Batch 22 trainees also known as “The Persuaders for Christ” for Basic 1 Missionary Training successfully kicked off last January 15, 2014. There are 9 Filipinos, 1 Indonesian and 2 Malaysians sealed by the Holy Spirit to reach the nations. From the start of the training, this batch has exhibited passion and united prayer and worship; doing their tasks with joy in their hearts as well. Their personal encounter with Jesus Christ compels them to respond with passion to the call for the labourers in the field.
“Faith without works is dead” thus Persuaders for Christ has applied this principle to surpass the challenges. These challenges enable them to seek God more and take actions with wisdom. For example, those who have much share their resources to those in need. They pray and work hand in hand to renew their spiritual and physical strength; admonishing one another to be strong in the Lord singing praises to God to overcome their weaknesses and homesickness. They are marked with the servant-leadership character of Christ for the nations by not only preaching the gospel boldly to the field entrusted to them but also living it through serving the people with gladness by the grace of God.
Persuaders for Christ is like the early church that is in the Upper Room being equipped for the task while waiting in prayer and fasting of the Lord’s fullness of time to conquer the nations for Christ.
