Escuelita de Misiones

 I shared a while back that one area in which the Lord has burdening me is Missionary Mobilization. Mobilizing the Latino Church into missions especially missions to the least reached peoples of the world. This work has begun in a few ways. One we have a series focused on global missions happening right now at Iglesia Nueva Vida. We are beginning 21 days of prayer today.

Another big step towards mobilizing Guatemalans towards global missions is a 8 week course on missions we are teaching. This is a course developed by Center for Mission Mobilization.  We have 20 students and hope to do this a few times a year to help people see their role in the Great Commission. We are excited about how the Lord is going to use this to mobilize not just a few missionaries but our church here and eventually many other churches and networks of churches. Please pray about this.

Here is a cool mural we did recently in the church to help us stay focused on Missions.

Missions Mobilization

 One of the things that Lord has begun to lead us towards getting involved in is mobilization of missionaries. Nearly 70% of the global church lives in the global south which is Latin America, Non Muslim Africa, Middle East and East Asia. But where the majority of Christians live the minority of missionaries come from. Even though the majority of Christians live in the global south only about 25% of the missionaries in the world come from these parts of the world. So we have begun how we can begin to mobilize those here with whom we have influence and contact.

One of the things Ben was able to do recently along these lines is share with a group of pastors here in Magdalena about this very idea of mobilizing not just a few but all in our churches for the work of making disciples of all nations.

Please pray that we will have more opportunities to encourage the mobilization of Guatemalans for global missions!
