What a privilege to be invited to attend the missions conference at the Rio Grande Bible Institute in Edinburg, Texas. I was able to see first-hand how God is raising up Latins (some refer to this as the "Global South"....which also includes missionaries being raised up from Africa and Asia) to be "sent out"to the various parts of the world. Some estimates say that there are over 10,000 Latin missionaries serving world-wide...in over 20 countries. During my time at RGBI, I met many who were interested in either returning to their countries of origin to serve the Lord AND those who wanted to serve in places like Spain, Hispanic parts of the US, Uruguay and Argentina. Please pray as I follow up on the 10+ interested folks with whom I had contact.
One of those intersted was Marco Chavez whom I met during our ministry in Mexico. He expressed his interest in serving the Lord in church planting as well as children and youth work. Marco participated in our Summer Missionary Program in Mexico for several years along with his sister. Now he's preparing for ministry at RGBI and desires to follow God's leading wherever that might be. Please pray for Marco as he pursues God's will for His life. I'll be working with him on some possible ministry options for this upcoming summer.
