Training Pakistani Leaders

Together with Sultan and members of the Apostolic Band team at Search Party, we recently had the opportunity to go to Azerbaijan, inviting our Pakistani church leaders to come and learn about the Four Fields discipleship and church planting process, the process that we have learned to see the Kingdom of God continue to grow. We were able to spend more than a week there together in training and fellowship, teaching them and diving deep into practical depth into the parable Jesus told in Mark 4:26-29. They have now taken what they have learned back and are teaching their network of churches, as well. They are reporting several new churches that have started since that time as a result, so we are excited to see the Kingdom continue to grow in one of the most difficult areas for the Gospel in the world. If you would like to stay updated on what is happening in Pakistan, be sure to check out our Pakistan page on the Search Party website. We are also hoping to hold another similar meeting in the Fall, so if you would be interested to help support this work, you can donate to it from the Donate button on that page.

New Churches in Albania

We also had the opportunity to go to Albania to work alongside of our Costa Rican workers, Alex and Alejandra, who also brought their Costa Rican leadership team with them. It was a great opportunity to go with some of our Italian partners to work alongside of three new church plants there in Albania. The local Albanian church planters, helped along through their partnership with Alex and his team, have now planted these churches over the last two years. Exciting times and we are looking forward to seeing how God will continue to knit us together for the future, together with workers from Italy, Albania, Romania, Costa Rica, and America, all working together for the purpose of making more disciples and planting many new churches!
