“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...teaching them to observe all that I commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20a, NASB)

Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, praying with you for those being trained.

A Training for Trainers (T4T) event is taking place in Moscow on November 20-23. Leaders ask you to join them in praying that those trained will show radical obedience to Jesus by modeling/implementing their training to empower local believers for personal evangelism, multiplicative disciple making, and the starting of new Bible groups. A new T4T group was started in Ufa, Russia in late September and meets two Wednesday evenings per month. 

An outreach program that took place this fall among Island peoples of the Indian Ocean was a huge success, and much fruit is coming from the Bibles that were distributed. New T4T groups are also beginning in several places on the island. Workers are excited and expectant, in which disciples are being taught who will make disciples, in accord with the Great Commission.

Earlier this year, Baptist representative Ross Mackin and his wife, Shirley, began traveling to churches throughout Central Thailand, sharing basic evangelism training. In T4T, participants are held highly accountable during group time for demonstrating what they are learning and practicing those new skills in their communities. One day Khun Gloria*, a young pastor’s wife who had been a believer for many years, stated, “I never thought evangelism was important. I now realize that the reason was because I felt very uncomfortable. I just didn’t know how to share my faith with others.” She went on to express her gratitude for the simple training she was receiving that allowed her to follow Christ’s command to go into the world. 

* Please pray for this young woman in Thailand, Khun Gloria, as she begins to truly share her faith for the first time. 

* Join workers in the Indian Ocean as they celebrate the work God is doing in the island.

* Ask God to bless the participants of the training in Russia and for discipling groups to emerge as a result.
