Our Team

A few weeks ago we chartered our new church plant, Fuente para las Naciones (Fountain to the Nations). We had a productive and inspiring strategic-planning time for our church plant with our newly formed team. We would like to introduce you to two of our team members (also World Impact missionaries) and ask for your prayers for each one of us especially that God would knit us together in loving unity for His glory. It is exciting seeing how God has brought us together for this task--we all complement one another well with our different gifts, talents, interests, and personalities. Pictured L to R, The Fuente para las Naciones church plant team: Norma, Rebecca, Chad, Fabiola, Justice and Tiffany.

Norma was born in Mexico and came to the United States when she was nine years old; she is one of eight children. Norma and her whole family came to know Christ through World Impact Bible clubs. Norma has been working with World Impact for 20 years. She started her ministry at THE OAKS camp, where she worked with the youth teaching them basic work skills and cooking. She enjoyed teaching them about Christ.
Norma moved to Los Angeles six years ago and has been working as a church planter, first with a Spanish-speaking church and most recently with an English-speaking simple church (house church). Since her time in L.A., she has explored the different gifts that God has given her. She enjoys meeting people in the community when she goes out and evangelizes throughout the week. She has also been teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and an aerobics class to ladies in the community. Norma enjoys discipling ladies and will be helping with the pastoral care and training of the women.

We met Tiffany in Wichita, Kansas, at a church-planting training two years ago. It was at that time we realized how well our gifts meshed but did not know what God might have in store. Tiffany, originally from Chicago, has been in Los Angeles for less than a year, but she is already discipling youth (junior high, high school, and college age) and training them to be future leaders in the city. She will help our team by focusing on some of our key youth with whom we have established relationships. Using her gifts, abilities, and passion to disciple and train up youth, she will pour into them biblical foundations, vision, and sincere relationship. She will also train others to minister to the youth and children leaving the ministry in good hands in the future.

Please join us this month by praying for:
• A male team member (Spanish speaking, faithful, available, teachable, shares the same values).

• Norma to be able to move into the neighborhood so she can be more fruitful with relationships and time (living incarnationally rather than commuting 15 minutes).

• Powerful, fruitful ministry and positive team dynamics as we work together for God’s glory.

For God’s team,
Chad and Fabiola Wolyn
