Dear CTKers,
Arrows Out generic logo 
The tulips are coming up here in the Skagit Valley, so that must mean Easter is almost here.  And that means one more chance for us to share the best news the world has ever heard.  Wherever you are, I hope you will take time this week to meditate on the scriptures that tell the story of our salvation through Jesus' suffering, and invite someone to worship this Easter weekend. It could just change their eternity.  
 
Sincerely,
Director, CTK Network Resources
CTK Kenya growing one small group at a time, facing financial challenges
 
Bungoma small group leaders
Pastor Salim Mayeki Shaban of CTK Bungoma (Kenya) sends his greetings to all other CTKers.  He recently held a small group leaders' training that included 100 small group leaders in the village of Kakamega. Salim says,  "God is on the move and opening many incredible doors all over the world! We need your faithful prayers now more than ever as we continue to invade areas of the world where Satan and his demons are heavily active." 
 
Elsewhere in Kenya, National Pastor Austin Oyula is prayerfully seeking God's provision for a place to worship in Nairobi, where their current rented facility is now for sale.  Because they minister to many very poor people, securing funding for building a new site is an overwhelming challenge.  At the same time, Pastor Austin shares that a group of believers in Buruburu needs a new facility as well, due to health hazards at their current location.  Will you pray for Salim, Austin, and our other leaders in places such as Pakistan, South Africa, and India who are bringing the gospel to their people with great personal sacrifice?  If God should move on your heart to support these works financially, click here.

CTK preparing for new online community: 
The City
The City logoIn late April, CTK will launch a new online community called "The City". Much like Facebook, "The City" will enable every worship center, every small group, every worship team, and any group of any kind to communicate with each other easily in an online community.  In fact, users of "The City" will be able to publish information about CTK events right to their Facebook wall from within "The City".  Every CTK attender will now be able to view and edit their own personal profile, and select their own privacy settings regarding their personal information.  If you attend CTK, be watching for more information about this exciting development in the coming weeks.

Update: Bikes for CTK Pakistan Pastors 
bike
Thank you to everyone who contributed to help provide bicycles for 5 CTK Pastors in Pakistan.  Last month the need was shared, and through the generous gifts of a few individuals and the congregations of CTK Lynnwood (Shine) and CTK Black Hawk (CO), funds were sent to our CTK Pakistan headquarters earlier this month.   Now these pastors will be able to spend more time ministering to people instead of simply walking long distances.
