OC Blog Digest: Stories of a Disciple-Making Movement

“She has a map! That's just like in the back of your Bible, the missionary journeys of Paul”, Craig Kraft, OC’s Executive Director, excitedly shared about an OC missionary and her recent travels through Asia.

Sure enough, the map looks curiously like those maps in the back of your Bible – pinpointing the stops along Teresa’s recent missionary journey to Asia where she travelled from place to place - flying, or renting a jeep and travelling with other leaders and driving into remote communities, to equip leaders and guide a disciple-making movement using the Discovery Bible Study tool. After a glimpse into her story, we knew this was a story we needed to capture and share.

Our hope is that as you listen in to Teresa's story, that it awakens in you a conviction that you too could (and should) be involved in effective disciple-making. A conviction not driven by guilt, but rather inspired by the hope that God could use you, too, as a disciple who makes disciples (who makes disciples).

Please enjoy this 3-part blog series, taken from our recent interview with Teresa, as she shares stories of God at work!
