CIMA is an Urbana or Passion type conference in South America. Hundreds of college students and graduates come from all over South America and for an entire week are challenged and learn about missions.
For the last 5 years I have had the privilege of being one of the main missions speakers for these events. Last week I was able to participate in CIMA Bolivia and teach about unreached people groups, about the church’s response to ISIS, opportunities for Latin Americans in the Middle East and North Africa. During the free times, dozens of these young people would come up and spend hours asking questions, seeking opportunities to serve in difficult areas. Just this week here in Argentina, I met a young man that was part of a group that came to all my sessions 2 years ago, asked tons of questions. He told me this year, “you impacted my life and challenged me to use my career and passion for His mission among the unreached. I am leaving in 2 months to move to Southeast Asia to serve the Lord!”
The last night in Bolivia I was asked to give the main missions challenge and we had over 100 surrender their lives to God’s Global Mission. Please pray for these young people that are seeking to impact the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
