Day 3 (Tuesday):
Please lock arms with us in prayer as we head to
the next place tomorrow morning (Wednesday).
We will be training a group of youth pastors in disciple making tomorrow night. Pepper will be
teaching the Great Commission and Vocabulary.
Marco will be teaching Vision and Strategy. Thursday the group will all be
teaching on disciple making from morning to evening. We are
praying for this group to see the Master’s plan to make disciples to all
nations. This group of youth
pastors/leaders will be the next generation of leaders in this country and beyond. The potential influence the Lord may give
them is huge. Pray for them to see the
vision and for the vision to hit them from their mind to their feet.

Thank you all for the prayer and support. This morning we were able to spend time praying and prepping
for the next few days of teaching. This
afternoon and through the evening we spent time in a local village working with
a ministry that consisted of a group of local pastors working together. This was an outreach event that was and will
be memorable. Our team left there
speechless to say the least. We will be
pondering on, reflecting on, and strategizing on the events from this night for
some time.
For the outreach event, the ministry uses a medium sized cargo truck that has the back converted and decorated to look like a large present.
The side of the truck folded down which converted the truck into a stage
that they use to play worship music and preach from. They also use this truck to host events and
build relationships in areas of the city where they want to plant churches. Before they started the evening event with
the truck, they invited all the locals starting around noon to come to two of
the local churches to have beauty care services performed. The ministry partnered with a local beauty
school that provided free services as part of their training. This gave us an opportunity to spend time
sharing the gospel with both the women and men who were being served, and with
the women from the beauty school.
