All Converts Are Disciples

 I recently heard someone state that the reason the church ministries they had created failed was because they had only made converts and not disciples.  What they really meant was that these believers had never matured.  It is clear from God’s Word that all converts are disciples who have started, and I emphasize started, on the path to become mature reproducing disciples.  Unfortunately, new disciples can fail to move on to maturity.  This can be changed!  It is already happening around the world as pastors, leaders and emerging leaders become shepherd leaders who can take disciples through all the stages of discipleship to make disciples who make disciples.  Check it out at www.hisheartmyheart.org

Transformational Shepherd Leadership

What comes to mind when you hear, "Biblical Leadership?"  A number of years ago I was asked to create a graduate level class for a Master's of Ministry degree called "Biblical Leadership."  After carefully investigating all the different Seminary and University curriculums with a leadership class, I didn't find any with this title.  That lead me to investigate what "Biblical Leadership" involved.  What I discovered was that the primary metaphor in the Word of God for Biblical Leadership was that of a Shepherd.  There were other supportive metaphors like Servant, Slave, and others too.  However, Shepherd Leadership was in fact what we should call Biblical Leadership.  As a result, I began a ministry in 2017 to pastors, leaders, and emerging leaders called Transformational Shepherd Leadership.  The goal is to equip these leaders to be Shepherd Leaders who can take disciples through all the stages of discipleship to make disciples who make disciples.  Interested?  Take a look at www.hisheartmyheart.org

Our Team Arrived Safely Back To Chicago

God protected us during the whole project.  Students are getting rides home and flights home from Chicago.  Pray we recover from jet lag.  

On The Way Home

I am sitting at the gate for our flight home from Uganda.  We have had a great experience and a very effective ministry to others.   Over all we presented the gospel to 8,258 students and saw 927 make first time decisions for Christ.   We also saw many believers re dedicate their lives to Christ.  We did 18 assemblies in 16 schools.   We visited and helped two orphanages.   Keep us in your prayers as we travel home over the next 30 hours.

Second Week in Uganda

Today our team visits our second orphanage.  Then tonight we have our Celebration dinner with everyone (about 35).   We did assemblies at eight more schools this week and now we have shared the gospel with 7325 students and have 773 first time decisions for Christ.  And we aren't done

Our First Week in Uganda

This last week our team of 17 shared Christ with over 3000 students in 7 high schools and saw over 220 make first time decisions for Christ!  We spoke in our eighth school this morning where 394 heard the gospel and 47 received Christ.  Pray for the additional seven schools we speak at the rest of this second week including one that has 4000 students!  Our team is all doing well but are tired today since we had to leave at 6 am this morning to get to our 7 am assembly.
