I personally mentor 2 churches in Bolivia, Karos La Paz, and Kairos Santa Cruz. We just finished our personalization module with over 150 leaders from both churches, teaching a total of nearly 20 hours. The purpose of this module is to help everyone in the church to find their unique missional purpose in God’s Kingdom. After teaching the leaders how to use our material, they in turn will teach the same personalization module in small groups, so that each person in the church is able to find where they fit into God’s Global Mission. Why do we do this? Because missions in not just about missionaries, missions is the purpose for the life of each follower of Christ.
How are they implementing this in their church and their lives? Kairos has started missional projects with laypeople that are reaching marginalized street children, prostitutes, marginalized areas, not only that, they are taking the Gospel to indigenous areas of their own country, they have engaged the Mennonite population with the Gospel, and they just returned with us last month from a Bible distribution project in Central Asia. Another team returned last month from Angola, Africa, they also have teams working in the Middle East and in totally closed countries of Asia.
Not only was I able to teach their leaders, but also a group of 12 young professionals that feel a special call of God on their lives to cross cultural missions. These young professionals are passionate about taking God’s glory to the nations and becoming future missionaries.
