It’s fall and the leaves are beautiful in St. Louis. The St. Louis Cardinals are world champs and God continues to open doors for Co:Mission Ministry. Life is good! We are thankful that the opportunities to stand before God’s people and share God’s heart for the world keep coming. The global strategy God has given us continues to stir believers as the army of great commission partners keeps growing.
God also continues to open up new opportunities around the world. Knowing we can’t go everywhere we are selecting those places that have strong leadership, great openness to the Gospel and little or no Gospel presence. Two exciting new areas He has opened up for us to harvest souls is the Amazon Basin of Brazil and Kenya, Africa.
When the former International Mission Board President, Dr Jerry Rankin, was asked what the most fertile harvest field in the world was? His answer was the Amazon Basin of Brazil. At present there are no missionaries working this area of over fifty thousand tribes. Only a few ministries like Co:Mission are laboring in this huge harvest field. God is creating a partnership that will join this ministry to key leaders in the region. Together we believe we will see thousands come to Christ this year.
We have also been praying for an opportunity to get to Africa. Several opportunities came up but none seemed right. However, recently Joan and I were able to meet with a strategic leader and his wife from Kenya named Pastor Titus and Rose. Titus has a network of thirty leaders with whom he would like to plant churches. He shared with us that he needs the strategy, energy and focus of sharing the Gospel that Co:Mission can provide. We are very excited about building a long term relationship whereby we can reach tens of thousands for Christ and plant hundreds of churches over the next several years.
We continue to be amazed at the faithfulness of our God. Thank you so much for your prayers. We are convinced God is only opening these doors and building these partnerships through the prayers of His people. Please continue to pray as we dedicate November and December to raising the financial resources needed to fulfill this God honoring vision.
Until the Nations Hear,
Mark and Joan
