The church as the missionary. This is a concept I threw out on this blog recently and have mentioned several times in preaching. Go here to see my recent comments. Today, I threw this concept out to the approximately 150 pastors and leaders here in Mexico City with whom I have been ministering these past couple of days. Facial expressions revealed that some lights were going on as we discussed ways for all of us to partner together to engage the Latin American church more fully in making disciples on a global level.

This was the conclusion of our conference and I am looking forward to heading home tomorrow. We’ll be arriving at MCI a bit before 10:00pm tomorrow assuming that flights are on time.

Last week I told you here about a providential meeting outside the air terminal in Lima, Peru where we were able to get copies of the Directions book that has just come off the press in Argentina and will be out next week in Peru. I just got a photo to document this amazing event, and I thought I would share it with you.
