2nd Module - Discipleship Training

We were rather concerned when the 2nd module of our Discipleship Training Class was fast approaching, but the class material was just not "coming together." When the day arrived, our team prayed together one more time. . .and we just did not seem to have an answer from God. So, Bob decided to go outside and walk around.

Bob walked several buildings away to the classroom, and to his surprise found several NEW attendees already waiting--very un-Tanzanian to be early. Bob returned to the house to tell us, and then we understood--God was not working with us on new material particularly because He had a different plan!

We came to understand that there were several pastors at the large Ministers Conference the week previous who "heard through the grapevine" that we were having another class. Although they knew the Discipleship Training was meant to be for a small group, by special invitation, they were desperate and bold enough to "crash the training." Surprise!

Though this wasn't what we had planned, God knew what He was doing. Since one of the key concepts of discipleship is about making more disciples, our class had the wonderful opportunity to begin doing that now. And so, we enlisted members of the first class to help us teach the new class members. They got hands-on experience, and they did it! What a blessing!
