• Latin American
• North American.

I travel back and forth frequently, and am often amazed to the point of incredulity with some of the questions my North American friends ask me.

• “Do you have indoor plumbing?”
• “I didn’t know there were skyscrapers there . . “
• “Do you eat chicken?”

For those that perhaps have never traveled internationally, or don’t even know what a missionary does, the common perception is that we live in a thatch hut in the jungle with nearby indigenous peoples who don’t wear clothes.  I have to show people photos of my city to show them that I live in a city like Miami, and yes I have indoor plumbling.

I have taught in churches that do not have such plumbing.  One doesn’t need to go to far outside the city to encounter indigenous tribes and the general need for indoor plumbing.  My trip to the Darien province assured me of this.

But sometimes, I’m caught with asking questions that stretch my worldview and my experience.

We wanted to take a bible institute course to a corner of this country, accessible only by plane.  No cell phone coverage.  In fact, no electricity.

In planning the development of the Bible Institute, we had to ask the question of literacy, and knowledge of written and spoken Spanish.

For those who work frontier missions, this may be a standard operating question.

But this one was a new one for me. Yet it is one that needed to be ask.

At the moment, we’ve put this development on hold.  We are still in the interest gathering stage.  We don’t know if it will materialize, but we’ll keep it in the hopper as the Lord permits.

According to the pastor, this suburb has over 63,000 residents, only 3% of which are professing Christians.  I’m told there are approximately 45 churches trying to serve this residential area, with most memberships under 100 people.  This suggests an large unreached population.

The church itself is on a main road.  It is a one room structure with a metal roof, and thus it gets very hot inside when the sun is out, or very impossible to hear when it rains.

The walls are made of whatever material can be found.  Picture is the block wall.  The back wall is unfinished wood planks, or 1/4 plywood on some battens.  Other times it’s tin.

We attend a prayer meeting on a Saturday morning in this structure to help plan the event in November.

Instead of a Sunday morning time, when the sun would overheat the building, the workshop will be on a Thursday evening after working hours.  This will present a logistical challenge for our team to get there on a school night, in the dark, and without a car.

Pastor leads up a pastors association and his dream is to have several churches squeezed into this little one room church for an evangelism workshop.

Yes, that is a stake holding a piece of plywood in place.

We had rented a car for the weekend to make sure we were able to get out there.  Even with a car, it was still about 45 minutes from where we live.  I can’t imagine the bus trip during rush hour traffic.

The community needs are so great (one block away is a intersection that at least 3 gangs fight for control over – it’s the border between them all).  Crime is a concern being the “gringo” in a poor neighborhood after dark.

The lack of resources is clearly visible in the structure of the church, as well as a little thank you gift we received: a bag of lemons from the tree in the back yard.

Pray for this little church, the workshop, and the logistics of how we will get there.

Once again, the 6 hour red-eye bus ride, a brief stay for rest at a friends house, followed, by the 90 minute bus-ride to the border town.

Pictured to the above is the actual border crossing.

We took a small bus to get up there.  I took some video of the jam-packed overcrowded bus on the way home, but the lighting was off and it didn’t work.

A small group had gathered in a very small, blue painted room, one of the few tiled areas in this structure.  They were patient with my Spanish as we talked about church planting and a biblical theology of missions.

Did I really do that?

This time, my host was the director of the school I am teaching, and he shared with me several testimonies of how our evangelism training is being used.

This group is working particularly with Muslims who are seeking Christ.  I am not an expert in this kind of evangelism, yet they are taking the principles of our teaching and applying it in their context.

Another group is applying the teaching on evangelism to how they are wanting to reach indigenous tribes accessible only by boat.

Yet another group is applying the principles to reach out to others in their neighborhood and I heard reports of new believers because of those outreaches.

I’m not an expert in any of these fields in particular, but it demonstrates how people take the training we provide and run with it in their given context.

That leaves me in awe of how God is taking this work further than we could ask or imagine.

The troubles of travel

The bus home was overcrowded and very uncomfortable 90 minute ride back from the border to the terminal.

