One of my friends in Barquisimeto works with the missions department for a major denomination in Venezuela. Each time we get together, whether it’s here in Panama or there in Venezuela, we always “put on my coaching hat” and I get to help him as coach.
This trip was no different.
We spent several hours one afternoon talking about his upcoming appointment as pastor in a mountain community and brainstormed ways he could lead his new church in the work of community development while proclaiming the gospel.
The Lord gave me a great time to be with this young man and his family as they seek to make a difference in this new community.
In his role with the missions department, he’s inviting me to be their plenary speaker at their annual event in August of 2012. About 200 teenagers will gather for a time of intensive study about missions and evangelism. Pray that this will come to pass.
Later on in the same week, he got to minister to me as I shared with him about our work in Panama and Latin America.
