Discipleship Ministry
Fall is here!
This year there is extra excitement in the air because ministry opportunities are opening up in East Africa as the 100 + days of shelter-in-place have ended. This month, our communications focus is to describe some of our fall ministry initiatives and ask you to pray for us as we enter a critical three month period for the organization.
The first ministry initiative we’ll tell you about is discipleship.
With respect to our students, our discipleship ministry in both Kenya and Uganda has actually intensified during the pandemic. Because of mandatory quarantines, the students in our care have been in very close quarters with our leadership on a daily basis. Can you and your family relate to that?
During this time of “closeness”, our leaders on the ground in Kenya and Uganda have forged even deeper relationships with our students and have been able to focus on deep relationships with God, self, others, and the rest of creation. In addition, we have worked with our missionary team and students to develop a formalized three and a half week “Discipleship Intensive” training that will occur in November.
The fall season has also opened up the opportunity to work with our partners in the Rhino refugee camp in Uganda. In conjunction with Harvest Church of Arua, we will be continuing to pour into the lives of South Sudanese children and adults who live in the camp. As you may be aware, our missionary team in Uganda is in need of adequate transportation for the rough trip to the refugee camp. You can read more about this need here.
Finally, our discipleship efforts among new believers will also pick up this fall, as training sessions among the Aringa and other Muslim Background Believers are re-scheduled. We have seen these previously unreached people come to Jesus through the witness of fellow ministries working in Uganda, and these ministries have invited us to offer our discipleship training to the new believers. What a joy to see the Holy Spirit teach as we lead them through God’s Word!
Thank you for your support of His Voice Global as we raise up these new leaders for the Kingdom! We are grateful for your prayers and your support, and we are ready like you are to get out of the house!
Ready? Let’s go!
