty

Glory to the Name of the Lord.

By the grace of the Lord , we were able to meet our needs with prayers both in family as well as in the business during the period of lockdown too. The new project launched out since Dec 2019 could not be completed till Mar 2020 even after so much efforts on marketing,editing,annexing etc.day ad night in the way of Business development.

It took a few more months for successful completion during June 1st week as the curb being eased stage by stage.The printed materials were made available for supply to the schools, So as to reach the hands of the students and parents at the appointed hour. In addition to it we could meet the debt around 70% within the stipulated time,by the grace of the Lord.God is so wonderful that He leads us in miraculous ways in every kind of awful situation with comfort and our favour, While we submit ourselves meekly in His hands

I would like to thank everyone at CBMC for backing me with prayer.

I would like to write about how I have been blessed during these covid times in both personal / ministry & my official life.

Personal - My view has always been that I work sincerely & waith for ministry/preaching opportunities. During this time - I started doing Zoom talks based on the Bible on every Saturday at 5pm. Though only a few people (6 to 21) attend, the youtube recordings reach thousands of people through social media. I praise God for helping me discover a new way of doing ministry in these times

Official - Though I work in huge company (10,000+ on role & 33000+ including contract) with huge manpower - God has protected my company with regards to covid. Though there have been nany positive covid cases - God is good to us that there are no fatalities. This is a real miracle of God's protection. Many life lessons learnt while sitting at home. Many seminars attended. Many blessings in the form of more time with family. Many other intangible blessings of God"s grace & provision. In the end of it, all we can say is, Praise The Lord

This is Olwin and I thank for this biblical based financial study. I’m really impressed by the teaching. It has changed my perspective in handling money. It has brought a new phase of understanding. The best thing that I have learnt was spending money is a spiritual decision. When I remember my past, I feel regret the way that I handled money. I have wasted my money and haven’t used it in a right attitude. However, after listening to your teaching I learnt how to spend money, and I have decided to use God’s resources more faithfully and truthfully. I once again thank Bro. Prince for this wonderful teaching

It is an amazing opportunity to learn about the significance of finance and its management in God’s way. Since I manage finance in my work place, this study has given me extensive Knowledge to handle money and be accountable both in my personal life and in the secular life. I really thank Compass for giving an excellent training to believers to handle God’s resource in God’s way. I have learnt the importance in saving and giving generously. I determined to put everything that I have learnt into practice and try to fulfill the cause and the purpose of God ultimately.

I’m glad that God has enabled me to share my testimony. Recently, I and my husband Radhakrishnan accepted Christ as our savior. Through this study, we had a lot of changes in our life and business.

We run a shop and in that business many times me and my husband failed to be honest. As I was listening to the class, I felt guilty. Moreover, I was warned by God to be honest in all the aspect of my life.

Having a small business, we don’t give the tithe properly, we usually think about the profit and the investment that we need to make for the business. After attending this class, I decided to give my tithe correctly and give generously to the poor.

I had a feeling that everything that I own, belongs to me and I’m the owner of it. But today’s learning through Compass changed my perspective completely. I realized that everything belongs to God. I determined not to spend lavishly, but handle money with a conscious that God is watching over me and I’m accountable to God to every provision that He has given me.

I thank compass for this amazing teaching. My Husband lost his job from BSNL, I have strained myself working overtime all these 11 months. Now I have gained insight not work over time. Instead I like to change my life style. I decided to live a content life with the income that God blessed us.

I have decided to be honest in my job. I will respect my boss and be faithful in accounting at my work. I have decided to save the money, which I have never done so far. I pledge today not to get into any debts. I will maintain my budget. I acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus in everything I am blessed with.

Attending the Stewardship program helped us to learn to budget. Recently we had our daughter’s wedding, we applied this learning practically in our life. By God’s grace we could able to manage everything within our budget. Though, we overshot a bit but some gifts helped us to remain within our spending budget. We thank God for Compass teaching

I really thank God Almighty for this wonderful opportunity to learn a most valuable lesson from COMPASS ministry. When I heard about COMPASS is a program about finance management, I was not interested to go to the meeting. I felt that I have nothing to do with finance and was not interested. But when I attended the session, I came to know that it is not only about money but giving importance to God more than money. I realized God’s ownership in everything I have. I have learnt the importance in saving and giving. Above all I have learnt not to waste money.

It’s a privilege for me to know the importance to pass on this learning to my children. It is true that children’s heart is like a sponge that easily observes and learn the thing around them quickly. So, I felt that it is essential to pass on the right habit of handling money to my kids now itself. I was convinced by this compass study and realized that in everything we need to give importance to God.

