How have I spent the last three days in Rwanda? Making sausage. The next email will give you another great story, (Here's some kids singing) but those stories are the when boots hit the ground. A lot of work goes into making those moments of God saving the lost, of lives restored, and of churches established. Here’s a quick view into that work.

The ministry is in a transitional phase. For years there were three organizations under the same proverbial roof:

· Evangecube
· Global Missions Fellowship (church-planting mission trips)
· GoLeaders (Leadership and church-planting training)

These were siloed, for the most part. Now they’re coming together to:

· Equip Leaders to
· Evangelize to
· Establish new churches.

But we’re integrating everything now. Yoseph, the man I profiled yesterday was instrumental in planting over 1,400 churches this year. That’s just one example. The Lord of the Harvest has used this ministry to plant a multitude of churches all over the world. While the Lord is the one who draws those to be saved to Him. And Jesus said, “I will build my church,” his instruments to complete the work are us fallen guys.

We don’t just show up in Rwanda or Bolivia or Romania and churches and disciples simply fall into our lap—although oddly enough, it feels like that. Behind the scenes there are meetings like the one happening this week where we:

· Plan
· Strategize
· Improve processes
· Hear amazing praise reports
· Talk and set budgets
· Tackle obstacles
· Let the iron sharpen the iron
· Make sausage.

This builds the foundation that allows the Lord to pour out His blessings. It has been tremendously encouraging to see and hear all the African national leaders, our man in the Middle East, and our Asia coordinator. Hear their praise reports, hear their concerns, their hearts and their visions.

Let me be your witness to this aspect of the ministry. These are all outstanding men of God. Spiritually deep, totally committed, professional (odd word, but it’s accurate), and full of God’s love.
