We recently received a very encouraging email testimony from a mother of three in Eastern Pennsylvania that we wanted to share with you!

She wrote, “I am very appreciative of the time that you took specifically to meet with me and share the vision and method of DBS.  Our family has decided to implement this method in place of reading devotions from a book (which a couple of the kids thought was soooooo boooring).  We started this week, in Joshua 1, and it’s been a positive experience so far!  My 11-year-old, who is very intellectual and sometimes feels that this whole Jesus thing is hard to believe, deduced on his own during the discussion that “God keeps His promises.”  That was a balm to this mother’s soul!  My 9-year-old said, “I can be a leader,” which then led to, “I can be a good leader if I am with God.”

“I also have a couple of families in mind that I want to invite to join us in DBS with their kids.  Many kids are not involved in student ministry anymore because of covid restrictions, and parents are looking for help leading their kids to walk with Jesus.  I am excited about using this format with the kids.  I know that the Holy Spirit can speak to them directly, and I believe that this method will better inspire them to take ownership over their own bible study.”

Please pray this week during your 10:02 prayer times (or whenever you pray!) for Christian families across the United States:

That parents & guardians would step into their God-given roles as the spiritual leaders of their homes.

That families would find a method (whether it be DBS or something else) that helps them become more obedient disciples of Jesus.

That the prophecy of Malachi 4:6 would be fulfilled in families in our time: “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.”

That every household may be a greenhouse for Christian discipleship!

We are rejoicing today, and asking for continued prayer for young disciples in the nation of India!  One such disciple is an 11-year-old girl who has already become an evangelist within her family.  Cheryl and her parents are part of a group of about 20 Christians who are learning to become obedient disciples of Jesus through weekly Discovery Bible Study.
 

We received a wonderful testimony last month from Cheryl’s mother who said that Cheryl recently shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all the children in her family!  Cheryl’s mother wrote: 

“Today, I sneaked into the back of our kids’ prayer meeting and stumbled into one of the greatest Gospel presentations I have heard in recent times!  Yesterday in kids’ prayer time, Cheryl shared the full Gospel of Jesus to all the kids – it was excellent!  She spoke with such clarity – I was amazed listening to it!  Cheryl is truly gifted – she reminds me of Timothy from the Bible.  She is not only growing under your guidance but also practicing what she is learning.  I couldn’t control my tears today.  Lockdown is truly being fruitful.  Praise God for this generation of our children who are not only growing in spirit but also bonding in love.” 
 

We are so happy for Cheryl and for all the other young disciples emerging in India!  Please join us in praying for them: 

• May God bless these young disciples and use them mightily in the days to come! 
• May they stand up as role models for Christian discipleship in their nation and generation. 

May they continue to be encouraged and empowered by their parents, who themselves are growing to become obedient disciples of Jesus.
