Today at a church meeting at our Sicilian friends Franco and Ivana’s house, the meeting was led by a couple from another part of Sicily, a couple that had come from Siracusa. Our friends had taught their friends to lead the church meeting using the 3/3rds Group process that we teach for making disciples and leading churches and had given them the responsibility to lead the group this morning. They did a wonderful job and it was a great morning, a great opportunity to see disciples making disciples, equipping and encouraging, helping the disciples to go on to make other disciples.

We are experiencing new first-time events amongst the Sicilians as our friends are organizing their own training events, casting vision, and continuing to teach, pastor, and train their own disciples such that those additional disciples can then go on to, themselves, be disciple-makers. We are proud of the work that they are doing and we are excited to see the wonderful steps forward that they are taking. Please pray for Franco and Ivana that their work would continue to produce more fruit for the kingdom of God!
