When R first signed up for a Zúme on Zoom online course, I asked him what he hoped to gain from the course. He said he heard it was a powerful disciple-making tool and after he took it, he wanted to teach it to his whole nation (in East Africa). Since taking it, he has led at least 2 dozen people to the Lord, trained 30 people in Zume and started 2 Simple Churches. Then he gathered 50 other pastors in his county and encouraged each of them to go through discipleship training, take the Zume course and teach it to everyone in their churches. Most recently he has gotten approval from 20 local secondary schools to have pastors come in and share the gospel to the entire school weekly. He has gathered 4 other pastors who work together to cover teaching all these students. They hope to make many teenage disciples.
T is one of the most humble, gentle people I know but he has a passionate burning in his heart for spreading the gospel. He has gathered a group of leaders who have been doing street preaching and training in Zúme and other disciple making training. He recently started a WhatsApp group of 25 leaders who receive daily encouragement in disciple-making. One of the other leaders in this group gives a content-rich Bible lesson and customized prayer for each day and challenges everyone in the group to lead someone to the Lord EVERY DAY! Three of these leaders are taking my current Zúme on Zoom training course and thriving.
