Just wanted to give an update on Sabisua (he's the shorter one in the picture)…
I (Jacob) have
been discipling him about 3 months now, mostly teaching him what it means to be
a solid disciple of Jesus. When I first started working with him I had a sense
he might be unfaithful in the long run and lose interest quickly. This was
partly because of the many other Nepali adults like him I’ve tried to work
with. But I’ve been really surprised to see his level of faithfulness so far.
Pretty much every time I’ve gone to his apartment he makes
time to meet with me, no matter what he’s doing, which is something I haven’t
seen in any of the other adults we’ve discipled. And each time we meet he’s
slightly more excited to go deeper with Christ and begin making disciples.
He was praying about who he could possibly share his faith
with, and God laid one of his friends on his heart, Karkha. So he and I went to
meet with Karkha last Sunday and shared the gospel with him. He had considered
himself a Christian, but he didn’t know what it means to follow Jesus or how he
himself could be saved. So he ended up praying to receive the Holy Spirit and
to begin following Christ. We’ve met with Karkha a couple times since then, and
he’s still just learning the basics of how to be a disciple.
Anyway, please be praying for these guys, as they could be
an important key to reaching the huge Nepali Hindu people group in Los Arcos.
Please pray (1) that Sabisua would understand God’s vision in a deeper way and
begin ministering to more people than just Karkha, (2) that Sabisua and I would
have great wisdom in how to disciple Karkha effectively, and (3) that Karkha
would develop a personal relationship with Jesus in the coming weeks, so that
everything he does would be out of desire rather than obligation. Thanks!
