We were so encouraged to have Tim Chou, our guest speaker, give a testimony about two decades of ministry with the Navigators and his clear 2026 vision centers on ordinary people sharing the gospel where they live, work, and play, and training everyday believers to make disciples without needing a special title. He offers testimonies from campus and small groups that illustrate a coaching model: gather to scatter, equip leaders to run Bible studies, and send them back into daily life with practical skills and confidence.

A highlight was hearing how several discipling relationships illustrate long-term investment. A college student met at a campus event matured into a leader after eleven years of one-on-one care. A hesitant man learned to lead Bible study through steady coaching and later encouraged others to step forward. A chance encounter in a furniture store became the entry point for a man who embraced faith, then shared it with coworkers and family. Marriage counseling and pre-marital coaching demonstrate how gospel-centered priorities shape relationships and prepare couples for lifelong commitment.

Tim then moved into Joshua 3, which supplies the theological backbone: God leads people into unknown territory. Tim’s own personal testimony reinforces the call to take risks.

Finally, this encouraging message ended with a concrete application to identify one next step of faith, share it with another person, and pray together. For Example, simple acts—canceling social media, giving away harmful media, inviting someone to a Bible study—become tangible ways to obey.
