Two weeks ago I was in Lima, Peru mentoring Bible Baptist Church of Callao. They have now developed their missional statement which is a huge sign at the front of their auditorium that says: “Bible Baptist Church of Callao exists to GLORIFY God, by making DISCIPLES that PREACH Christ here in Lima, and in all of the NATIONS of the world.”
That missional statement at the very front of their auditorium sets the standard that the reason why there church exists is to build the Kingdom of God. During the module I was able to teach them on this visit was how to form their Global Teams. I wish you could have seen pastor Oscar as he heard of the missional projects that his own people were coming up with as they were thinking of reaching their own Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Ends of the Earth.
Pastor Oscar told me that the people have never been more excited, and participative in God’s Mission.
Not only was I able to mentor pastor Oscar’s church, but I was able to meet with the leadership and preach in both Sunday am services of Vida Nueva (New Life Church). Pastor Thomas Pace has been the missionary pastor of this great missional church for many years, and now pastor Fernando says that he believes that Global Focus can take them to an even more engaged level of missions. We will begin the process with their church in May of this year.
