Each month our global team made up of all the country coordinators meets to pray for one of our countries where we are working. They report on their work and we pray for that country. This month it was Guatemala and I was so encourage about what the Lord continues to do with Carlos Lopez and his team so I wanted to share it with you all.
This is where the work is currently at. Keep in mind we started a small church in our apartment with 10 people. As RNV Guatemala, we are discipling 72 people across 7 different communities; we are training 13 individuals in local leadership; we have 2 students enrolled in the Bible Institute’s course on pastoral care and church leadership; we have planted 2 churches, with two more currently in progress; and we have one pioneer church. (Pioneer church is an existing church that enters the network)
Here are a few pictures of their discipleship groups.
Below is one of the churches in process of being planted in Santa Maria. They had a major earthquake last year and from the ministry and evangelism they did there a church has resulted.
This is their vision over the next 5 years:
To have 300 people active in discipleship groups. To plant 10 healthy churches in Guatemala by intentionally discipling their members through the Discipleship Route.
And 2 training centers:
A Bible Institute
A School of Missions
A Pastoral School
5 pioneer churches driven by a passion to make disciples who make disciples.
150 leaders undergoing training at the Bible Institute.
(Carlos has never lacked for vision ;-)
Here are some of the prayer requests he shared so you can join me in praying for them:
- Resources for the pastors and their families.
- Resources for transportation to reach the communities.
- That God would raise up a prayer leader to share with each of the pastors and community leaders.
- For the discipleship leaders, that they may attend to the needs of every discipler.
