In a recent post, Preaching Today highlighted the work of Asian Access in a South Asian country. Having just been with our country directors in March, their lives are still under threat and pressure (we have been asked not to publish their names or country). The seven questions local church leaders ask new believers cause us to pause and remember them in our prayers. They have counted the cost and measured their lives as they stand boldly for Christ in their nation.

Here is what Marshall Shelley, Editor in Chief of  Leadership Journal, had to say in a recent newsletter, and a link to the illustration:

"Asian Access (or A2), a Christian missions agency in South Asia, lists the questions that church planters must ask new believers who are considering baptism. The country is predominantly Hindu, but Christianity is growing. Here are questions to determine a new convert's readiness to follow Christ. It's a great illustration of the cost of discipleship."
