Faithful in Hardship
When faced with hardship, do you give up? Or persevere in faith?
Serving the Body of Christ around the world is a real privilege for Global Disciples. We partner with churches to provide training that helps them fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ—to go make disciples.
In some places, partnerships are just beginning. And as potential is unlimited, as we see in one country in South East Asia.
In one particular region, our involvement has been primarily in providing small business training for local church leaders. Global Disciples gives them a way to support their families and ministry as they go out and plant new churches.
As God opens the door, we want to begin discipleship-mission training before long. In this country, most Christians belong to ethnic minorities. They face great opposition from their Buddhist or animist neighbors and from the Communist authorities.
A group of believers in this nation lost their homes and their farmland because of their faith in Jesus.
Some were even former members of the Communist Party.
Their coffee crops were destroyed, livestock was killed, and food stores were stolen. At one point, local officials came in with a backhoe and just pushed the believers’ homes into the river!
Undeterred, this small fellowship relocated, and set up in tents.
God is Faithful Through Hardship
And, though they’re now on land that’s poorly suited for farming, God is blessing their hard work.
An evangelist in the region visits regularly, and he reported that even with all the difficulties, this small fellowship goes out regularly to share the Good News of Jesus with others.
To have discipleship-mission training would be a tremendous help for these communities of Christ followers, like this group in South East Asia.
They’re eager to have the tools to multiply the Body of Christ, to make and nurture disciples of Jesus, and to plant new churches.
Despite hardship, opposition, limited resources, and many other hurdles, they’re ready to reach 38 people groups that are still without the glorious Good News of Jesus in that region.
Let’s do our part—as we pray for them and work together to accomplish the Great Commission.
Global Disciples Canada is a Christian mission organization that trains local leaders living near least-reached communities to multiply disciples for Christ. One-third of our world hasn’t heard the Good News of Jesus. Yet. Global Disciples refers to these as “least-reached” people, and fewer than 10% of all missionaries work among these groups. We live in a time where many of these people are within reach of a local church. Through our simple and effective strategy of training and coaching, believers share the Gospel in their own nations and cultures. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations,” and we’re committed to doing just that. If you are looking for a Christian mission organization to partner with to become a better disciple and help make disciples, connect with us today!
