"I've got a good testimony..."

That's how our boy G started the conversation as he sat down in our weekly guys study.

"I've got a good testimony..." 

Ok. Sweet. I thought. Maybe he got to share with a classmate or something?

 "This morning, I was Talking to the Father and thinking. I have been a Believer for already one and a half years now... and I have never discipled anyone. One and a half years! I should have been disciplining someone by now. I mean one and half a years. No one! So I started to Ask for it." 

I dont remember the rest of the story, but it involved a classmate wanting "inner peace" as she struggled with some times in her life and has been looking into being a Believer for that. She "has so many people around her who are believers" (aka 4 people, which in G's mind is sooo many.) She wanted to go to the fellowship and asked if they would have like a celebration or something for her if she became one. "Probably not" he answered, "but if you want to, I can show you how?"

The next thing I know G and Tannah (her old teacher and my teammate) were eating dinner with her and they explained "the basic things about J came, died, came back to life again, the Father made everything, and we can follow Him to go heaven." She liked it, believed it, accepted it and is now a sister! Tan had an extra book to give her and G was smiling from ear to ear. "It's so cool that He hears me and answers like that."

Awesome things that 1) He's been a believer for a year and a half and he's bothered he hasn't discipled anyone yet. I know hundreds of people who are Believers who have never discipled anyone and they've been in for years. 2) We have a new sister! She now knows hope, love, peace, joy, faithfulness, contentment, etc. 3) That G is pursuing to share his story more. 4) His perspective is Bookical - "He hears me!" was his greatest joy. (Lk10:20)  5) Two more weeks and He's not done yet!
