A Potential 1st Generation Disciple

About a month and a half ago Keegan joined our team. He's a 23-year-old (actually just had his birthday yesterday) from Indiana who felt called by God last year to give his life to making disciples. After going through a Keystone internship last summer, God eventually brought him to the Houston team.

Since being here, Keegan's been a great asset to our body, especially through his diligence and insight as he's gone with many different team members ministering to our disciples and ministry contacts. He's been faithful with everything that's been asked of him, and he's taken the role of a servant to the team many times. But now that a month and a half has gone by, he's looked back and realized that he still hasn't been able to find someone here that he can confidently call a first generation disciple.

A lot of his time so far has been spent joining others' plans, but the last couple weeks it's been a goal of his to network as much as he can in order to find his own contacts and some potential disciples. While he was knocking on doors yesterday in his apartment complex (Los Arcos) he came across a teenager named Juan (not the boy in the picture), who was really friendly and open. They only talked briefly, but Keegan could see that he had some leadership qualities. Also, most Hispanics we've met in Los Arcos aren't too friendly, so Juan really stood out to him.

Keegan plans to continue meeting people each week, whether it's people he passes outside or people he meets at work or other residents of Los Arcos, but he definitely wants to begin testing Juan for discipleship. The next step is to see if he's willing to hang out sometimes, and I know right away Keegan will try to share with him why we're here and what we hope to accomplish.

Please be praying for Keegan. (1) Pray that God would open a door into Juan's life and that Keegan would have wisdom and boldness in ministering to him. (2) Pray that Keegan would continue meeting the right people that he should be pouring into. (3) Pray that Keegan would adjust well to his new job as a housekeeper, which he just started yesterday, and that he'd be a light to his co-workers. Thanks guys!
