What is CCI? CCI is not a building, not even a curriculum. It is not a schooling system. CCI is all of us, we are CCI. We are servants, teachers, students, mothers, sons, daughters and fathers. We are God’s children, sons and daughters of the most high king. But most of all it has taught me to be a hard worker! We are a family that love and support each other unconditionally. 1 John 3: 14 says, “ We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” This is a sure sign that we have eternal life. CCI has taught me many things. It has taught me to be patient, kind, submissive, selfless, compassionate, humble and loving.

I have some questions for all of my fans out there, waiting to hear from me!! (Just kidding) Where did sin originate? I mean, obviously sin comes from Satan, right? And Satan was prideful (that is where sin first came into existence) But where in the world did pride come from in the first place? Why did sin first occur in heaven? Isn't heaven a perfect place, where sin abideth not? These are some questions that I and people from my youth group have encountered lately and we need a little help to find the answers! Hope to hear from lots of people!! Loving all, in Christ: Ruth Romer!
