My Asian culture made me ask few questions. Forgive me if they are not appropriate in Western culture.
Samaritan woman went out sharing her story immediately. Man with legion of evil spirits was asked to go back / remain in Decapolis. A new believer may have to face many hardships while entering the Kingdom.
The new believer is staying with you for 11 months? I don't know the full story or background.
In our culture 3 months is the maximum we allow new believers to be dependent on the community or leader.
Finally, because we are led by the Spirit not flesh, traditions or legalistic traditions, you have the freedom to mentor new believers in your own way.
Praying for more and more souls to be added to your ministry.
