We started mentoring churches in Latin American in the Global Focus missional process, because we had more missionary candidates to go the unreached from Latin America than churches that were willing or able to send them. In the beginning, we mentored very few churches, but those churches did so well in missions, their own people started participating personally in missions, the churches started praying every service for missions and missionaries, more and more of their members surrendered their lives to go out as missionaries, and they had the funds to send them. Then other churches wanted to be mentored a well, and Global Focus Latin America began to grow. Our beginning were very humble, no office, no staff, and no money (well, we still have no money).
That was just 4 years ago, we never dreamed the impact that Global Focus would have not only in Latin America, but in other countries as well, and that those churches would send now 52 missionary units to unreached people groups in the North Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia, West Africa and Europe.
We are now mentoring churches 15 different countries, and we have 14 different facilitators who are multiplying the work of mentoring churches all over Latin America, all of them are successful pastors that have been through the process in their own churches.
In the last 4 years Global Focus has exponentially grown not only in Latin America, but because of what God is doing with the churches we mentor, now churches in other countries are wanting Global Focus as well.
