6 NEW DISCIPLES OF JESUS

We thank God for raising 6 new disciples of Jesus last Sunday. Our discipleship course began on April 30, 2017 and ended on August 27, 2017. These were almost 4 months of training where discipleship candidates were trained in the following areas:  Personal Devotion, Service, A Disciple’s Material Life, and Preaching. The course was led by Bolivian shepherds along with the collaboration of M. Esteban Cho.

During the 4 months of training, disciple candidates struggled to write Daily Bread at least 3 times a week. At first, they struggled not to sleep in but rather to write in the early morning. Little by little, they developed the discipline of doing Daily Bread and many of them began writing 4-5 times per week with much grace and love for God’s word.

Many of them struggled personally with professional job placement, future security (earning more money), worry over work and school studies, human love (establishing a family), and wounds from the past (divorce, being abandoned by their parents and rejection). As we ended the course, we meditated on how to overcome such struggles. They received Deuteronomy 8:13 and with God’s love all finished the course, and strengthened with much grace and a desire to personally do Daily Bread before God from now on.

Thank you for your prayer support. We are so happy to see the work of God in Bolivia! We pray that our country may be used as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for South America and the world.
