Discipleship

As you are probably aware, the Ninth and O team leaves this Saturday for Peru. It is an exciting trip for the men who are going, as they will have many opportunities to proclaim the gospel of Christ and advance His Kingdom.

One of those opportunities will be discipleship with the new believers in Ancahuasi. On the last trip, around 25 people confessed Christ as Savior and trusted in Him for the forgiveness of their sins. On this trip, the team will be doing some beginning discipleship with these new believers. Discipleship is something that we want to be committed to as we work among these people in Anta province. We want to be a church that is faithfully fulfilling all of Christ's commission.

To that end, please be in prayer on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week as those are days scheduled for intentional, focused discipleship. The team is using some Spanish language curriculum published by Grace Community Church in California. Please pray that this curriculum will be effective and helpful for the people. If it is not, please pray that the team members would have the wisdom and the skill to amend it as necessary. Also, pray that these times of discipleship will be instrumental in rooting these new believers in the gospel of Christ. It is our pray that these Christians will be the first of many who will turn to Christ in Ancahuasi and the province of Anta.

"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
- Colossians 2.6-7

May it be so among the Christians in Ancahuasi.
