FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONALWe are involved in coaching Congolese leaders in Discipleship Making Movements With the pandemic that hit globally in March just as Richard was returning from Congo, all further trips there have been put on hold indefinitely. But several leaders we have been working with for a number of years reached out to us asking for some specific training on Disciple Making Movements to enhance the ministries that they are already involved in. So weekly since then, 3 individuals in Kinshasa and 1 in Western Africa meet via Zoom for coaching. Matthieu is a church planter presently located in Kinshasa who has been using these principles for several years now and his experience is a benefit to the others who are just at the beginning stages. Jacques and Rose have been working with Pygmies for a number of years but want to see an indigenous movement among them. Their son, Jerry, located in a new location in western Africa, is a missionary among 3 Muslim unreached people groups. He is learning about DMM for the first time and is already sharing the principles with others working in the region. All of these individuals are key influencers and coaching them is capital to seeing movements started in their various contexts. We have always had a heart for French Africa and it seems that an effective way of seeing these regions discipled to and in Christ is through empowering these African leaders who in turn will empower others.
