GOD ACCOMPLISHED WHAT WAS PLANNED…AND MORE!

Dear GLO Newsletters,

Jesus began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. – Luke 8:1

Do you like to travel? I don’t, which is unfortunate because my role as the director of an international mission organization requires a lot of travel! The reason Jesus travelled about is the same reason we send missionaries today: people need to hear the Gospel where they are at.

Chile Update

In our last newsletter (Feb 2023) we mentioned that we would be travelling back to Chile for a mission forum. That took place in March and included the dedication of a new outreach/medical center in Valparaiso and the ordination of Marcelo Rivas! Also while in Chile, our hearts were filled with pride and joy to see the members of “Divine Providence” Lutheran church welcoming their new pastor, GLO missionary (from Venezuela) Adrian Ventura and his wife, Cruz Maria. Together, the ministry of evangelism, Word & Sacrament and worship continues in the city of Santiago.

The “blessing” of travel!

Jim travelled to British Guyana where he did orientation for the new GLO missionaries, Victor and Belen Rivas (from Guatemala). At the end of April, Jim and GLO partner missionary Dale Talsma (Nigeria) led a mission conference in Kenya, at the invitation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya.
