Ministry Spotlight - Jenifer Cortés

Last year, Jenifer Cortés spent eight months serving on Disciple Daily's Fellowship Team. During that season, she immersed herself in God's Word, practiced sharing the Bible with others, and discovered that discipleship grows through everyday relationships.

That season wasn't the finish line. It was one step in the journey God has been writing in her life.

Today, Jenifer is pursuing God's call to full-time missions through Antioch Discipleship School. This summer, she served in Myanmar, where she experienced firsthand that God is already at work long before we arrive.

Here's part of what Jenifer shared with us after serving in Myanmar.

One simple prayer became part of our daily routine:
"Lord, You are already at work. Lead us to someone who is hungry to know You."

Then we walked the streets, talked with people, and trusted God to open the right conversations.

One day we met a Muslim taxi driver. As we shared a story about Jesus, he began to cry and asked, "How do I receive Jesus as my Savior?"

Another evening we met the daughter of a restaurant owner who spoke perfect English. As we talked, I naturally shared the story of Creation and the Fall using simple hand motions I had learned during my Fellowship year. It didn't feel like a presentation—it simply fit the conversation.

Afterward, one of my leaders smiled and said,That conversation reminded me how God has been preparing me, step by step, for moments like these.

We also met Pho Pho, a young woman carrying the pain of losing her father when she was only five years old. She chose to follow Jesus that day. Since then, she has continued meeting with believers in her city and recently shared that she no longer feels alone. She told us she prayed to Jesus, and He answered her prayer immediately—showing her that He is real.
Myanmar reminded me that living on mission doesn't start when you board a plane. It begins wherever God has already placed you.

One of the greatest gifts of disciple-making is watching God continue writing someone's story long after one season ends.

Jenifer hopes to one day return home to Oaxaca, Mexico, where her desire is to spend her life making disciples in her own community.

We're grateful that Disciple Daily could be one chapter in that journey, and we're excited to see where God leads her next.
