IMFC is now sending Bible Way Discipleship Books to India
While living in Namuwongo, Geoffrey met a man named Jotham sharing the message from John 3:1-21. Geoffrey received the message in his heart, prayed for Jesus to change him, and the Lord did. He read the Bible Way books, was part of a house church and worked with Jotham learning how to make disciples that make other disciples. Geoffrey learned how to share the story of Jesus and Nicodemus from John 3:1-21. He learned how to share the gospel using the five fingers on his hand. He learned how to lead a house church and an inductive Bible Study using the S.O.T. method:
S - What does this Bible passage Say?
O - What is there to Obey in this passage?
T - What truth is there to Tell someone else from this passage?
What Geoffrey learned in Namuwongo from Jotham, he carried to India when he went for post schooling.
Sometime after moving to New Delhi, Geoffrey begin to call Jotham to tell him about the many people he had shared with, how many had come to faith in Christ and to ask for Bible Way books to help the people grow. Jotham told us about Geoffrey, what he was doing in India and his requests for books, but we didn't really know what was happening, and it is a long way to India. Besides, reports come in from many places and the request for Bible Way books are very, very many. So we prayed for Geoffrey and the new believers in India, entrusting them to their Lord and continued doing what we have the means to do.
A few weeks back, a man came to Kampala from India on a business trip that Geoffrey had met in India and led to Christ. His name is Ganesh. Geoffrey had given Ganesh Jotham's contact. Ganesh contacted Jotham and asked for Bible Way books. When Jotham met Ganesh, he discovered that Geoffrey had taught Ganesh how to share the gospel reading John 3:1-21 using the S.O.T. method, how to share the gospel message using the five fingers and how to lead an S.O.T. Bible Study. After meeting Ganesh and hearing his story, the leaders in Kampala gave Ganesh 100 “Who Is Jesus” books to carry back to the new believers in New Delhi. Today, Bible Way books are in India as well as Uganda, Kenya, DR Congo, Tanzania and South Sudan being used by the Lord to grow His new followers! You gotta love the Lord. This was His plan not ours.
This story of Jotham, Geoffrey and Ganesh is an amazing story of how the Lord Jesus can use the simple gospel message spoken by simple people to cross oceans and significantly change others. Here is a great lesson: When we are faithful do our job where we are using methods that are reproducible, the Lord will do great things. That's true here in the USA as well as in Africa and for you and me as well as for the Africans. Let’s be faithful.
Have a great day. Thanks for your partnership. God bless.
