Young Los Arcos Disciples

As we’re nearing the end of the year it’s great to be able to look back and see all that God has done within and through our team, and in particular, to establish a new ministry team in Los Arcos. And as the ministry here and the teams continue to change, it’s especially encouraging to see certain disciples remain faithful month after month.

Jacob has been discipling two boys for the 8 months he’s lived in Los Arcos, Greatday and Sangay (both about 12 years old). Despite their age, their intentionality and value for the Kingdom has been surprisingly consistent, and God continues to grow them as leaders. In addition to discipling certain key leaders, they lead a boys group every Friday (with only a bit of help from Jacob :)

Sangay (the 1st picture), a Nepali refugee, has been helping Alexis (Hispanic) to disciple Sujan (Nepali), who’s discipling Sandip (Nepali). In the past couple months Alexis has been unfaithful in discipleship, so Sangay has begun to work directly with Sujan.

Jacob was also discipling Sangay’s dad, Man, for a couple months (he was on the prayer blog a month ago). However, Man has been much busier with work as Christmas approaches, so discipleship has gone much slower. Man hopes to start looking for a disciple as soon as work slows down again.

Greatday (the 2nd picture), a Karen refugee, has been discipling both Mi Reh (Karenni) and Rekish (Nepali). Rekish, in turn, recently started discipling Dipesh (Nepali), and Mi Reh has been looking for a disciple.

Through the leading of the Spirit, Greatday and Sangay are leading many around them closer to Christ on a daily basis. Please lift them up in prayer as they continue to seek after Him. In particular, they could use prayer (1) that their disciples would see God’s vision in a deeper, more practical way and become more committed to the mission in general. (2) Pray that Greatday and Sangay would develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ over the coming weeks. And finally, (3) pray that God would grow a burden in their hearts for their own people, as we believe they could be key in seeing movements launched in the Nepali and Karen people groups. Thanks!
