April 2023 Missions Update

Dear Partners and Friends,

Greetings in Jesus’ name! We trust all is well with you as you carry out the work that God has purposed for you.

March Results

The team to the South saw 4,812 souls make decisions for Christ. The team is continuing to develop a more extensive discipleship program for those who have received Christ.

Expanding Discipleship

In the Central region, the Superintendent has required that all churches choose at least one leader to assist the pastor in follow-up for the newly saved. Larger churches will have more. Each new believer will receive a personal visit and be invited to attend discipleship meetings in a designated house. Programs will last between 6–12 weeks depending on the location.

In the Eastern district, leaders are training church leaders for follow-up and discipleship. Each trained leader will receive monthly calls from a ministry team leader for encouragement and guidance.

Testimonies

  • Silvio: Ministered to Yunaika, who had been battling suicidal thoughts. After receiving Christ, she was freed, and her daughter was also delivered from the same struggles after salvation. Their family rejoices in God’s transforming power.
  • Annia: Received permission to hold a 3-day crusade in North of Tunas. 176 people attended, with 28 accepting Christ. Many others experienced healing and deliverance.
  • Manuel: Shared about ministering to a high-ranking prison official injured in an accident. Recently, both he and his wife received Christ and now plan to attend church. Glory to God!
