Mentoring New Peruvian Churches

During my time in Peru, I have also been able to start our missional process in a new church in Lima; Ingenerias Bible Baptist Church. Last Saturday I spent 7 hours with 70 leaders from the church helping them go through our Global Focus seminar. As pastor Jorge Canales and I ate breakfast before the event he said; “Pastor Rafael, I want our church to do more than just financially support a few missionaries, and take a few short term trips, I want our church to make a greater impact on the nations and be more strategically involved in missions.” I wish you could have been with us as we taught the 70 leaders all day on Saturday felt the parable enthusiasm, and seen how engaged they all were during the entire seminar.

During last week in I was also able to continue mentoring Vida Nueva in La Molina, our host church for the training event. This is a church that is implement Global Focus into the life of the church. They are developing local missional projects and also establishing missions mobilizers (missional champions) for each one of their missionaries. They are integrating missions into each and every one of their ministries. God is using this church to make a huge financial impact in the nations.

I was also able to help Pablo Caruachin who is mentoring Pro Bible Baptist Church in another area of Lima. He has been mentoring this church for almost a year, and helped them develop their Purpose Statement, and align the church around the single mission for which the church was created.

The passion in this church, the young people, the pastor to make an impact on the nations was felt in the atmosphere of the church. Pablo Caruachin is doing a great job leading our efforts in Peru and is mentoring 30 churches in our process!
