New Life Network USA Vision for 2025

Ben learned a lot during 2024. There are a lot of challenges facing our hispanic brothers and sisters. It has been a joy for Ben to serve them and learn from them. New life network focuses on forming and reproducing discipeles, forming leaders and planting churches. Here are some things we saw God do in 2024:

• Started a monthly prayer time with our pastors.
• Started monthly coaching with each pastor.
• Started an annual retreat with the pastors and wives. (See pic above)
• 4 new churches or churches in process of being planted, entered the network. (6 churches in total now) (See pic at bottom which shows one new church signing)
• 2 new discipleship groups started. (See pic below of one of them)

The vision for 2025 is to continue seeing growth and implementation of our processes in the churches we have, grow in prayer, build a team to help lead the efforts. In addition this is what we are praying the Lord will do in 2025:

• See our churches grow from 6 to 10 in total.
• See our discipleship groups grow from 3 to 15, with 75 total people in our discipleship route.
• Have 10 leaders formed through our leadership training.
• Plant one new church.

Thanks for praying and supporting us which allows us to do this work of serving the Hispanic Church in the USA. 

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

New Life Network Guatemala Update

 

New Life Network in Guatemala continues to advance and grow. There are many opportunities for growth and we have been praying and discernign which doors to walk through. Two opportunties that we are pursuing is planting churches in two communties close to where we planted the first church. Pray for Eswin and Evelyn and there team there in Santa Lucia. They have been praying and evangelizing and forming a team there and hope to launch some Sunday gatherings mid year this year.

We also are preparing a planter for another community close and hope to begin a work there by the end of the year. We also have a young man, Ivan, whom we believe the Lord is raising up to be sent to Honduras to partner with another ministry BVSA who already has a ministry there to help them plant a church. We are super excited to send our first missionary!

The first plant in Magdalena just celebrated 5 years of ministry. Check out some pictures below of this work. Pray for Carlos, Yosimar and the elders of this church. Thanks for praying and supporting these works in Guatemala!
