1 Multiplying leaders and churches Free Methodist World Missions

2 OUR CHALLENGE Latin America is young, secularized and postmodern. Many live in poverty. There is much ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity with widely divergent political ideologies. There is a growing spiritual and moral vacuum. 58 nations & territories 639 million people 84% live in cities the world s most urban region 23 countries with Free Methodist ministry Our Mission is to fuel and sustain a biblical movement to reach Latin America for Christ by developing leaders and planting churches.

3 OUR STRATEGY Community Church Planting (CCP) Most leaders have been trained on this Biblical model to make disciples and form new groups. A Latin American guidebook was recently produced and materials are available on a new website. Over 80 new house churches started in 2018 and we are already seeing third generation groups. Pastoral Formation A new Latin American curriculum was launched with manuals for 19 courses and a guidebook for the ordination process. The response has been really encouraging. With a clear vision, framework and game plan younger leaders are empowered. A multiplying movement has been launched.

4 THE NEED Funds are needed to fuel and sustain this movement International Missionaries $60,000 (see page 5) Underfunded Mission Districts $58,000 (see page 6) Community Church Planting (CCP) $62,000 (see page 7)

5 David & Yeya Lopez, Lima Peru $34,000 Missionaries from a creative access country, David and Yeya have launched a pioneering project in this strategic capital city. They are starting the 5th house church and have 15 leaders in training. INTERNATIONAL MISSIONARIES $60,000 Hiuberth & Sandra Zapata, Managua Nicaragua $18,000 Moving from Costa Rica, Hiuberth and Sandra arrived just as Nicaragua erupted in political violence. Our churches have responded to the challenge: 60 leaders are being trained in CCP and 20 house churches have started. Eunice Alvarez, Quito Ecuador $8,000 Currently on home assignment in Mexico after 4 years of very effective ministry in Ecuador, Eunice will return to focus on training pastors.

6 Latin America Where Needed Most Fund $12,000 This fund channels resources to country budgets and strategic projects where needed most to sustain the movement of multiplying churches and leaders. UNDERFUNDED MISSION DISTRICTS $58,000 Colombia $20,000 Three established churches are simultaneously planting eight more. This fruitful district needs partners to fuel their momentum. Costa Rica $15,000 Three young elders were ordained in 2018, each trained and committed to multiplying other pastors and churches. This district needs funds to resource a new day. Peru $5,000 A younger leader, Pastor Geovanna Chavez begins serving as district director in January She needs travel funds to visit the widely scattered churches and mentor new leaders. Nicaragua $6,000 A remarkable turnaround with significant new growth, this district in the second poorest country of the hemisphere needs only minimal additional funds to move forward.

7 COMMUNITY CHURCH PLANTING (CCP) $62,000 John Jairo Leal Area CCP Coordinator, John Jairo Leal $33,000 A visionary leader with a fruitful track record, Pastor John has led a CCP pilot project and developed the manual being used all over Latin America. $33,000 will cover fair full time compensation and a travel budget to free him to train and coach others throughout the Area. Seed Funds for new CCP Projects $20,000 The community church planting model works. Once of its core principles is the resources are in the harvest. Without creating dependency or long-term subsidies minimal grants are needed to get new projects up and running. This will pay great Kingdom dividends. Regional Facilitator from a limited access country $9,000 God is using a wise and seasoned leader to coach and mentor others. A stipend will enable him to feed his family and continue multiplying leaders and churches throughout his region.
