Around the world, Advance is empowering people to share Jesus boldly and clearly – and we’re seeing God do amazing things.
Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, one Advance group is determined that everyone would get to hear the gospel so they’re heading into prisons to share about Jesus. Inside one prison, the response to the gospel and to the Holy Spirit has been so great that the prison staff recently let the Advance group stay almost four hours to get to know the prisoners, pray with them and share more from the Bible with them.
Benin
One Advance group member recently shared that session four of the Advance group training – on the task of the evangelist – has had a transformational impact on the way she preaches the good news of Jesus. She said, ‘I know share the Bible using simple words with clarity and without distorting from what the scriptures say, and I’ve since seen many have start to give their lives to Jesus.’
Zambia
The church is growing thanks to Advance! This month, as people are putting what they’re learning about on Advance into practice, one church has seen 40 people accept Jesus into their lives and had 77 new people start coming to church!
Venezuela
Italia says, ‘This Advance groups programme has been very satisfying for me. I have had the opportunity to encourage people in my group with stories of when I’ve shared the gospel and the Advance programme is helping us unite more as a family in Christ.’
India
A young man in one Advance group recently accepted Jesus and has since been healed from his drug addiction! He’d lost everything in the past and had hit rock bottom but now he comes to church regularly, loves the meetings, has a new family and support network and enjoys learning more about God.
Thank God for these stories and more that are pouring in from around the world. Want to be part of the fun? Start an Advance group today at advancegroups.org
