Pastor Yovanny Alvarez is not only mentoring dozens of churches in Venezuela, helping to send new missionaries to the field, he is also training pastors who have implemented Global Focus in their own church to mobilize other churches. Now he has trained pastor Javier Zurita, who is now mentoring churches in our missional process.
Yovanny is leading our team in Venezuela, and now they have 4 facilitators mentoring different churches.Yovanny is also the director for World Missions for the Venezuelan Baptist Convention, (the majority of the churches he is mentoring are baptist churches).
But now he is multiplying the mobilization beginning to mentor Church of God churches in Venezuela as well. He was able to meet with their leadership, and talk about partnering with them to help them develop missional churches as well. They have been very impressed with the progress baptist churches have made in missions, and want to implement the same process in their churches as well.
FBC Guanare had their Global Celebration a few weeks ago, and they are multiplying the mobilization by sending even more of their families to the unreached. When I first began working with this church, they did not have a cross cultural family on the field.
Now they have one family in Central Asia serving, and they have at least 2 more that will be going to North Africa and East Asia soon. They also pray for and support several families we have sent, and connected them with.
