Finding Joy in Discipleship

Have you lost your joy?

Leading others, serving the Body of Christ, seeking the lost is a big mission. Sadly, discouragement affects leaders too. However, a season of renewal can make all the difference.

“My life has taken an important turn,” Simon said. “Before the leadership training, I didn’t know the Lord very well. Today I give thanks to the Lord that my longing to be part of God’s mission is a reality. This is the greatest opportunity God has given me—the most meaningful of my life.”

As a church leader in Mexico, Simon was reflecting on his experience in a leadership development program, launched with the help of Global Disciples.

In parts of the world—Mexico included—many pastors and church leaders may have limited training or few opportunities to further their leadership skills. Consequently, this is a serious problem.

Global Disciples provide training for local church leaders. Did you know we partner with the local church? In fact, it’s how we build up the Body of Christ, even as we seek to encourage its multiplication among least-reached people.

Pablo is the director of this leadership training program in Mexico and passed along testimonies from the participants. Hector was in attendance and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, for the life change he experienced, and what it meant for his ministry in these days and the days to come.

“ A year ago, my spiritual life was in ruins” Hector said.

“The joy of serving the Lord was over. At that time, I was led to be involved in this training. Today I am leading the mission effort in my area, and I have recovered my love for lost souls.

Serving the Lord is a joyful experience. In fact, I feel fulfilled serving Him, searching for the unbeliever, and restoring broken people. Subsequently, Global Disciples has been used to restore my love for the Lord.”

Can you imagine? What a privilege we have to equip leaders like Hector and Simon, who are growing into passionate,Christ-like leaders. Don’t you agree that the church and the Body of Christ need these kind of people all over the world?

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. In fact, 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.
