In North India, some women have been trained in making disciples. They have been faithful to apply what they’ve learned and are experiencing joy from bearing fruit. They have also cast a vision for disciple-making in six districts of their state.
One of the leaders of this group, a lovely and gentle woman, recently shared her testimony. Two years ago, she became a follower of Christ. She, her husband, and their children had been idol worshipers. Her family was “broken and terrible.” Then one day, she says, it was as if a light suddenly came on. That was the day she attended a Bible study in a nearby home. She loved it. After participating in the Bible study for three months, she wanted to start one in her own home. Soon, she and her whole family were baptized.
Today, through ongoing obedience to the Word and the application of its truths to their lives, this woman and her whole family have been changed. They actively share with others all that God has done for them. This one woman has started nine different Discovery Groups from which have come seven generations of disciples making disciples!
