In less than 24 hours, we are heading to the Campus Outreach Latin America Network Conference from Oct 24-30th. A total of 96 people, including staff from our four Latin American ministry teams, staff from CO SERVE, pastors, spouses, and children, will gather in Monterrey, Mexico!
Every few years, geographically connected CO teams come together to encourage one another, discuss, reflect, and consider how to continue to share the gospel in their specific context. Our Latin American teams in Mexico, Peru, and Brazil will come together for only the second time ever. Our theme this year is "Juntos", which is both Spanish and Portuguese for "together". Juntos is in the plural form, showing how we are coming together for a shared unity in Christ.
I have been helping develop the graphics and communications for the conference and will be diving into the sessions and interacting with as many field staff as possible during the next week. An amazing opportunity that the Lord has brought together is that Tathiana, Isaac, and Sara will also join the Conference as coordinators (and helpers) for the kids' program, so that staff families can participate in all the sessions. She has been working hard to prepare and recruit helpers.
Please pray for our time with these staff and teams; that they will be refreshed in their vision for God’s Kingdom, encouraged through time together, and inspired as they learn from one another’s ministries. This moment will allow them to share openly about the challenges they face and find strength in knowing they are not alone as they serve in similar cultural contexts.
Please pray for our time in Monterrey and for the teams joining us (team pics below)!
