This month we ask for prayer for a training we will be doing in Mexico with Pastor Daniel. Pastor Daniel has a vision to plant 500 churches. In under 10 years he has raised up a great network of pastors and leaders and has planted over 40 churches (reaching over 1,000 people). When he found out about our church plant school he asked if we would come down and train some of his key leaders so that they could use our resources to equip and empower more leaders throughout Mexico and Latin America. They don’t have a lot of resources, but they do have a lot of heart and we are inspired that they see barriers more like hurdles to go over than something that stops them in their tracks.
On the other side of the US, in Miami, and the other side of Latin America, in Columbia, we are launching two more church plant schools with a couple that we trained last year, Javier and Martha. Please keep them in prayer as they prepare to train over 60 church planters. One team that is being trained in Miami has a vision to plant in Cuba, those in Columbia want to start new churches all throughout that country. Join us in praying for these laborers who so eagerly serve the Lord in the expansion of the Gospel and for fruitfulness in the harvest through their efforts.
This month we will also be training a core group of leaders at a local church that serves the community near where we live. Each of the pastors and key leaders will be going through our Trauma Training and once trained want to take everyone in their church through a Healing Group that deals with how to heal from all types of heart wounds from a Biblical perspective.
A huge thank you to everyone that has been praying with us about our housing issues and move. In just two weeks’ time we had a fire behind our house destroying the homeless encampment and a large portion of our neighbor’s fence and yard, 2 broken car windows, a break-in/things stollen from our minivan (different vehicle than broken windows), a broken washing machine, and the stove stopped working…and we still haven’t moved to the new house due to safety issues and other complications. Living out of boxes in a part of the city that just doesn’t play fair has been difficult, but we are thankful for what we do have – which when we sit and think about it is so much compared to many of our neighbors and people around the world.
Please join us in praying for:
·
Pastor Daniel and
our Evangel Dean School to train pastors that will train church planters in
Mexico and beyond.
·
Pastor Javier’s
two Evangel Schools of Urban Church Planting in Columbia and Miami.
·
Pastor Alex and
Octavio and the team from La Viña
as they go through the Trauma Training and beyond.
·
Our move to be a
blessing and create a safe and comfortable space where our family and ministry
can thrive.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support that make this ministry possible.
