God's "reliable people" are encouraged (2 Tim 2:2)

We’re thrilled to continue supporting, organizing, and sending out our national discipleship teams to the hundreds of Iris Global Partners in Harvest churches throughout the provinces of Mozambique. Two weeks ago Pastor Mateus gathered and taught all the district and local pastors in 3 different regions, covering all of the Zambezia Province. Over 1,000 booklets were distributed, as each pastor was given a set of our latest discipleship book, Verdade (Truth), to use with their churches. Pictured here is Pastor Mateus in the district of Mocuba with pastors from the 12 northern districts. Just a few days ago one of the district pastors, Caesar from Gurue, called us and excitedly told us how he already gathered his 10 local pastors, gave and taught them their books, and instructed them to now teach them to their churches. We’re so thrilled to see such enthusiasm and fruit so quickly! Due to Covid restrictions and other issues, the pastors haven’t been able to gather for any discipleship seminars for a long time. Though we are no longer physically in Mozambique with them, we communicate daily with our pastors from our home in Asia, using the internet with phone calls, pictures, videos, etc. So many are expressing their sincere gratitude! Our hearts are full of joy and we wanted to share this joy with you!

2 Tim. 2:2 “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
