this is a school in the country of Teo Lee also known as East Teo this chaos is a kids games St this is Joseph an Indonesian man who loves Jesus with a heart for the people of team oreste this kids games day is a direct result of his ministry
here you know that feeling falling in love with someone since 8 I am falling in love with this country my name is Alex I've come to team aleste to find out Joseph's
story I wanted to know how an Indonesian man found himself in teestee in 2008 it's because God put in my heart so God show me a number Joseph shared that God showed him a vision of a number that keeps multiplying one 10 100
thousand that was God sending him one man to multiply disciples I felt like God hold my finger and then start to write and then the first thing is adopt country W which is eore or we call Itor L day now and I'm crying I cannot continue until I ask why
God only say why not Joseph now had a mission okay I will serve I will come oh at least 3 years Joseph lives in jakata for the next 10 years he would frequently travel to te meste for a few weeks at a time running Outreach programs and kids games but his main goal was to find
someone he could disciple who would then disciple others when I came here uh I just tried to find a man of Peace there is a qualified of a man of peace first they will open to you they will smile at you they will open their house for you they will let you in and and then they have um curiosity about
truth however after years and years still nobody could be found but already 10 years nothing happened discouraged Joseph returned home for what he thought would be the last time it's hard to describe but that voice always come whispering need to go
back said no you need to go back yeah Lord no go back Joseph when he call my name I know okay I need to St in there then just come I decided my my heart my mind said okay this is the last time I will no more and then uh when I come
nothing happen I feel like H disappoint see God what happened but for Joseph the cost was too high I scared I afraid I feel disappointed to God and myself I sacrific too much because of um uh this ministry in Timor Le St we have
a quite hard argument with my wife and family and then same voice I really know his voice don't give up go back M for many times I said go back and then no you need to go back Jo okay yes I go back and always happening the one thing
that I ask to God is um if you want me to go back I need you to help me to find someone so there's a proof of your vision on me I obey I learn and something happened M it's starting he found his man of
Peace Lucas is a local man who loves Jesus in 2017 he lost his job so after I lose job my of course I'm come to the point that very stressful I feel like now I'm a useless husband and my wife is pregnant I'm going to be a father but no I have no
money Lucas began to ask God what's next so I went take my time pray and fasting and then I know deeply in my heart that God is calling me for his work going back again to be a personing wow he became a pastor of a local church
but it wasn't easy okay I met Joseph in 2016 to be honest he's very good man of God after Joseph went back to Indonesia again Lucas found himself challenged by Joseph and others like him God start showing me about Joseph they are people that love this country so much sometimes there is no result but they keep coming and loving this country
and pray for this country so suddenly the question has come to me you see those people love your country but that's not their country m they come there it seems like no result but they keep coming how come this is your country this is your people but you come to the point that you give up with your own country so that statement like it's hits me a lot I was cry and then come to
the Lord seek him again and say okay Lord re tired already doing Ministry with no result so we ask Lord that please send a people that willing to work with us that we can be a labors together for your kingdom later that year Lucas reached out to Joseph who was still in
Indonesia Lucas is a different thing there's a you know uh hunger of um the the the big picture of the disciple making he called me back and then I need you to train me more okay let's start one training through Zoom so Joseph took luk under his wing and began to train him online one training turned into 10 he brought like 10 more people and then
next time he bring like a 15 and then not only that Lucas start to apply Lucas was multiplying as he learned uh every week like hey this is a new guy yeah we just bring him come in oh and then the next week hey this is a new oh guy again and then yeah it's always coming like that he got the
essence of discipl making and then he wow I need to make disciple and I want to make sure how my disciple will disciples others yeah yeah with his work in team orese bearing fruit Joseph returned in 2019 to run this training in person 2019 Pastor Andy and him came we just focus on doing 3 days discipleship
making movement and it was one of the things just and through Co can't just open the door the church has been planted go the building and then more people come to the CR and re baptized during Co near the God was moving in
Mester three words to describe Lucas one passionate when he preached in the morning service I was amazed and say he prayed for me I feel like so different the way they he approached me so different so friendly I feel like I have warm welcome to Integrity even some of people
like hate him tell bad word to him but he keep loving them it's it's just amazing and three um humble he's the pastor that sacrific a lot to to make sure that his
disciples grow spiritually good and have a have a wonderful experience with Christ through his dedication God saved me yeah that's the things that I I never forget in my life so treating the criteria that I found uh from him that now uh goes down to their
disciples Lucas learned what Joseph did and then made it his own and it flourished so those that my first generation I always have a twice in a month meeting in the biggest group it starts with those that Lucas is discipling they gathered together in what they call a cell group and then every one of them also
have two times in the manth for accountability with me these disciples learn together alongside Lucas as he goes about his plan of making disciples of Jesus most of the time I will teach them lead them by example they have to really show them example they need to show how you sacrifice put out your pocket and pay for something I didn't I didn't tell them to do but I have to show
first as they grow in maturity they begin to lead their own cell groups with Lucas as their encourager and Mentor so you lead your own cell group right yeah so I yeah I live my own cell group most of our cell group we are operating by implementing the DBS cing Bible study where our part is not to share the word of God but we just facilitate as a leader of the cell group share the word of God to your members to
your friends and then when they grow in maturity they start there's multiplication in yourself C let your members start to have the burden and start to have their own cell group and now there's a multiplication there's three multiplication already in our cell group itself yeah wow and so the cycle continues how many levels of disciples
are there okay now we are go ENT to the three generation three generation yes it's it's not easy actually I have to work hard with my disciple I need to make sure that things that I deliver to them they come with the right understanding the same thing that they can
deliver see Lucas's role was to inspire and model discovering Jesus Through the Bible as those he discipled followed this example and grew their influence extended creating connections that reached beyond the church
a sport is um universal language of course but I think that's uh good to bring a curiosity of people to come dud this is so fun and half these people like didn't come here for uh for frisbee we met him on the beach brought him on this is what sport movement is let go have to go hi guys we're playing
