Santa Cruz was the second best, and we did well for our first seminar in Cochabamba.

We have several church groups interested in our coaching, including Friends churches. They would like us to help coach their missionaries working with the Chimani people in the jungles. There were also some people with the Assemblies of God, and a Friends church in two of the cities who would like to disciple their communities holistically. A YWAM leader in Santa Cruz also showed interest.<\/li>\n<li>A few leaders of large denominations are not as interested as D4D does not offer money or projects for the development branch of their church denomination structure. Also the holistic approach doesn\u2019t fit their spiritual discipleship vs physical development paradigms. This is good, because we need those people who really want our coaching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"background-color: #c8ced6;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a

special note was the interest of two Christian NGOs, Food for the Hungry &#8211; Bolivia, and Compassion International &#8211; Bolivia. Both have had successful ministries, and they both feel they have not yet experienced the wholistic, empowering community transformation they have wanted to see. They are encouraged by Discipling for Development\u2019s experience, and want us to train their leaders and staff, and enter a long-term, five-year coaching relationship! We have not worked with these groups in this way before, because they bring in outside money and projects in the communities which often results in dependency. We are being attentive to what God is doing. Back in 2007 God led the Navigator D4D team to begin coaching their first church group (Evangelical Friends Church of Rwanda) because God was clearly leading, and everyone on their team including <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-24161 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-1536x1154.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-2048x1539.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Thomas-D4D-Whole-Life-Discipleship-Feb-2023-Bolivia-Trip-Group-Shot-2-600x451.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Debby Thomas and Augustin Simparinka were so hungry, ripe, and ready for D4D coaching!

Judy took the finances, Gary did the overall leadership, Merry Lee organized the devotionals, Cintia took care of us in La Paz, Rodiz in Santa Cruz, and Henry Nogales in Cochabamba. Merry Lee coached one facilitation team and Gary in the other. As the main D4D mentor with Spanish I was able to focus on the key parts I had. Stefanie Chambi became my right-hand person as she clearly understands D4D and is able to clearly communicate as well.<\/li>\n<li>Gary was able to recover from an intestinal problem, and Judy as well from a cold that turned into bronchitis.
