It’s the start of spring, and missions here at SEAPC are gearing up in a big way. The global atmosphere is emerging with a fresh hunger and hope for days ahead. We, the people of God, stand in our strongest opportunity of influence ever. Unprecedented prayer took place in 2020, and this must continue. However, 2021 is a year to intentionally sow the Word that will heal and set the nations on a more sure foundation.
This month Friends Around the Table Americas will be taking place in Tapachula, Mexico. This will be the first of four regional Friends gatherings happening in 2021, and let me say that the spiritual hunger is stronger than I’ve ever seen in Central and South America.
We are primed and ready to meet that hunger head-on with an Attack Lambs training course—available for the first time in Spanish and online—in the works this spring! We are asking for focused prayer this month around the preparation, production, and distribution of this training across Central and South America. Friends America’s this month will serve as a catalyst, and we want to feed that fire quickly with empowerment in God’s Word.
There are such deep roots for this community in these regions. From Pastor Mark and Ellie Geppert launching into the nations in Guatemala, to supernaturally meeting Pastor Hector Zetino and his family while there. This propelled ministry throughout the region over 30 years ago and has also helped send pioneer missionaries like Carol Missik, a true heroine in the faith who went home to the Lord last year. Carol helped launch Operation Capital City which broke new ground in the nation by mobilizing city-wide prayer meetings in every capital of each state of Mexico. The roots are very deep, and another generation awaits to carry the torch side-by-side with faithful leaders from Spanish-speaking parts of the USA all the way to the shores of Chile.
At this moment, plans for recording the online Spanish Attack Lambs resources are happening in conjunction with Friends Around the Table and partners of SEAPC across the Spanish-speaking world. Many generations and hearts are working together to make this the best it can be. We thank you for standing in prayer and intercession for this to continue to move ahead without delay.
