Lima: Vida Nueva la Molina and Bible Baptist Church of Callao
This weekend I was able to launch Global Focus with Vida Nueva La Molina in Lima (Several of the churches we mentor have the same name in Peru and the D.R.). On Friday and Saturday about 90 leaders came together to go through the Global Focus seminar (which is the seminar we give before starting our mentoring process with the church). Their leaders were challenged and excited at the same time, especially as I showed them videos and shared testimonies of other Latin American church that are engaged in world missions.
BIMI Missionary Thomas Pace started this church 25 years ago, and now Pastor Fernando continues the Godly legacy and says that Global Focus is going to help their church mobilize even more of their members to live their lives intentionally on mission with God, both locally and globally. It was my honor to preach in both of their Sunday am services where nearly 20 people responded to the Gospel and many dozens surrendered their lives to become God's Seed to the Nations.
Connect Global is helping to connect Pamela, one of their cross cultural workers with other Global Focus churches in order to send her to work with and reach refugee's for Christ in Europe. At the same time I was starting the Global Focus process in Vida Nueva.
I would travel across town to mentor Bible Baptist Church of Callao.This church is in the 4th module of our missional process, and doing a great job at implementing every paradigm shift. In this module we start to help them prepare their first Global Celebration where they will bring in local, national and international missionaries from all over the world. This church is the home church of Dr. V.T. whom we sent to Central Asia 3 years ago in partnership with FBC Temple Terrace, FL. Now there are at least 3 other young professionals in the church we are working with to send to the nations.
