Besides
child evangelism (through Operation Christmas Child), Samaritan´s Purse also
equips churches in child discipleship. After
the children receive their Christmas shoebox of gifts, they are invited to
continue attending church to study more about Jesus through
the discipleship
program “The Greatest Journey”. Therefore,
our Samaritan´s Purse team in Tlaxcala not only prepares the churches for “Operation
Christmas Child” but also trains the churches to disciple their children using
the program “The Greatest Journey”.
Paco, as the
assistant discipleship coordinator of Tlaxcala, attended conferences on “The
Greatest Journey” in Mexico City this month, along with our regional
coordinator. There he met Samaritan´s
Purse team leaders from each state of Mexico, and heard
both their testimonies
and struggles of training churches in their state. The
conference was a huge blessing for Paco and our Tlaxcala team, as he gained new
material and ideas to help our Tlaxcala churches disciple their children!
And, the
Lord protected him during his three day stay in Mexico City (even if he was
stuck 2 hours in rush hour traffic in one of the biggest cities in the
world!). Now that he returned, we are
working as a team to incorporate these new ideas for the program!
