Discipleship training completed in Myanmar

Students teach each other T4T during our final day

of the three-day seminar.

Our third and final day of discipleship training in Myanmar is complete, and it was an exciting day. There’s not much more inspiring to me than seeing 60 people excited about fulfilling the Great Commission in their lives.

One of the most important parts of T4T is giving time for those we are training to teach each other and make sure they are doing it correctly. After two days of Martha and me teaching, we let the students teach. They divided into groups of 2, 3 and 4 and took turns teaching each other.

It was thrilling to watch them teach. Their excitement filled the room. Pastors Mang, Siang and Eng walked around the room making sure the students were teaching correctly. Martha and I observed with them and they interpreted for us.

Afterward we had a Q&A session, and that was fun. They asked excellent questions that were really challenging. When all was said and done, the students, pastors and missionaries were ready to go out and live the Great Commission like never before, and so were we. God tells us in Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” We were all sharpened these past three days.

During the afternoon session, Martha and I shared and taught the “Creation to Christ” story. This is an awesome evangelistic tool, and especially in a country where 85 percent of the population has never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

One of the students asked during the first day of the seminar how to reach people who have never heard of the Gospel. I told him to hold on and we will show them all through the Creation to Christ story.  It gives the listener a solid foundation of who God is, why He sent Jesus, and how they can reconnect  with God through Jesus and have eternal life. They were also very excited to receive this teaching.

Please pray for these 60 individuals as they take what they have learned and do what Jesus says in the Great Commission ... “Go, and make disciples of all nations.”
