In Chile, God is strengthening the ministry in beautiful and practical ways. EGM-Chile is investing in their own team development by equipping new board members, coordinators, facilitators, and special needs leaders. These growing teams will help support regional coordinators and provide clearer direction for the ministry’s continued growth.
At the same time, EGM-Chile is developing a new year-long training pathway for churches. Through seven focused lessons and training sessions, churches will be invited to grow more intentionally in children’s discipleship. A team of designers and editors is preparing the materials, while fundraising efforts are helping build support and excitement for the initiative.
The ministry is also preparing to expand into new areas, including Antofagasta in Northern Chile, with the hope of reaching even more regions in the future.
Perhaps one of the clearest pictures of what God is doing comes from Daniela, a children’s leader at her church in Quilicura.
Recently, as Daniela and the other leaders were finishing a lesson, a simple moment together became something much deeper. The children began sharing openly about struggles they were facing, including experiences of bullying. Because they felt safe and cared for, they were able to speak honestly, not only with their leaders, but also with one another.
What happened next was beautiful.
Instead of responding with anger or fear, several children expressed a desire to forgive and love others as Jesus had loved them.
Daniela and the other leaders are beginning to see the fruit of intentional discipleship, both in the children and in their own lives. These moments are quiet, but they are powerful. They remind us that when children are given a safe and loving space, God can work deeply in their hearts.
Please continue to pray for EGM-Chile as the ministry grows. Pray for Ismael, the National Director, and for the board as they seek additional committed leaders. Pray for new DiscipleMakers trainers, the ministry leaders involved, upcoming DiscipleMakers trainings, church partnerships, and local financial support. Above all, praise God for His faithfulness, provision, and the many opportunities He continues to provide for this ministry.
