After Jessica was trained in disciple-making, her neighborhood Discovery Bible Study (DBS) led 13 women to Jesus. One of those new believers opened the doors to sharing Jesus with parents and students in a rough part of Lima, Peru. In just a few months, over 1,000 people were in DBSs across multiple schools. The rate at which people are coming to Jesus is unbelievable!
Hallelujah Toffee has grown from a small family-run side-hustle into a volunteer-powered non-profit that contributes all of their profits to missions. It’s seriously good candy that’s bringing people to Jesus, both in the kitchen and around the world.

One at a time, the kids prayed for each other to be healed. No one had taught them to do this. But there were so many stories of Jesus healing people that they’d started asking, “Can we do it? Can we ask Jesus to heal?” And prayer for one another has been the result. This is a unique expression of church for kids and by kids. This is “Pizzachurch.”
Do you know people who just say it like it is? They don’t pretend to be something they’re not. Those people carry an authenticity through life that’s refreshing, even more so when they walk the talk. And that’s what comes to mind for us when we think about Dorah.
