Being a Disciple of Christ

NBC Alumnus, Rev. Manoj Ingle, and 15-year-old son, Eli Ingle, shared in NBC Chapel. Manoj and his wife, Vandana, are both NBC alumni. Eli is a high school freshman with a clear call from God to evangelize his generation.  He uses TikTok to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Rev. Manoj shared how NBC shaped them for ministry in their home and in the world. Their children are serving the Lord and “a lot of the credit goes to NBC,” Pastor Manoj shared. NBC’s influence is wide and deep preparing people around the world to be disciples of Christ and to serve Him. People are coming to Christ because of this formation from NBC.

Eli shared that in Luke 9, Jesus says to deny yourself. This is what we must do as disciples of Christ. We need to die to sin and deny ourselves for Christ.  “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23) It is a must that we fully accept Christ, share the gospel, and make disciples. This is exactly what Eli is doing with his life.

Eli surrendered his life to Christ on his 13th birthday, in India, when reading the New Testament. He felt that it was his responsibility to preach the Gospel after surrendering his life to Christ. He is using TicTok, a social media platform, to share the Gospel. He has 40,000 followers who watch his videos. Eli also attends a Bible Study with 30 other people that encourage each other mutually. He also started a Christ Club at his school, teaching others how to share the Gospel and how to make disciples. He personally talks to 5-10 people a day about Jesus. His motivation is that Jesus is coming back soon. He is also mocked for his faith at school by other students and teachers. He travels a lot as a soccer player and is a great influence for Christ on the field and on the side lines. You can find Eli on TicTok.com: eliingle2 bible talk.
