Training Lay Leaders to help carry out the Great Commission

Our Baptist Convention Evangelist knows the necessity of empowering lay-people in order for the gospel to spread more rapidly. He has been training a young man and that young man has been training other lay-leaders in Mberengwa. Five churches in the Mberengwa area recently came together for a fellowship weekend. Over 300 people participated as they met outside under trees for teaching and worship. That weekend 115 new believers were baptized by their church’s lay-leaders.

It is exciting to see how the believers in this area are sharing the gospel and continually introducing more people to Jesus. Pray that God will raise up more lay-leaders to help shepherd the new Christians. Pray also for those who are willing to train the new leaders and release them to work in God’s Kingdom. "And what you have heard from me (Paul) in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2 Timothy 2:2