However, two things influenced me from this stewardship program. Firstly, I realized God is the master and we as a steward need to maintain His possession properly. Secondly, we need to give this teaching to our children right in their young age. Because training the children in their early stage would make them have a right attitude in handling money. Now my child Joshua is doing some household work and we give money to him. He is saving it regularly. We are so happy and feeling blessed to be a part of COMPASS ministry. We are motivated to spread this teaching with others and hence we planned to startup another small group in the coming month. I believe that it would benefit all the participants definitely.

I attend the compass small group at Sriperumbudur regularly. I am having my own business. Whenever my friends in business asks for a surety sign, without any second thought I have signed a lot of times. While I learnt that co-signing is against God’s Word, and I stopped doing it. I really thank Compass ministry for giving a valuable knowledge for a happy living.

I am working in a private limited Company and also involved in Real estate business. With an extra income through real estate, I earn a good amount every month. Therefore, I spend lavishly. But after attending Compass small group regularly at Sriperumbudur. I understood the value of money and the Provider who gives me. Therefore, I decided to be prompt in accounting back to God in everything that he has given back. During this time when I was attending this class, I was building a new house. Because of the teaching I learnt to make a proper investment and avoided unnecessary expenditure. God helped us to complete the house work in few days. I thank God for giving me a right teaching at a right time.

Right in the beginning of Lockdown March 22nd I ran out of job/ business opportunities and yet God enabled me in the most marvelous way to survive till date and has also given some ideas about how to thrive after the Lockdown. But the most important testimony is about God enabling me to radically increase daily time spent in Bible reading,Worship,Prayer,Thanksgiving, self examination,surrender and intentional planning about how to share the Gospel more and more with others and how to connect with fellow believers in mutual exhortation. Family prayer which used to be rare and extremely irregular is now being gradually brought into the groove! Another important thing is about my younger brother whom I had admitted to a deaddiction centre and there was much pressure from close relatives to release him before Lockdown was a reality. But since he was not yet healed I refused to get him released even though the rehab fee responsibility fell on my head. Now looking back I realise it was a great move by God because had he been outside he would have had a traumatic time and all of us would have been helpless even to find out his whereabouts

I work as a teacher in Pudukottai district and attend the brethren Church at Pudukottai. I felt immensely blessed in attending the 2 days online sessions of Compass. The study was truly an eye opener. The teaching made me feel guilty by the way I was handling money. When I go for purchasing anything, I would spend all the money I carry to the shop and buy more than my need for my family. However, this class has changed my perspective in handling money.

I didn’t value money and neither was wise in using it. But today I understood the importance of handling finance in God’s way. I realized that God is the owner of all my possession and I’m only the steward of His possession. In having this new learning, I decided to be faithful in handling money and be accountable in everything I spend. I learnt to be honest in everything. And be generous in my giving to the Lord from whatever He has given me.

We learnt this transforming lesson as a family, therefore, as a family we decided to apply this in our life. Thank you so much for this great knowledge. I will recommend this amazing study to my neighbours and friends. As I got benefited through this resource of Compass, I would like to share this biblical based financial study to others.

It was a blessing to hear from Brother TIM, a familiar passage from scriptures (Palm Sunday to Resurrection) with a new perspective based on the days the events could have happened. It was an eye-opening learning session. The location for family workshop was ideally chosen, and the time off to roam around Kodaikanal as family with Children was a great experience.

The message was blessing and had stimulated visionary thoughts in me .Especially I liked the comparison of sermon relating walk of Jesus Christ after resurrection with our way of living & relationship. The meeting in total it was complete in all manners.

CBMC is a blessing to us which helps us as a business men to have personal relationships with God.. And also a guidelines in our businesses .

We meet our CBMC brothers every Saturday morning for a wonderful time of praying, sharing and fellowship. The revelations God gives us when we study His word is deep, thought provoking and life changing. The most precious time is when we pray together for each other. We have witnessed sicknesses healed, family and business related prayers answered. We are amazed at how God is using us when we make ourselves available for Him. We thank God for CBMC.

One huge motivation was that those who had heard about CBMC and those who had attended CBMC in some other centre were very positive about this ministry and they were eager to be a part of CBMC Coimbatore!

The Introduction of CBMC came as refreshment along with great surprise.I came to know about CBMC when I attended a conference in Kodaikanal.It was a time when I needed a break from work and that seminar really helped me to find the purpose of business that I am doing now and the purpose of God restored upon me through this business. I never expected that we will start a small group in my location Tenkasi but God helped me and Bro.Abilash to start a group here in Tenkasi, two weeks after the seminar in Kodaikanal which I was thirsting for really long days and lack of fellowship was disturbing me. But now CBMC is a great breakthrough in my spiritual life which made me clearly understand that this is the time I need to minister and not to be ministered.

