Change
During Foundations you will be challenged and many things will surface in your life. Your willingness to change and let
go of everything that is not in accordance with the nature of God in you is essential.
Discipleship
The leadership will guide you to new experiences in Christ. This will be done by different examples and models of
prayer, worship, ministering etc. that you are expected to follow during the course.
Workload
*Schedule of Foundations is as follows*
Apart from this, Foundations requires a considerable amount of homework (reading and written assignments in English
or Spanish). Jobs, ministries, hobbies, etc. that would in any way interfere with the program, homework, and your
performance are not allowed for the duration of the course.
Housing
During the course you will have to live in a house and with the people assigned to you by Foundations. You will have to
share a room with at least one person and help with the daily household chores.
Trip
Foundations will culminate in a 10 day mission trip where we minister to different churches and mission. The eating and
sleeping conditions on this trip might not always be comfortable.
Relationships
FOUNDATION is a time to set yourself apart for God and let Him work in your life. It is therefore not allowed to establish
a romantic relationship or display any kind of romantic behaviour (except married couples) while you are in the course.
If you have any questions please write to foundations@cci.org.mx and only apply for the course if you have no
problems with any of the above.

Foundations

1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. (Matthew 22:37)
A. - Devotional Life
Now this is the eternal life: That they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent
(John 17:3).
This is what the Lord says: ”Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts, boast about this: that he understands and knows
me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these things I
delight” (Jeremiah 9:23-24).
D.- Identity
...to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:23-24).
...and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator
(Colossians 3:10).
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...(Proverbs 23:7).
In our new identity we now have:
-Total forgiveness
-The Nature of the father
-The Righteousness of Christ
-Authority
-Power
F.- Stewardship
”...Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this” says the
Lord Almighty “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that
you will not have room enough for it” (Malachi 3:10).
C.- Mercy
"He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens
are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him" (Psalm 103:10-11).
Because judgement without mercy will be shown to everyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over
judgement! (James 2:13).
F.- Restoration
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or
you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ
(Galatians 6:1-2).
G.- Faithfulness
My eyes will be on the faithful in the land (Psalm 101:6).
Who then is the faithful and the wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his
household to give them their food at the proper time? (Matthew 24:45).
Whoever can be trusted with very little… (Luke 16:10).
...but to show that they can be fully trusted… (Titus 2:10).
H.- Loyalty
...And not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the
teaching about God our Savoir attractive (Titus 2:10).
Loyalty must be shown towards God, delegated leadership and authorities.
RULES
During Foundations you must abstain from all kinds of narcotic drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
You must arrive on time, attend and participate actively in all classes, activities and obligatory church meetings
unless you have a special arrangement with the management.
If you cannot attend a meeting or activity you must get permission from the management beforehand.
You must buy the tapes if available and make notes of the session/meeting you missed.
You must be in your own house before 12:00 a.m. unless you have a special arrangement with the
management
You must keep your living quarters clean and follow the house rules set by the house you are living in.
You cannot have a job or other activities that in any way interfere with the classes and activities of Foundations
You must follow all instructions from the Foundations staff. You must report it to the leadership if you feel
unable to do so.
Your speech, behaviour and lifestyle must at all times be pure, fitting for a Christian and not be offensive to
others.
Agreement
I understand that not following these values and rules can and will lead to my expulsion from Foundations.
