Take The Challenge

05/20/2026

Pastor Arnel and our team are working on follow-up from last weekend’s meetings where 180 of the 386 attendees registered to join disciple-makers groups. WOW! Our folks will fly out to Cebu on Wednesday for a vision-casting, marriage seminar, and church service. Our first-ever South American group met yesterday(!), and plans are underway for two vision-castings in Morocco next week.

In the Philippines this weekend: We had 386 who attend the vision-casting seminar, and more than 100 signed up to join Disciples-Maker groups!

The Philippines is an archipelago (string) of more than 7,000 islands, the largest of which Luzon, the island at the top of the map with our team’s blue travel route snaking through it. From our command center in Villasis, our team is effectively expanding TTC’s outreach into many other parts of Luzon, but their goal is to bring the disciple-making process to ALL of their nation.

God is moving powerfully here in the Philippines!

There are now 109 couples (that’s 218 people!) registered for Friday’s Better Together seminar and 345 people registered for Saturday’s DM vision-casting!!! Our team is slightly – maybe significantly? – overwhelmed, but they fully expect God’s Spirit to minister to all the attendees AND and help them and the local DM coaches handle the administrative tasks well. They asked us to PRAY!

“What God is doing is an absolute EXPLOSION!”

Everything is going well for our traveling team in the Philippines: Pastors Wilson and Angelica, Pastor Daniel, and Scott. They have now completed 5 of their planned 11 vision-castings, from which TEN new DM groups have been formed, and at least one of those groups has already begun its weekly meetings!

• Abuja, NIGERIA – Scott ministered at Pastor Godfrey’s church eight years ago. Pastor Godfrey contacted Scott this week about discipleship, and by the time you read this, Hillary (DM national director in Kenya) will have just completed a Sunday night online vision-casting for 12-15 of Godfrey’s pastors..
• Maradi, NIGER – A new Hausa-speaking DM group will launch on Monday (tomorrow), coached by Pastor Terah who is in Scott’s Morocco pastors group.
• Niamey, NIGER – Five of the eight pastors who attended a DM vision-casting breakfast on Saturday (yesterday) have asked to join a new DM group there.
• NEPAL – Scott just heard from Pastor Samuel that the “Raising Disciple-Makers” book has been successfully translated into the Nepali language, and they are now looking for a publisher to get the book printed prior to Scott’s trip there in November.
• Embu, KENYA – Pastor James held a vision-casting in Embu with 78 pastors this week, 45 of whom registered to join a group and begin the DM process. Rev. Jane will do the follow-up and launch the group(s).

Tuesday’s Bottom Line:
Our team’s first day of meetings in Lasam resulted in three new disciple-makers (DM) groups being formed! They have now traveled – with effort! – on to Kalinga, where they will lead another day of vision-casting on Wednesday (Tuesday night MO time).
