Making disciples who make disciples
Making disciples who make disciples. Â Â More and more, everyday we have been adjusting our plans to fulfill the Great Commission. We want to see the picture above in many homes to come. In January, we made two trips to the villiage. |
Simple, Practical, and Reproducible
Our focus, when teaching and planning the lessons is to make everything: simple, practical and reproducible. Â Because of this approach, we are making a simple manual to help make disciples. We are teaching this manual in the village by focusing on our core group of around five people. The goal is that after learning, they will then go and be able to use the same manual to make more disciples! This manual is specifially made for the people in the village. It contains lots of pictures so that those who are unable to read can look at the images and still make disciples. |
Teaching the Youth
 We also want to teach these principles to the 13-15 year olds. The school in the village is only an elementrary school. So after they graduate from elementary, the boys start helping the dad hunt and fish.  The girls help cook, care for thier siblings and bring water in the house with their mom. However, most of the time the girls get pregnant around age of 13. Consequently, they stop going to church.    So, we have started purposefully working with a group of them. |
Spiritual Warfare
One thing our team has been studying is Ephesians 6:10-17, the armor of God. The enemy has been doing his job by sparking division between some of our city team and the people from the village. Â This verse has been a good reminder that our fight is not against them but against the spirits involved in their traditional ceremonies. So, we get ready to fight with prayer; recognizing our dependence is not in our wisdom but God's word. |
Please pray as we put on our armor every time we go to the village.
How can we pray for you?
