DMM: Reproduce Disciple makers

Reproduce Disciple Makers

Kersen* grew up as a Muslim but became a follower of Jesus. After being equipped in Disciple Making Movements, he was learning another on-ramp approach to finding Persons of Peace. He was equipped in how to use verses from the Qu’ran to talk about Jesus. He prayed and asked the Lord to lead him and his friend to those in his community whom the Holy Spirit is drawing to himself. He found his high school friend, Ajij*, to share what he had just learned.

 

Then they transitioned to studying about Jesus and the prophets, using the *8 Discovery Bible Study questions, while expecting they each reproduce and start other groups. As they were studying, God began to open Ajij's heart, and he was drawn to Jesus. Ajij started sharing what he was learning with his wife.

 

“You can't study those stories,” she said. “Those are stories from the Injil (The New Testament), and that book has been corrupted.”

 

Ajij mentioned this to Kersen. Using verses from the Qu’ran, Kersen showed that the Injil had not been corrupted. Because he continued studying about Jesus, Ajij’s wife thought seriously about divorcing her husband. But she began to realize that Ajij was becoming a kind man.

 

He took care of her and led her. “Why would I divorce a man like this?” she thought. So she began to be open to the stories about Jesus. 

 

Before long, Ajij and his wife came to faith and were baptized.

 

They shared the Good News with their parents. To date, three of their parents have come to faith in Jesus Christ. They have a house church that meets together.
