Dear CCF family and friends,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ!
My wife Deonna and I, along with the CCF elders and pastors
greet you with Christ’s love as we welcome you to this year’s
IDC, “ANCHORED: Standing True Against the Tide”.
We are grateful that after 3 years, IDC is now back onsite
for face-to-face fellowship.
From the pandemic, high inflation and threat of regional
conflict, the issues that affect our everyday lives are no
longer contained within our churches, family, cultural,
or geopolitical boundaries. Today, we are more
interdependent and connected to the same problems
and challenges like never before. God’s family must stay
ANCHORED in Christ and stand true upon His written
Word especially as we work to see individuals, families,
communities, and nations truly transformed.
 THIS CAN BE A
DEFINING MOMEN
FOR THE CHURCH
Through IDC 2023, our CCF family and the brethren from
other Christian churches joining us will hear messages
on how we can keep ourselves, our families, discipleship
groups and churches of all sizes anchored in Jesus.
We will learn from the workshops how we can stand firm and
united against a rising tide of anti-biblical values and anti-
Christian worldview rhetoric that has now reached our shores
through social media, schools, influencers,
and even from some of our leaders.
Our Lord’s marching order has not changed —
make disciples of all the nations, with the promise that He
will be with us until the end. May IDC 2023 strengthen our
resolve to be anchored in Christ as we stand united against
the tide of moral decay, spiritual apathy, Biblical illiteracy
and anti-Christian worldviews. May our conviction and
commitment to fulfill the Great Commission burn brighter as
we fellowship, worship, and learn together at IDC 2023.

Giving all glory, honor and praise to Christ alone,

Dr. Peter Tan-chi
CCF Co-founder and Senior Pastor

 STANDING TRUE AND
THRIVING IN BUSINESS
Business leaders carry heavy burdens
and face unique challenges, one of
which is being successful without
compromising biblical values. This
workshop aims to encourage Christian
business owners and C-level business
executives not just to survive but thrive,
as champions in the business sector
will share ways to use the unique
opportunities business leaders have in
serving God.
HOUSE FELLOWSHIPS:
NEW TESTAMENT
STRATEGY REDISCOVERED
Through multiplying house churches,
believers in the New Testament
caused the Christian movement to
spread rapidly and impact the entire
Roman empire in a short period of
time. Can the same thing happen
today? Know more about CCF’s new
strategy for beginning and multiplying
house fellowships, hear stories from
all over the world, and take up the
challenge to join the movement!

THE CHRISTIAN AND
NATION-BUILDING
God designed the church to be
united under Christ — and the enemy
wastes no time trying to tear it apart.
Political differences, biblical illiteracy,
“wokeness”, and unnecessary
dissension are just a few that threaten
to dim the light and weaken the voice
of the church against present-day
anti-Biblical beliefs. Blessed is the
nation whose God is the Lord — so
what should we stand for, and how can
we stand as a church united in Christ?
Discover the answers in this workshop.
DGROUP 101:
A BLUEPRINT FOR YOUR
DISCIPLE-MAKING JOURNEY
Making disciples is a calling for all
Christ-followers to fulfill. CCF follows
a Bible-based blueprint for every
believer’s discipleship journey towards
Christlikeness, resulting in spiritual
multiplication. Discover this four-stage
strategy for the most important journey
in life, and walk together with the
church in obedience to Christ’s great
commission!
AWAKEN:
UNDERSTANDING THE WOKE
AND PROGRESSIVE GENERATION
THROUGH BIBLICAL LENS
The rise of a woke, online, progressive,
and liberal generation has led to an
equal rise in divergent present-day
Christians: some disengage, while some
engage — some eventually being part
of it themselves. Our calling to share
the Gospel and make disciples does
not exempt this generation, but there is
wisdom in understanding them with a
biblical mindset. Learn how and take up
the challenge in this workshop.
UNLOCKING
STORM-PROOF
YOUR FAMILY:
NAVIGATING THE DANGERS
OF THE DIGITAL WORLD
We live in an increasingly digital
world where online content strongly
influences our culture and way of life,
and information is available at the tip of
our fingers. But this new world comes
with a catch: pornography is also easily
accessible, and twisted truths become
weapons of influence.
How can families protect themselves
from these “digital storms”, and how
can they be salt and light to people
that desperately need Jesus Christ?
Find out how and learn the art of digital

THE END TIMES:

discernment in this workshop.

YOU ARE THE KEY!

Did you know that you could ON EVANGELISM
accelerate the return of Jesus? The
Bible points to one key condition for
Jesus to return: that the gospel must
first go to the ends of the earth! In
this session you will hear what CCF
Beyond is doing to help unlock this
final door, and how you can be a part.
Understand your important role in
fulfilling the Great Commission, not
only in the Philippines but all around
the world and find practical ways that
you can be a part.
