At the same time as this door to the gospel was opening, God had placed a barrier-crushing machine in their midst.
Phililppines
How does this process of discipleship work? Not quickly. It requires years of patient modeling and mentoring.
As a church grows and matures to become a thriving church, the development of leadership becomes an integral part of that growth. This issue looks at how faithful men and women are tapped for leadership in a people group in the Philippines. Read how the disciples become the disciplers, and how they push at the edge of their church, reaching out to neighboring people groups.
One of the goals of seeing a thriving church for every people group is the development of leadership among the believers.
Other villages started asking, “What about us? We want someone to come and teach us.”
Thirty-two villages among the Tagbanwa people group in the Philippines have churches. Of the 16,000 in this people group, about 2,500 are believers who are growing and sharing their faith. There are new church plants going on right now, but without the Scriptures in their language, there was nothing available to facilitate their growth and discipleship. Because you gave to this project, the reprinting of the Tagbanwa Bible is now in process.
