Once a friend told me that we should be like seals. They always have water up to their nose but keep clapping. Sometimes we might feel like drowning in a sea of challenges, problems, concerns, financial difficulties, health issues, inflation, lack of sleep, relationship issues, etc. All these could discourage us, but we need to make sure that no matter the circumstances we are going through, we need to be thankful.
This year, I had a few medical challenges with my foot surgery recovery, kidney stones, and being diagnosed as diabetic. People asked me how I don’t let these stop or discourage me, and I can only attribute it to God. He is my strength and has helped keep my focus and active in the ministries God has called us to do.
As we celebrate another Thanksgiving Day, we are very thankful for the faithful donations of hundreds of donors contributing to our 60-plus missionaries in 28 countries. This year we rejoice that we have surpassed one million dollars in donations. Only God has been able to do this, as I recall the day I went to the bank to open the account with only $200.00.
One of the things that I am most thankful for is our Latino Mobilizer program. It is amazing the response that we have received and the many leaders who are joining us. We have 43 leaders already appointed, and we are in the process of appointing 30 plus more. These Latinos have decided to fulfill the Great Commission and are going to other cultures to share the gospel. Many serve in countries that are closed to the gospel and have many restrictions in sharing the gospel.
I was hoping you could consider donating to the Latino Mobilizers Fund, which supports these faithful leaders whom many don’t have networks in the United States to raise their much-needed support.
Once again, thanks from the bottom of our hearts for keeping us in your prayers and supporting our ministries.
On a journey to empower leaders and transform communities, one life at a time.
Thessalonians 5:18
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Before choosing the type of leader you can read below what each one means.

These leaders from established organizations or ministries partner with us, but their own board supervises them. They can raise support through us, and their financial accounts are accessed five (5) percent administrative fee.
Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.
We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.
We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.
