Link International Ministries is committed to fulfilling the Great Commission in Mexico, working together with the national church "La Gran Comisión" in:
Small Groups, New Believers Discipleship Class and Individual Discipleship.
We have been involved with discipleship here in Mexico since a team from Discipler Training International, from Reno, Nevada came and trained us in September 2006! Discipleship; modeling what it is to be a Christian through Spiritual Parenting, eventually leads to spiritual maturity and multiplication. The new believer grows in strength in his/her spiritual walk, and then becomes the discipler, modeling and parenting another new believer!
Equipping Leaders for Personal Discipleship - "Training the Trainer."
Teaching pastors and leaders "How to Disciple Others."
Pablo teaches students at the Agua Viva "Ministry Training Institute" each fall and it is so vital to the life of the Christian as well as to the life of the Church. These students then go out to all different states within the republic to teach others!
In May 2007 doors were opened beyond Mexico! Pablo and Martha have made multiple trips to Cuba to speak at a pastor's conference, to be the key-note speaker at two youth camps, and then in 2009 were told of the need to somehow "retain new believers who were coming in one door, and exiting the other."" Because of their experience in the church here in Mexico, they knew that teaching the discipleship concepts to the leaders in Cuba was the answer. They then traveled, serving as interpreters and small group teachers with "Discipler Training International."" In 2009 they held the first "Train the Trainer" session in the province of Bayamo. Since then they have traveled once or twice a year to different locations for the Discipleship Training. There are 16 provinces in Cuba and one by one, they are working alongside DTI and a team of Cuban nationals to take the training to each province.
Pre-marital counseling - We believe in marriage!
We believe that strong marriages will grow into strong families, causing a domino effect in our churches and communities. Since 1998 we have given pre-marital counseling to numerous couples, and like discipleship, it is modeling, parenting, mentoring...and it makes a difference! Couples are taken through a 12 week class where we go over subjects such as expectations, communication, conflict resolution, etc.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age"
Matthew 28:19-20
