Trip to Albuquerque, NM

I spend an amazing week in Albuquerque, NM. The senior pastor of the largest church in the city have been taking me to lunch almost every day asking question about discipleship multiplication. He organized the board of other 6 pastors to come to learn about mindset shift I was teaching about. He got really interested in DMM. Even though I do not think that is realistic for a whole mega church to take the path of DMM, I do believe though that certain people in the church, if they will be coached, might experience real multiplication I conducted 7 trainings and the 8th one was on reaching out the mus-m. After that training I took people to their temple. For the first time I met a very strong opposition in their temple. Anyway we were able to establish three follow up meeting with mus-m from the mosque. One of those mus-m, whom we shared the Gospel, already responded to the Email, saying that he would like to read the bible in his language. We helped him to download bible app. in his language.  Three pastors from that church will follow up with those contacts.  Conducting one of the training in the church, I was very touched by a young man we came to me in tears and handled $600 that he saved for some personal needs, telling that God told him to give them to me. Other 20-30 people witnessed that they heard from the first time in their life how practically we can actually go a make disciples. One of the brothers came to me and said that he wished to have heard this right in the very begging of his walk with Christ. I began receiving Emails from those who attended the training, with testimonies how they went actually to apply the teaching. I promised that anyone who would go and will need help, I will be willing to sacrifice all my time to coach them in the ministry of multiplication Please continue to play for the Hoffman town church in Albuquerque.
