GO Spotlight

train leaders
One of our 5 Go Pursuits is Train Leaders. By training leaders we advance the gospel to people groups and regions that would otherwise be out of reach. Sometimes we equip teachers, pastors, and missionaries and train them to train and send their church members to advance the gospel themselves in their contexts.
In the month of March we sent two of our pastors to do such work. Pastor Daniel trained pastors at a Baptist college in Nairobi, Kenya and spent time encouraging local church leaders while also visiting a girls orphanage and school. Pastor Paul taught courses at Ethiopia Theological Seminary, spoke at a pastors’ training event, and preached at a church in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Give2Go was proud to help support this important work in Africa.

Family Discipleship

Elementary BIG TRUTH: GOD OFFERS FRIENDSHIP WHEN WE ARE ENEMIEs
BIBLE VERSE: ROMANS 5:8,10
“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life.”
BIG IDEAS
- Our sin makes us enemies of God.
- God gave His Son for us while we were still His enemies.
- Through Jesus we become friends of God.
- Friendship with God means our relationship with Him is restored.
HOOK
As a family, use craft sticks to create figures of Joseph and his brothers. Use small pieces of cloth or construction paper as clothing. Role-play the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers using the stick figures you’ve created. Remind your child that God forgives us and offers us friendship through Jesus.
