Your Link to Latin America Episode #5 | December 12, 2022

Participating Globally

Greetings!

For the last four weeks, we have stopped by your inbox on Monday to share some of the exciting things that God is doing in Latin America through the Free Methodist Church.

This week in our 5th episode, Your Link to Latin America, you will hear from Bishop Linda Adams, Area Director Ricardo Gomez, Latin America Missionaries Kay Stotts Godoy (ICCM), Rich and Laurie Sherriff (Chile), and Wendy Lorenz (Costa Rica) as well as two US partners, Amber Jennings (Endicott, NY) and Deanna Hayes (Avon, IN)

We give God THANKS for the global connections that bring us TOGETHER as we participate with God in the restoration of Latin America by Developing Healthy Leaders, Multiplying Committed Disciples, and Empowering Transformational Churches.

Three Ways to Pray:

Prayer is central to the work of the Free Methodist Church in Latin America. Would you join us this week praying specifically in the following ways?

1)Praise God that the area is more united in mission and vision than ever. Pray that we will continue to be united as we seek God’s direction for the future.

2)Pray that God’s love, joy, peace and hope can pierce the darkness in Latin America and that members of the Free Methodist church can be faithful agents of God’s transformation this Christmas season and in the coming year.

3)Pray that God will provide new connections and strengthen current relationships with US partners and the Free Methodist Churches in Latin America so that we can TOGETHER continue to participate with God in the restoration of Latin America.

Global Connections:

This photo of a VISA team serving together in Uruguay in November 2022 represents four countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay and USA.

And the team from the US represents three states: Michigan, Indiana, and Washington!

When we serve, give, and pray together, our world gets smaller, our hearts grow bigger,

and our connections grow stronger!

Year End Giving Campaign

Latin America Strategic Initiatives Fund

We are grateful for you. Truly grateful! Your faithful prayers and generous giving to Country Church Planting and Development Funds (CPDs), Missionary Support Accounts (MSAs), and the many other Extra Mile Projects (EMPs), link us together as a team, shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart.

During this year-end giving campaign, we are praying that God will prompt the hearts of many to give to the Strategic Initiatives Fund. We are believing that God will provide the funds that are needed in Latin America just as we trust Him to provide for all the needs of His beloved children.
