Preparing people to personally make disciples was part of a September theological training week in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
From September 14–18, 2026, Seminário Teológico da América Latina held an in-person module for academic credit. Alongside Introduction to the Old Testament and Hermeneutics, Alejandro Fernández led training in personal disciple-making.
Alejandro leads our Spanish and Portuguese-speaking ministry. His work in this setting serves a clear purpose: equipping students to take the Becoming a Disciple-Maker resources into their own ministry and begin investing personally in others.
That preparation has two closely connected applications. A student can personally befriend and disciple a new believer, helping them develop the spiritual skills needed to grow in Christ. They can also gather a small group in their church and equip those members to become disciple-makers who will invest in others themselves.
At the heart of both is a Christ-centered friendship. Through personal example, encouragement, and practical use of the resources, believers learn how to walk alongside another person and help them follow Jesus.
We thank God for this opportunity in southern Brazil. Please pray that the students will put their preparation into practice, serving the Great Commission one life at a time and equipping others to do the same.
