Maternity Home Matching Grant Update

Please give a listen to Tati describe a couple of heart-wrenching stories of moms giving birth in Honduras.

We have initiated a Maternity Home Project because we know that stories like the ones we have shared here from Tati are way too common. A clean and safe facility like the one we have proposed will help hundreds of moms as they bring their children into this world. 

Until May 31st, 2017 we have been given a wonderful opportunity to DOUBLE our efforts.

Every Dollar that is donated between now and May 31st will be DOUBLED thanks to a generous group of donors who have partnered with us!

Global Pathway in Honduras presented by Dr Mitch Arbeláez

What is Global Pathway?

“God loves to bless the work of the local church when that work includes reaching out to the nations of the earth.”

— Dr. Jerry Williamson, President of Go To Nations

---

GLOBAL PATHWAY IS SET OF CHURCH EMPOWERMENT TOOLS THAT WILL LAUNCH THE LOCAL BODY INTO GREATER EFFECTIVENESS IN REACHING GOD'S GLOBAL HARVEST.

We understand the struggles of leading the local church. Pastors and church leaders carry a dream deep within their hearts to see God's call fulfilled in their own lives and in their churches.  Endless hours of work and sacrifice are often given, year after year, in order to see the church progress in true spiritual growth and purpose.  But many times, one area of the church's growth seems to fall short because the pastor does not know exactly how to approach it--namely, the church's global outreach or missions program. Global Pathway is designed to help pastors eliminate the uncertainty of missions and help their churches launch strong missions programs or help create new potential for existing ones.  

Three Core Principles form the foundation for this transformational training:

1. Every Christian is called by God to take personal ownership of the Great Commission.

2. The local church is God's primary instrument to reach the world for Christ, and must be mobilized for this purpose.

3. The local church is the seed bed for all missionaries, and the sending force behind all missionaries.

Thoughts on Leadership From Dr David Shibley

Some thoughts on ministry and leadership that I've developed over the years....

Dr. David Shibley

Global Advance

Effective leadership is influencing people in the areas and for the purposes God intended for your life. Additionally, for the Christian effective leadership involves the discovery and utilization of your dominant spiritual gifts as well as keeping focused on where you can make your unique contribution.

A ministry leader's role includes:

1) defining and continually clarifing the corporate ministry vision,

2) consistently casting that vision before friends, partners, and the recipients of the ministry,

3) thanking staff and partners, and

4) raising the money necessary to fulfill the vision.

A Christ-honoring leader will seek always to point people to Jesus. He will keep the corporate vision clear both to himself and to the team. He will discern the direction the wind of the Spirit is blowing, and let the Spirit's momentum move him in that direction.

-Dr. David Shibley

Water Well Project - Update

We are very excited to share with you a fantastic update from Honduras. 

As you may remember, we began raising funds to assist a community in Honduras to drill a new water well in their town. 

Many people, organizations, and churches have given towards this effort, and over the Christmas Holiday, we received the amount needed to begin making this Water Well a reality.

One of our Partners in Honduras, Jorge Amador, has been helping us coordinate with the community, hire local drilling professionals, as well as provide oversight to the project. 

The drilling was initiated on Monday, January 23, and we could not be happier with the progress. In fact, during the first part of the drilling process, it was concluded that the well needed to be drilled to an additional depth, and the community members along with their neighbors have come together to raise additional funding in order to continue digging the well to the proper depth. 

Please continue to pray with us as this project proceeds and we wait to see this water well be completed!  

Due to selfless giving, and efficient collaboration this Well will not only provide clean water to a town but also a restored faith in Jesus because of answered prayers.

Thank you for praying and checking in on us. We just returned from our trip to Cuba, and it was amazing. 

Connect Global Team in Cuba

Thank You for your Support

We joined a team from an organization called Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness, comprised of leaders from Florida, and Texas. Our team visited 4 cities and hosted 3 separate conferences. 

People came from all over Cuba and represented every single province in Cuba.

People slept in the churches, or doubled up with families but the main focus was to be at these conferences. 

The Cuban leaders organized several segments of teaching In which our team jumped in and did a fantastic job. We also visited a dozen churches, and met with city leadership in Ciego de Avila, Santiago de Cuba, and Holguin. 

In Holguin there were over 500 Prison and Hospital Chaplains and Leaders that all came to be encouraged and equipped. We joined other keynote speakers from Chicago and California. 

We are excited about the potential that is upon Cuba for widespread positive change.

The people we met are hardworking, and dedicated to their cause. We are anticipating more opportunity to go back and would love for you to consider going with us. If you are interested please send us a message!
