Disciple-Making Training Day 4


We continue to be amazed at the pastors hunger and desire to be disciple-makers! They are truly understanding multi-generational disciple-making. They continue to ask for materials and our teaching notes. We will definitely be emailing material to a large number of eager, willing to die Christ Indian pastors. It is mindblowing the number of pastors who have endured persecution. Our day started with Curt teaching on the "Master's Missing Money." Curt is becoming a very good communicator of God's truth! Steve taught "God's Multiplication Table" from 2 Timothy 2:2. The pastors loved image of Paul to Timothy to Faithful Men to Others.

Marlon did not teach today, but will tomorrow.Marlon stands out and is very popular in India - they love him - if he was smaller I think they might try to kidnap him! He already has had to have his Indian clothing made by a tailor because they do not have clothes big enough for him here. He plans to wear his Indian outfit when he ministers to his homeless guys - he actually hopes they will laugh at his crazy looking outfit so that he can tell them about India and what he experienced here!

We went to one of the saddest places I have ever been today - a Hindu temple! People came to worship idols made of rock and metal - they are so deceived! Marlon prayed that fire would come down from heaven and consume the place - the entire team felt the same. India has a lot of problems and only Jesus can fix them!
