There is only one way to Finish the Task that Jesus gave us is to send more people to those that have never had access to the Gospel. It is not an easy task, to the contrary; it is quit difficult because of the location of these unreached people groups, because of dangers in taking the Gospel to these areas. But still the fact remains, that in order to obey the Great Commission, we need to take the Gospel and make disciples among every people group, even the difficult ones. Even in these difficult areas, when they have access to the Gospel, some respond, believers begin to meet in groups, churches are formed, others begin to be discipled, and God is glorified.
So, where do we get the new workers to go to these areas, where do we recruit from? We have more than enough workers to take the Gospel to the unreached, but the problem is they are bunched up in one place.What we do in Global Focus, is help the local church to realize that it’s purpose is not just to hold weekend services, or build building, but it is the main instrument that God has chosen to take the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth! The church is God’s Missions Agency!

We believe that Latin America is pivotal in reaching the nations for Christ. Latin American are culturally and physically suited to fit into many of these cultures.(Now, that does not mean that the U.S. no longer needs to send missionaries, we need to send even more). But Latin American churches do need to be mobilized. Many churches in Latin America still view themselves as the mission field, not as a missions force. Our job is to help churches (ie; church leaders, and church members) understand that God has blessed Latin America, so we can bless the nations! The only way this takes place is withintentional mobilization.

That is exactly what we are doing with nearly 450 churches we are mentoring in Latin America. These churches are now sending their own people to the unreached! But yet, there is still a huge need for more workers in the fields. The only way to get more workers to the fields, is by mobilizing more churches, and more missionaries and we have a very unique opportunity to do exactly that. God has exponentially blesses our mobilization efforts, and given us more opportunities than we are able to take. At the same time, He is raising up more mobilizers to help facilitate Global Focus in even more churches.
Just this last month we received news from a doctor that was sent from a church we mentored in El Salvador, how he is sharing the Gospel with mslms inside of a war torn country in the Middle East, and how they are responding. God is using this young Salvadorian doctor, not only to meet the physical needs, but to expand the Kingdom of God to a very dangerous area of unreached peoples.
