Sadly, most American Christians believe that the responsibility for sharing the gospel and making disciples is for the “professionals”. However, the Bible is clear, we are all commanded to make disciples! [Matthew 28.18-20]
One of the most important steps in making disciples is sharing the good news (gospel) about what Jesus did for us.
Based on limited anecdotal data, it seems that most Christians don’t have a Biblical, simple and reproducible gospel sharing tool. If that is the case for you, check out our website (https://sites.google.com/tenminas.net/home/Res/Gospel). There you will find videos, a script and a drawing for the Three Circles method.

Our Mentors
For a long time, my wife and I worked hard to make disciples, but really struggled with sharing the gospel. So, I spent a lot of time praying and asking God to give us a mentor. In May 2014, we connected with Chuck and Deb Wood.
In the answer to my prayers, they decided to invest heavily in us and we soon became good friends.
Together,
We praise God for bringing Chuck and Deb into our lives!!
- we attended trainings in South Florida, Austin, TX, and Houston, TX
- we went on three cruises totaling 33 days
- we led trainings in:
- Melbourne, Australia
- Wollongong, Australia
- Auckland, New Zealand
- Cuenca, Ecuador
- Nagoya, Japan
- Tokyo, Japan
- Seattle, WA
- Houston, TX
- Raymondville, TX
- Corpus Christi, TX
- Kerrville, TX
- New Braunfels, TX
- Seguin, TX
- many locations across the San Antonio, TX
- we even trained crewmembers on the Carnival Legend Cruise Ship!
If our friendship / partnership wasn’t enough, what actually prompted this post is a story that Chuck shared several weeks ago. He said that about a dozen years ago, he and three other guys drove to each Army base in CONUS and prayed over the base. Today, there are healthy church planting movements on most of those bases!
For about 10 years, God has been prompting me to “Wake up the American Church and raise up an army to advance God’s Kingdom against Satan’s strongholds.” Chuck’s story about praying over the Army bases motivated me to get started with this blog.
Please join our prayer team and pray for all the churches in America!

Training - First Baptist Church and Iglesia la Luz del Barrio - June 30, 2018
What an amazing time with First Baptist Church, San Antonio and Iglesia la Luz del Barrio on Saturday, 6/30!
We had two 4-1-1 simultaneous trainings; 38 attended the English speaking and 15 attended the Spanish speaking.
Trainers came from the 2-2-2 Church and Life Church as well as First Baptist Church and Iglesia Luz del Barrio.
The outreach after lunch was focused around where Iglesia Luz del Barrio meets. The teams found:
- People of peace - 6
- People desiring followup - 19
August 1-4, we will repeat the training and do several days of outreach with the goal of starting several new churches in the neighborhood.
Contact us if you would like more information about how we can do the same thing for your church!
