God’s Blooms in North America

Brian Thompson

Source of Light Ministries International stands firmly beside the local church to help its outreach to be productive. The quote from John 15:16, your fruit should remain, means that those who are reached should continue growing for the Lord. Our tools are designed for that purpose and God is blessing His Word as it goes out.

Grace Baptist Church is the home of Scotte Staab, Regional Director of Europe and Asia. The church is familiar with the ministry of Source of Light through him, but this year they decided to take an extra step in their involvement. They will be using the Bible lessons to disciple inmates at two nearby institutions. The Madison Discipleship School has students at these facilities that will continue in the lessons with Grace. The church has about a dozen volunteers that have been taking lessons and have had training in discipleship.

This year we had the pleasure of training a former student to run an Associate Discipleship School. Bryan Miller was saved through the lessons as he took them. His church, Hope Community Church in Detroit, chose him to organize and run their outreach in jails and prisons. They also are using the lessons to follow up with church attenders and members who need discipleship. Their new school has already seen people come to know Jesus as their Savior. When they opened it up for Spanish-speaking students to take lessons, fifteen signed up to start. There are still so many who need to hear the Gospel and be discipled here in America.

These ventures are just a part of the continuing effort to expand the effective discipleship of local churches in the United States. Pray with us for these new works to grow. Consider if your church needs a program like this to reach more people with the transforming message of Jesus Christ. Let us know if we can help.
