SOUP AND LINDA TRAVELS

Nepal

Talmidim: Anand and Chiri
In the Dust of Papa Soup and Mama Linda

For Chiri and I, intentionally following Papa Soup and Mama Linda in the process of disciple making has been the most fulfilling reality in ministry as their model compels us to reproduce what we see in them: the heart, nature, person and character of Christ.

Although we have been in ministry for over two decades and have seen many souls added to the congregations that I pastored, surrendering ourselves under the yoke of Papa Soup and Mama Linda on the process of disciple-making has been the most illuminating act as it comes to ministry.

Their upcoming trip is October 28-November 11, 2023. We are excited to train more leaders and more couples.

I have seen how God has opened global doors for us as surrender to the process and are being discipled by them through the time spent, serving and traveling the globe together. The end of January, and first ten days of February 2023, we traveled with them to Ethiopia for training and equipping.

Likewise, Chiri and I will be traveling with them to Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda January 3-20th next year. Traveling with them and through their lives, I see globe as the field for disciple making, my vision is broadened. It is the most joyful journey in ministry being covered by the dust of our spiritual parents who incarnate the Word in their daily lives and demonstrate what is living with world-wide vision.
