I'm discipling a Canadian student in China and a Chinese student in Canada in the same day.
One student has gone to China on exchange and the other is taking courses at UVic. Both are being challenged to partake in their local community, to live for Jesus, and to be on mission for the glory of God and the joy of all peoples.
Matt 28:19 Jesus said "Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
I'm taking a course on Mission this summer which is helping me to do this and teach others likewise.
Here's a little quote from a book report I greatly benefitted from: "Missions is not a recruitment project for God's labor force. It is a liberation project from the heavy burdens and hard yokes of other gods (Matt11:28-30)." - Let the Nations be Glad by John Piper
