“I have never experienced that before.”
|
Dear Friends,
We are so thankful to God for you, as God leads us in working to reach people who do not know Jesus, to share the Gospel with them, and to come alongside followers of Jesus to see them built up in their faith. God has used your prayers and generous gifts in this work. Thank you!

Our new life in Jesus is one of the most important stories we can tell. One college student we worked with had a fear of sharing her testimony when she started working with us. We had 10 weeks to build them up in their faith and during that time, we were able to study the bible with them, help them write out and share their testimony, and do lots of outreach and ministry together. At the end, we asked about their highlight of the ministry. “Having one-on-one discipleship. One high school student I met with didn’t want to have much to do with God, but a few weeks later, I got a letter from her talking about wanting to have a relationship with God!” – “I really loved being discipled…I have never experienced that before.”

Over the years, we have come to understand that discipleship is not a start-and-finish process. It is a lifelong process where Jesus causes life change as we put our faith into action. We believe God has used us to help people grow in their faith, but it is only part of a lifelong journey for that person. Praise God for the part He has called us to play in His work. Philippians 1:6
“being confident of this, that he [God] who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
In Christ's love,