I was introduced to CBMC by my brother in law (Mr. JebaKkani) who has been attending the gathering for the past few years. Being a Christian gathering I eagerly started attending the meetings. I would like to to Mention 3 key points that CBMC has influenced in my life.
1. God is the owner of my business. Being born and raised in a Christian family, I know God is the creator of everything, but when it comes to business I use to think that I'm the owner and God is helping me with the business. But coming to CBMC gave me the right perspective about the business - God is the owner and I am His Supervisor or the Representative of that Business. The former thought made me stressful at times, but the later gave me peace of mind, since He(God) is taking care of everything and He is in complete control over everything that is happening as mentioned in Phil 1:6 (Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.)
2. Two way communication Usually while sharing the word of God, it will be a One Way Communication and even when we don't agree with the things we hear, we are bound to keep ourselfs quite and listen to what is been preached. But in CBMC we have got the privilege of two way communication, to clear our doubts then and there it arises which is very much helpful for me in growing deep in the scriptures.
3. Preaching CBMC also gave me a Stage to Share the Word of God(Preaching), which actually for me is a big deal, helping me in breaking the stage fear and share my scriptural insight with others.
Praise God for CBMC. Hats off to the CBMC team in carrying out such wonderful ministries and reaching out Business men. I am glad I am a part of it now.

Mr Markkandeyan, 32 years old, was born with normal eyesight like every others. He enjoyed his vision until the age of 10. He lost his vision totally when he was 12 years of age, due to denied illness. God who cares for the uncared led him to a Christian Blind School, and he was nurtured there till class 8. As a teen, he produced scented sticks (agarbathis) and earned lot of money. Soon he became an alcoholic and a smoker. Then he was found to have TB and was counting days to breathe his last. A pastor prayed and led him to Christ. He regained his health miraculously. Since then, he started to grow in the Lord's fellowship and weekly leadership meetings. He found his purpose of living - to present and reveal Christ to the fellow brethren. Since then, he started to serve the Lord in order to redeem his fellow brothers in Madurai, who are still in darkness not only due to their blindness but because of their ignorance of the true Light - Jesus! He faithfully ministries to the blind every day, now! Leading them to the Light!

Mr. Augustine Sangma, a business man from Tura, Meghalaya, after attending the leadership conferences, he says that he was able to understand the purpose of God in his business. He feels that he has a role to play in the expansion of Kingdom of God at the marketplace. He started organising Bible camps for the church dropouts, and for the drunkards in his area. In one such camp on March '14, he witnessed about 30 drunkards who accepted Jesus Christ and decided to attend the church regularly. Today, Mr. Augustine is very active in the mission work beside his regular business.

Recently he opened a new restaurant in Chandigarh and in that restaurant he has opened for CBMC fellowship group to be conducted regularly. Under his company 200 staffs are working he is passionate for their blessings.

Praise be to my Lord Saviour ! By His immeasurable grace ,the participation in CBMC commenced from Jan 2015, the study and the discussions followed, opened my spritual eyes to the depth in the verses and made me sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Besides sessions and counsellings conducted were very fruitful. The counselling on handling depts was indeed appealing. It helped me to control and overcome some of my financial crisis.The sessions have moulded my personality to be in Christ and to be a bold witness to others. Bro.Richard's humble approach and teaching reached me, and his words GOD IS AT WORK keeps ringing in my ears. Earlier I thought spritual life and business are separate. But through this fellowship in CBMC I came to know that spirituality & business can be merged and we can prove to be a God's tool and witness at work. I thank god for this oppurtunity!!. By Dr. C. Vasanth Thomas. CBMC meetings and seminars taught many more lessons to my personal and business life. It gives me more intimacy with Jesus Christ and also shaping my medical practice. My partner in business cheated me last year. I was not able to forget his cheating. I was not able to concentrate in my practice. More tension occupied my mind. I prayed for that problem but was not able to come over it.

One fine day I attended CBMC meeting. Jesus spoke with me to forgive him from Mathew chapter 18:21, 22. Suddenly my heart broke and I prayed to Jesus; God please help me to forgive my partner who cheated me in my business. Also we prayed for him and his family. Now I am able forget all his cheatings. My mind relaxed and able to concentrated in my regular activities and family prayer. I got back from him, that maximum lost amount. God leads us in the right way through CBMC. Thank God and thank CBMC.
