It has always been my ambition to preach the Gospel where Christ was not known, so that I will not be building on someone else’s foundation.
Romans
15:20
It
has been over a month now since we all have arrived from our provinces to be
trained through Nehemiah Teams Advance Operations Training in Samal Island ,
Davao del Norte for a little more than 2 months , and then a deployment for the
summer wherever we all my strategically be. Well, so far , it has been…
AWESOME! God is so awesome! It is so amazing how He has brought all of us
together to be in this training. It’s amazing that we all came from almost all
over the Philippines and we have as young as 16 on training. It’s amazing how
He has put all this things together. How He, for years has spoken to Kuya Jess
and his family and revealed so real truths and solid foundation of Christian
Faith and The Maker’s Master plan to for repentance and forgiveness through
faith alone in Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection--- the only plan
of salvation, and this Gospel is to be spread through the Church to all
nations. That is the Master plan. That is the only plan and there is no other! Luke
24: 44-48, Ephesians 3. 1-11
So, what is AOT?
Nehemiah
Teams Advance Operations Training (AOT) is designed to disciple, develop and
deploy this generation to Finish the Great Commission in this generation,
specifically preparing young people to accept specific roles and assignments
needed for Nehemiah Teams AOT.
AOT is originally designed for former
Nehemiah Teams participants who are able and available to join the training at
about this time of the year. But this season, NT AOT has been opened to young
people from strategic areas or organizations with desire for missions and in
some way has had some exposure to NT and what the Lord has called the team to
do. This was done to have a stronger foundation in these areas or organizations
as NT moves forward in reaching the unreached and opportunity and training more
available to more young people.
The 2month AOT focuses on strengthening
the walk of the participant using foundational truths of the Bible on Salvation,
Soul Winning, Learning from the Past, Trials Grown and Humility, Confession,
God’s Word, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Warfare, Second Coming and Judgment from which NT memory verses during the summer
are patterned, helping them how to hear
from God and know His will and also training on the knots and bolts of Nehemiah Teams. AOT’s goal is also to deploy
these participants to take leadership and trainer roles this summer, and long after
summer, as the need arises.
Right now there are 11 of us all in
AOT 2013. We have written articles about specific topics discussed and activities
in training during the past weeks and what God taught us through those topics
and or activities.
We again thank you for your
partnership and prayers with us and Nehemiah Teams. Let’s keep advancing!
