“A disciplemaker is a person who lives continually by the Word of Jesus. A disciplemaker is a person who commits his life completely to the Master. A disciplemaker is one who lives in a fruit-bearing relationship with Jesus. A disciplemaker is one who is committed to others in sacrificial fellowship.”
This is one of the powerful insights we received from one of the delegates of the Jesus Strategy Overview Seminar held in Myanmar in 2019. Some shared how they were taken back to the basics of evangelism and discipleship. Others saw Jesus in a new light and fell in love with Him all the more. The renewed passion for making disciples was overwhelmingly striking that we were blessed to witness firsthand how God transformed and united perspectives, regardless of differences in culture and practices.

Please pray for these leaders in Myanmar. They are being assaulted on two fronts: the political instability of their nation and its effects on their everyday life, and the spread of Covid-19 in their land. Their efforts have been stopped due to these challenges. We trust that they would continue what they have started soon enough through God’s courage, empowerment and intervention.
The zeal we saw from the delegates of Myanmar translated into obedience as they launched their own Disciplemaking Coaching Centers (DCCs) two years after the seminar. These two groups based in Yangon, the largest city in the country, and in Kale, a town in the Sagaing region, were composed of denomination leaders, pastors, seminary professors, church leaders, and youth pastors and leaders.
With Myanmar DCCs on the move towards kingdom multiplication, we are excited more than ever to see our vision becoming a reality: disciplemaking movement leaders in every nation in Asia accomplishing the Great Commission.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH
On the 4th of March, the TNET Generation 2 Center in Quezon City started their Course 8, Managing Disciplemaking Ministries. They are slated to finish the rest of the 10 courses this year so that they can start working on the rest of their requirements for graduation.
On March 16 and 17, Focus on the Family Malaysia gathered a bunch of trainers and facilitators from Asia virtually to equip them with a track called The Way We Work. The seminar aimed to help participants to understand how their natural learning strengths could make a world of difference when it came to their perception of and interaction with others.
