The Conference - Day 2

Today started with Steve teaching on the Great Commission - pastors were very excited to learn about Jesus final instructions before leaving earth - a command to disciple-making! Truett taught on preaching and had the pastoer working within small groups. Curt taught on 'What's New for a Christian' from John 15:1-15. Curt did a great job communicating! Marlon taught 'His Last Words, His Last Will' from Acts 1:8 - many of the pastors are really listening to what is being taught. At one point the entire group was chanting 'Marlon Brown!' Curt taught a second time on 'Let's Go Fishing' from Matthew 4:18-22. Our team has been doing a great job of putting Jesus plan and command to disciple-making before the pastors - please pray that many will catch Jesus vision and plan and carry it into action.

After lunch we talked with many of the pastors - one pastor ministers to temple prostitutes. As we learned about the culture of temple prostitution we were very disturbed. Please pray that God will raise up servants to reach these women - only Jesus can heal them! Also, we talked with a pastor who was a former Hindu who had been rejected by all family and friends when he came to Christ. India has a cruel caste system that does not place proper value on all people. We are ministering to the Dalits - the untouchables - they are so low that they are beneath the caste system. Please pray that in Jesus Indians will realize there is neither Jew nor Greek. Pray that God will raise up multiplying disciples who will radically impact the culture of India for Jesus Christ.

Also, please pray for Curt as Marlon continues to eat spicy foods and dairy products (he is lactose intolerant) - this brings those special rooming issues!
