How God is using Global Focus to Engage, Mobilize and Equip more Latin American churches for the Mission

Four years ago when I became the director of Global Focus Latin America, I started mobilizing churches and pastors. Today we have 10 pastors who are facilitators and we are mentoring over 100 churches, and are on schedule to mentor nearly 300 very soon. God has also allowed us to begin working with entire denominations like the Venezuelan, Brazilian, and Baja California Baptist Conventions, the Wesleyans of Mexico, Independent Baptist in Peru, the Panamericana Mission of Colombia and now we are in talks with the entire Baptist Convention of Mexico, and the Assemblies of God of Nicaragua. The transformation these churches are experiencing is dramatic and significant. Churches of several thousand and also small churches are for first time are sending out their own missionaries to unreached peoples. These churches are stepping up to the plate financially in a much bigger way; churches where they average salary is $500.00 a month are giving sacrificially. Now their members are engaged and personally participating in missions both locally and globally by praying, giving and going personally. These changes have been huge for Latin American churches.
