Prayer Points

People have been trained and/or have had follow up training in Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Niger, Mali, Gambia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Please pray that they become Disciple Making Movement implementers. 

For those that Amy and I are coaching through the online Zume Discipleship Training pray that they will also figure out how to implement the training and make many multiplying disciples.

I have begun to group people that I am coaching in the same country together in a WhatsApp group and encouraging them to meet together for strategizing and encouragement. Pray that the group of 7 in Uganda begin to work together.

I would like to send Isaac there to MAWL (Model, Assist, Watch and Leave) DMM implementers in various countries.

Please pray for these DMM leaders to break the chains of the culture and become true men of moral character, humility and vision.

I think it is good that we will be returning to the US and operating remotely largely to be closer to good medical assistance. I need to be seeing a Nephrologist (kidney Doctor) plus my knees are causing me much pain. I hope some more shots will help or possibly knee surgery. 

Malaria, Typhoid and the ever spreading Covid virus are a continued threat to the spread of DMM movements, not to mention the threat from colds, flu's and robberies. High inflation in a poverty culture pushes even more people to violent measures.

Chieftaincy disputes continue, usually over land. Please pray for peace in the land and world.

Please pray for me (Terry) dealing with Covid when I return. My son, daughter-in-law and daughter have all had it recently in spite of being fully vaccinated and boosted. 

God wants the great commission fulfilled more than we do and He has all knowledge, power and wisdom so please pray that we have eyes to see and ears to hear to where He wants us to go next.

Help us learn what African countries DMM bushfires have already been ignited and focus on those countries that still do not have access to the gospel.

The need wisdom to identify new DMM country leaders and God's provision of the resources for motorbikes and expenses they will need to oversee and expand the movements into other African countries.

We have been talking a lot lately concerning financial sustainability. Decisions for current segment leaders that have a network of DMM coaches within walking distance of each other have agreed to let their motorbikes be used by new pioneer leaders ready to go to new unreached areas in Ghana. 

Ghanaians in the DMM network recently raised money through house church networks to buy 2 new motorbikes. 

Amy will continue her work training Africans with Fidelis with the goal that Africans will in the near future be cohort leaders for other Africans. This is a tremendous tool God has connected with to poor into those who understand English well enough to complete the assignments. It has already paid deep dividends in firmly developing a Biblical world view in the lives of those that have taken it. One of the Fidelis cohorts has recently finished with Isaac completing the work.being one of the first three graduates. Amy is leading two other cohorts and hopes to continue once we are in the US. Everything is done with Zoom and WhatsApp.

Amy and I both will continue being Zume coaches for people all over the world, primarily Africa. One good thing that came out of Covid is introducing people to tools that allow them to work remotely.

Amy and Gloria (one of interns) will remotely continue reaching out with Media2Movement campaigns. Amy is spending a least 2 hours a night chatting back and forth with people who are interested what it means to be a disciple. This tool could also be used to target areas of the US as well.

Much of my (Terry) focus will be directed at connecting Isaac to other DMM catalysts so they can collaborate how to finish the great commission in our generation.

God has already connected us with Big Life in Africa, No Place Left and recently Isaac was invited to a very small select group of leaders to attend a Finish The Task (FTT) meeting in the US in October. Amy and I will attend a 2414 conference in October in Texas. God has raised all of these organizations up to finish His great commission in our generation. Please pray it will happen. God deserves nothing less! Wouldn't it be great that after 2000+ years the church will finally obey and fulfill the great commission - Matthew 28.

If the Visa needed goes through for Isaac to travel to the US (please pray diligently about this) we are making plans to fly Isaac to New Albany for Northside Christian Church's missions emphasis weekend and possibly attend ICOM with us.

Of course we can continue meeting with Isaac to coach through the transition and the Tamale studio to continue coaching them as well.

Our prayer is that you, our faithful supporters will continue supporting us so we can ease the pain of transitioning to sustainability. I know they will still need help over the next few years as they become truly sustainable.

The number of projects have been going well. But the income from those projects have not been enough to pay for salaries, replace worn out equipment and become financially sustainable.

Please pray as they transition into being a Nomad team for Good News Productions, Intl. Pray that this partnership will not only produce many more wonderful oral tools but also improve their quality and skills that will enable them to earn more from their projects.

With the help of great coaches and financial sponsors Amy has been working on Facebook ad campaigns that would allow us to identify interested Ghanaians to plug into discipleship groups. 

It is working. For Christians we offer Zume discipleship training and for seekers willing to take the next steps of becoming a part of a spiritual family (small house church) we get them connected in a group.

Isaac was a part of the first Fidelis Project cohort and was one of three of the first graduates with a Master's of Arts in Theology & Public Policy Fidelis Program MN,PP,SF,DMM,PW.

See a short 15 minute video of Isaac's graduation and picture of him in his hat and gown at the following link.

Please pray for two other cohorts working through the process now. Also pray that Ghanaian will begin to become Fidelis Project cohort leaders.

Those taking this course love it and are really excited about what they are learning but find it difficult keeping up.
