We wanted to share with you an update on how our missionaries have been doing as they and their families carry on their faithful work in the field. We love and appreciate these people very much and God bless you for supporting them!
Mitch and Michelle Arbelaez and family- Go To Nations
Our dream of mobilizing the Latin American Church to reach the Unreached nations received a great infusion this past year as I prepared for and conducted our first Latin American Train-the-trainer workshop. This past September, 28 pastors and leaders gathered to learn how to conduct our church missions mobilization workshop Senda Global that we have been teaching around the world. We are looking forward to seeing these 28 new mobilizers work all over Latin America mobilizing the church to reach the Unreached! Praise God! We cannot thank you enough for all your partnership with us. These new mobilizers are products of you as you faithfully partner with us.
Pastora Luz Esther Cadiz has been working with us for years helping promote and facilitate Senda Global workshops all over the island. Leading her own mission agency she will now be moving over to The Dominican Republic to continue mobilizing with us and Senda Global.
Cape Town South Africa was truly a great experience this past October. Touring District 8 and Robben Island was a strong education in apartheid atrocities. Standing on the furtherest SW point of Africa and on top (hand standing) of Table Mountain were all magnificent.

The work at KU campus is great and moving forward. God is blessing it and we’re excited for the future!
Nicolas & Leia Girard and family -Zoe Center, Italy
A few nights before Christmas, we decided to go out and bless a few prostitutes with some gifts, Christian DVD’s, and Bibles, but most of all with unconditional love. I (Leia) went out with a sister in the Lord, and we talked with around 10 women. It was my first time to meet an older Italian woman. She came by the car when we pulled up and said to us, “I don’t know who you are or what you are doing, but you are angels.” She recognized the light in our eyes and didn’t know how else to say it, but that we were ‘angelic.’ Though I know that we are not angels, the love of Jesus is seen in our eyes and actions to these women, and each girl is so thankful to have someone here in town they can call ‘friend’ and call for help.
Austin & Naomi Smith and family -Called to Greatness@ UMKC
We had an incredible day back on campus reconnecting with students. One group we met happened to be friends of our Chilean student, Andres. They have been here one week and have heard a lot about us from Andres. We are looking forward to seeing what God will do next.
We feel so empowered with you as our partner. Thank you for standing with us while we are out there on campus.
