Taking TEA in New Zealand

OM International

TEA team - January to March 2008English/Espanol


The TEA (Training, Evangelism, Adventure) programme is offered 3-4 times a year by OM in New Zealand.  TEA exists to help young people to grow in discipleship and to develop confidence in sharing Christ’s Good News.

Laure is a young believer from Belgium, a country with few Christians.  One of her reasons for joining TEA was to get to know God better. She says that TEA “has shaken me and my small picture of God… I learned so much about God and who He really is, (not the one that I made up!) I now have a better understanding of what a disciple of Christ is and what God wants him to do.” 

“Does it glorify God?” is a question that Laure now asks regularly when faced with decisions in her daily life.  She is now excited to go home and live out her faith among her family and friends who don’t know Jesus. “I received a tool-belt to be an effective worker for God’s glory. I’m ready for it!”

 

TOMANDO TE EN NUEVA ZELANDA

El programa TEA (Entrenamiento, Evangelismo, Aventura) por sus siglas en inglés, ofrecido por OM Nueva Zelanda tres o cuatro veces al año, está diseñado para ayudar a jóvenes a crecer en el discipulado y desarrollar confianza para compartir las Buenas Nuevas de Cristo.

Laure es una joven creyente de Bélgica, un país con pocos cristianos. Una de las razones que tuvo para unirse a TEA fue conocer mejor a Dios. Dice que TEA “me ha conmovido y ha cambiado la pequeña imagen que tenía de Dios. Aprendí mucho acerca de Él, de quién es en realidad (¡ciertamente no es como yo lo había fabricado!) Ahora tengo un entendimiento mayor acerca de lo que significa ser un discípulo de Cristo y de lo que Dios quiere de mi.”

“¿Glorifica esto a Dios?” es la pregunta que Laure se hace ahora a menudo cuando se enfrenta con las decisiones de la vida diaria. Está entusiasmada de ir a casa y vivir su fe entre su familia y amigos que no conocen a Jesús. “He recibido un conjunto de herramientas para ser una obrera efectiva para la gloria de Dios. ¡Estoy lista!”
