Our leaders in South Asia are church planters. A church is defined as one that has 20 baptized believers, including children which number from 6 to 8. The leader of the church is called a coach.
Church Planters in South Asia
Vishwanath is a coach serving the Lord at Ambedkar Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh. In 2016 he came to know about “The Prayer Covenant book for Kids”. Initially it was difficult for him to teach the children, because of his age, but he took interest and read the entire book many times until he fully understood it and began teaching the children and others so they too could help teach even more children. A girl named Ayushi attended the Sunday school classes regularly. She learned new songs and stories about Jesus Christ through the Prayer Covenant and received Jesus Christ into her life. She experienced God’s love and Salvation through Jesus Christ alone.
Children Sharing The Gospel
One day when she returned home from Sunday school, she shared the gospel with her parents. After listening to her, the parents became amazed by the story. They became curious and wanted to know more about Jesus. Her father asked where she had learned these things and then asked her to invite her Coach to their home. She did and introduced him to her parents, and as he began sharing about Jesus, Ayushi’s father had some questions. He asked, “What will happen if I accept Jesus?” The Coach shared with them the Four Spiritual Laws and explained the gospel and invited them to pray to receive Jesus Christ. That day Ayushi’s parents received Jesus Christ into their heart and began attending the fellowship on Sunday. Now they are regularly attending and growing in Christ, experiencing God’s love, joy and peace in their lives and family. God saved Ayushi and through her life her parents are now saved.
Our coach Raj Singh uses the Prayer Covenant books for Kids in his village where he conducts the fellowship. The Prayer Covenant books for kids have greatly impacted the children’s lives. Children are growing in the Lord and cultivating a fruitful prayer life. They are sharing with their parents that do not know the Lord all that they are learning. Last month we saw an increase in our Sunday school class of 8 children who are now attending regularly. Sometimes parents come with their children and hear the gospel.
