“Ever since I got involved in missions 25 years ago it’s been on my heart to see more Latins serving in cross-cultural fields. After coordinating and assisting in 5 mission training programs, and facing many challenges and hurdles to see our trainees serving in those fields, often the question arise, why keep training Venezuelans if it is such an ordeal for them to raise support or why do we continue to invest our efforts in a few?

It’s been a humbling experience to train workers in Venezuela and to rely completely on God to make a way for them to the fields, and my answer is quite simple, God is working in us Resilience.

To continue challenging the local church when missions is not its priority.
