End of Study: New Believers' Discipleship

The last 4 months, we joint led a NEW BELIEVERS’  DISCIPLESHIP  STUDY every Sunday afternoon. 

Nine new believers participated in the study-not only attending our Sunday session, but reading Bible chapters, memorizing a Bible verse, answering

homework questions, and learning the books of the Bible each week. 

Wow- there are too many testimonies to describe all that God did in the lives of each participant during this study.  It was truly a joy to witness their discovery of Christ’s Word and their effort to apply it to their

lives.  I was so blessed to study and learn with them. 

Just a few of the testimonies:

-Jose Luis (28yrs old) accepted Christ the day of our first study.  After two months, he shared that the church had

become his family and Christ had become his life.  He had never felt so loved before.

-Silvia, Leandro and family were new to our church when we started the study.  I cannot believe the transformation in their lives!  Silvia reads a chapter of the Bible every

evening, most times out loud to her husband (who cannot read).  She asks for prayer every week to be more loving to her husband and children.  She even counseled her sister last week to trust and obey the Lord in her problems!

Leandro, her husband, who had resisted the faith for years,

now looks for ways to bless his church family- receiving us in his home and bringing food to share on Sundays. 

-Carmen taught every memory verse each week to her two young daughters, as she memorized the verses herself. 

She and Alma (another member of the study) are so desirous to obey God that they now want to marry their husbands (instead of living in free union) and be baptized.

-Angi and Evelin have walked with Christ for years, but never read the Bible on their own.  They joined this study to reaffirm their faith and discipline their lives in regular Bible reading.  We rejoiced with them with each book of the Bible they finished reading.

At the end of our 4 month study, our group (students, teachers, and families) gathered to celebrate with a fellowship meal.  May the Lord continue to work in the lives of each of His disciples!!
