Before Thomas taught on repentance, he asked the students to pray for him. Caleb stepped forward.
One of the greatest joys of discipleship is watching people move from receiving to beginning to help others follow Jesus.
Recently, each of our ROOTED students prepared and shared a short teaching on repentance. Thomas had only joined us a few weeks earlier, but before he began, he asked the other students to pray for him. Caleb stepped forward, and the group gathered around him in prayer.
It was a simple moment, but it captured something we deeply desire for our students—not just growing in confidence or knowledge, but learning to depend upon the Lord as He equips them to minister to others.
We are seeing that multiplication happen in other ways too. Some of our returning students are now helping newer students learn how to engage with God through Scripture, while the whole group continues growing in sharing the gospel and serving practically wherever there is a need.
This is what we hope ROOTED will produce: disciples who know Jesus deeply, obey Him faithfully, and increasingly give away to others what He has given to them.
