Peruvian Global Focus pastors visit North Africa and the Middle East

Many think that the local church’s responsibility in global missions is to just financially supporting missions, and sometimes pray for the missionaries. But not in the Global Focus missional paradigm.

We teach that it is not only the local church’s responsibility to send out it’s own people, and financially support them, but also personally participate in what God is doing around the world.

For that reason, one of our non negotiable principals is that churches take missions trips, that they personally go, and explore the field for themselves, and work along side field workers and see how they can personally engage.

In Latin America, churches are more used to receiving teams than sending them out. This week 4 Peruvian pastors, all of whom are pastors of churches that we have mentored, and all 4 are Global Focus facilitators.

These pastors are in North Africa and the Middle East this week visiting some of the same workers they have sent from their own churches.For the majority, this is the first time they have ever been able to travel to this part of the world. They are totally overwhelmed with how God is already working and using Latin American workers in this part of the world.

This is an exploratory trip so that later they can take some of their own people and participate in projects with some of the field workers.
