Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 GLOBAL MISSIONS CAMBODIA Cambodia Hope Organization In Cambodia, we are privileged to partner with Chomno In. Sent to a work camp at age 14, Chomno endured starvation and torture at the hands of the Khmer Rouge; he alone of his family survived. After liberation and while living in a refugee camp, a Christian doctor introduced him to Christ. Chomno is now the founder of Cambodia Hope Organization, helping rebuild his country torn asunder by 30 years of civil war. KENYA Compassion International In Kenya, working with Compassion International, we are partnering with a local church in Githunguchu, Kenya. This church is doing a great job proclaiming and demonstrating God's love in their community and we are thrilled to come alongside them to advance the cause of Christ together.

7d7a7c2a-9c34-4733-aec9-2fe5483ee858 Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey.

We do not have to quit our jobs and move to a foreign country to participate in the mission of Jesus. We do it right where we live and work and play. Each month on this page we will offer practical guidance on how to join Jesus in the work he is already doing in the lives of those around us.

PERU SANTOS TORRES Tell me more about your mission? We are committed to the strengthening of Quechua church leaders and to the establishment of new churches characterized by their continuous integral growth, until the coming of Christ. What are some victories I can celebrate with you? We all have the potential to make it possible for children to hear the Word of God. In the highlands, I have not seen non-Christian parents stop their children from hearing the Gospel. On one occasion, during Vacation Bible School for children, there was a child very eager to learn the Word of God. This child had been given the task of taking care and shepherding the sheep. He brought all his sheep and placed them behind the church building to attend Vacation Bible School. There are many more children like him who want to know about Jesus Christ. You can help them by praying, coming, or sending someone so that children in Lima - in the mountains or in the jungle - can know and meet Jesus Christ as their Savior. What are some of the challenges you face? The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” How can I pray for you? For a new church in Punta Hermosa. For 14 pastors in Huancavelica and 3 in Iquitos, so they can continue serving our Lord. For God's direction to start a new church in the city of Acobamba. How can I support you? Please pray for us and come and visit us, our pastors and children in our community would like to meet you. Where can I learn more?
