Earlier this week, it was a delight to sit in a meeting of two US church mission teams as they planned next steps in ministry to a little reached corner of South America. These churches are partnering together with a national church and two national ministries in that region to see the good news about Jesus go into a least-reached people group. The national church, located two hours from some villages of the people group, provides the ‘leading edge’ of the ministry, and the national ministries help with some resources. The US church teams provide equipping in foundational Bible teaching and church-planting strategy for these partners. As these churches and ministries partner together, I am reminded of Paul’s words to the believers at Corinth: “Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you..” (2 Cor. 10:15b-16a NIV)
