His plans vs HIS Plans
Natán grew up in a home that was filled with unhappy moments. Before he entered his teens he knew what his plans were. As soon as possible he would leave home, join the Sendero Luminoso (the terrorist group), return to his village and kill those who were causing great problems in his family. A young…
Church in Belgium: Forming Faith, Community and Mission
United World Mission’s core belief is about developing well trained, spiritually-formed leaders and to strengthen and multiply disciple making churches that proclaim and demonstrate the gospel. Here in Brussels, Belgium a church called The Well is doing just that. One area that they are concentrating on is mentoring and training new leaders in the church while…
The Unknown World of Other Religions
Colombia is an overwhelmingly Catholic country, and the Colombian evangelical church is overwhelmingly ex-Catholic. According to the Pew Research Center’s report “Religion in Latin America,” 74% of Colombian Protestants were raised Catholic, the highest of any country in the region. So, it’s unsurprising that the strategies that most churches use to reach their communities are…

First Worshipper
When “Lee” first joined us, he didn’t sing in public, couldn’t play an instrument, and knew nothing about music.

When we started the music leadership school (a.k.a. how to become a worship leader), people came in droves wanting to learn…
God’s Agenda Trumps Lesson Plans
There’s a song that says “Lord, change the world, and let it start with me.” That’s right…it starts in us first. Not only is this my heart’s desire, but it’s also the cry of each Latin American missionary that comes through Corrientes, a mentoring & equipping program in Ecuador that prepares Latin Americans to be…
Our New Life, Africa’s New Leaders
It has now been a full year since my wife Aladrian and I flew away from our home, family, church, friends, and our settled California lifestyle. We soon landed in Cape Town to begin the most challenging and incredible year of our lives! It has taken lots of adjusting for us to get grounded in…
The Love of Christ Surprises Ethnic and Racial Prejudices
When foreigners come to Africa for the first time, they are often surprised that racism exists, when everyone is black! But tribal identities are strong, so it’s not skin color that determines their opinion of other “races,” but ethnicity. Mali has been spared much of the deadly tribal conflict which exists in other parts of…
