Discipleship in Action

     The Core Event strategy is when a mature believer and a young believer work together to to share Jesus with a non believer. We are excited to hear how this strategy is happening by a few locals in Central Asia. Two local coffee shop workers, “Kristina” and “Evelyne” have been encouraging each other in their faith as Kristina’s disciples the young believer Evelyne. 

     A few months ago, the women worked together to share the good news of Jesus with “Xana”, a non believer who is closely tied to the cafes.  Evelyne learned a lot from how Kristina comfortably wove the topic of Jesus into conversation without intimidating Xana.  It is really exciting to hear how nationals are practicing their faith by the initiation of discipleship and evangelism to non believers on their own. 

Please pray for this Core Event strategy to grow among nationals in the coffee shop and the believing community. Pray that God would soften Xana's heart to receive His grace, and that she would experience the joy of being part of the body of Christ. 

Jesus working through dreams and businesses

   “Lilly” was in for a surprise as she began to frequent one of the coffee shops in Central Asia. What was once her stop for in-house roasted coffee and delicious pastries or sandwiches soon became a chance to improve her ability to speak English. She found out that right above the coffee shop, was an English School.

     A couple semesters back, Lilly began taking English classes and even has brought her son and daughter to an English camp. The English school and Cafe have provided Lilly with an environment to make many friendships. These friendships have allowed for much conversation, in which Lilly has shared an interesting dream that she experienced. We have met and heard of many people from this culture that have experienced very powerful spiritual dreams, often in which Jesus appears to them. 

In the dream she saw herself surrounded by trash (which she interpreted as the bad in her life), but a spring of refreshing water near as well. The trust and friendship our team has made with Lilly has allowed for them to tell her about Jesus being the living water. They have given her a Bible and she continues to investigate more truths about Jesus as well. 

We are strong believers in how the teamwork of the English school and cafe ministries are used by Jesus to change lives in such an unreached area of the world. Lilly’s story is an exciting example of what we are eager to be a part of.
