"I Prayed and Asked God Where to Go"

During disciple-making movement trainings Roger oftentimes chooses a random person to ask questions about themselves and their work. Typically, this is someone he knows very little about, so he has no idea what or how successful they might be in their efforts to share Jesus Christ with others. The other day he chose five different people. Here’s just one of their stories:

Rebecca

“I have a passion to go to new places and share God with others. I learned from the Bible for myself what it says and because of what I know about God, it’s Him who made me want to tell others. So, I pray to God and ask Him where to go and what to do. Now I have started five house churches with God’s help.”

Roger asked, “What is the most recent group you have started?”

“Two weeks ago, I prayed and asked God where to go. The Holy Spirit gave me direction so I walked for one hour to somewhere I didn’t know anyone. When I got to that place there was another visitor from outside (of the community) who joined me and invited me to go with her to her relative’s house. That relative told me about a neighbor where there was a child who was sick and asked me to go there. We sat for so long in that house and then I said, ‘Let’s stand and pray for this sick child,’ so we did. I also shared some things from my life and from the Word of God. I told that lady that I had to go but I would come back tomorrow. I went back the next day and the child had become healed. That was two weeks ago and now I have seen those people four times since that first meeting. Now we have three more people in the first house and two more in the second house. We do Discovery Bible Study together.”

Story after story, person after person willing to listen, willing to go, willing to share their hearts and lives and resources with others. It’s always exciting and inspiring to be with humble people with a passion for God and for people.
