Giving Thanks for You!
Greetings Friends!
As we approach Thanksgiving here in the US, we at Take The Challenge are taking this moment to say, “Thank you!” to all our TTC partners whose prayers and gifts have enabled us to fulfill our God-given mandate to raise up disciple-makers among the nations. Paul’s words to the believers in Philippi perfectly express how we feel about you: “Every time [we] think of you, [we] give thanks to [our] God. (Philippians 1:3)”
Through your partnership and our Philippines DM Movement team, we have launched 17 new disciple-makers groups in the past month! In the two weeks since we left, the PDMM team has held three additional vision-casting sessions, and at 6:00 AM on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day), I will be speaking with over 25 pastors and leaders from the Philippines island of Mindanao, sharing the vision of the DM movement and inviting them to partner with us to raise disciple-makers to reach the over 27 million people living there.
In another amazing turn, I was introduced to a missionary pastor serving in the Islamic nation of Morocco. After joining one of our weekly online DM groups, Pastor Tim has introduced other Moroccan pastors to the DM process, and many of them have expressed a great excitement about joining hands with us. This coming Monday we will host another online vision-casting, after which we will give them a chance to join a weekly group to be equipped to raise disciple-makers in their context.
These are just a couple examples of what your prayers and gifts are making possible. Please receive our heartfelt gratitude for your participation with us as we endeavor to make Jesus’ final command our first priority.