The second bus was not entirely clean, had broken seats, and the suspension system so overworked that the 6.5 hour trip home felt like we were driving on a gravel road.

My body couldn’t relax, as it was constant jolted from the bus’s reaction to the ruts in the road, or thrown from side to side as it rounded curves.  The air conditioner was so high, that with even a sweater and a hat on, I was cold.  Sleep unfortunately was not an option.

14 hours of bus travel round trip for a 3 hour class.

Is it worth it?

The answer is still yes.

That’ll become clear when a house church gets launched among new converts out there.

I got this email this morning from the elder pictured:

bendiciones hermano,

estamos bien, estamos practicando algo de sus enzeñanzas aca en la iglesia y el pastor esta muy feliz.

formamos el equipo de interseccion y iniciamos el domingo con cuatro hermanos.

Translated into English, this says

Blessings brother,

We are well, we are practicing something of your teachings there in our church and our pastor is very happy [about it]

We are forming a team of intercessors and are beginning this Sunday with 4 brothers.

I spoke on developing a team for your apostolic work — that of planting churches.  Yet some of the principles are just as valid for ongoing church work — particularly having a team of personal intercessors for the pastor.

I spoke of the value of our intercessors, and the value of a team praying for us personally and this elder took it to heart and back to his church.  I’m hoping to preach in this church next time I am in his village — a date potentially scheduled in October of 2009.

As I was leaving the last day, the pastor pulled me aside and said something like:

Pastor Walker, your teaching Saturday [on teamwork in church planting] really impacted me.

There was a moment when the Holy Spirit came upon us and called us into a deep time of prayer — to call the church into cooperating with God’s spirit.  That was a powerful moment for me, and I believe, for our church.  Powerful.

We’ve just launched a new church that is not 4 months old and already we are beginning to think about how we can get you back out here to help us nurture that church along.

The host church has a particular vision to work with the marginalized and the poor.  They dream of purchasing the land around them to setup halfway houses.

While waiting on their dream, they have also planted another church that is drawing young people from some of the dangerous areas of the city.

It is led by a young pastor in his early 20s, who served as our worship leader and conference organizer (pictured to the Right, one of the sons of the pastors).

The Holy Spirit gives a vision

During that same teaching and call to prayer, we moved into a time of prayer for Panama, crying out to God for his favor and abundance.  It was a kairos moment that snuck up on us.  I was simply teaching and when wrapping up, we closed the time in prayer.

It wasn’t just an ordinary ending prayer.  The Holy Spirit called us forth to engage in deep prayer for the needs of the community, protection for the church plant, as well as a time for the nation.

While the Lord did other work through the other presenters, it was this moment people reflected back to me as to what they remember of my teaching.  This was a powerful moment.  Those of you who know what it’s like to be called into intercession know the power of this calling and the intensity of this moment.

One elder, from a province about 6 hours away, received a vision in full color.  He never had a vision before, so he pulled me aside to talk with me about it.  It was awesome to help this Christian brother discern what God was saying in this vision.

This same elder also felt called to join our intercessory team.

The Host Church

The church itself is in a community of only about 500 people.  Pastor tells me that their biggest challenge in evangelism in their community is two fold:

• Drunk men — men who spend their entire paycheck in a weekend to get wasted.
• Overcoming a church scandal more than 12 years ago.

In a community that small with a stable population, the church had a reputation that was harmed, and people remember.  This church has wrestled with how to overcome that, by serving the neighborhood in pratical ways, praying, fasting.  Led by Pastora Diana Maxwell (pictured) and her husband Lester.

From different places

They gathered from several provinces (like states in the US) to spend the weekend receiving teaching on Missions and Evangelism.  Having lived here for two years, I know and understand the sacrifice it takes for people to give up their weekends, spend money, and travel great distances by public transportation.  The logistical challenge to overcome to get here reflects the demand for this information.  When you want something, you do something.

Themes and Presenters

I was joined by Pastor Joshua Sándigo (Phoenix Arizona), Doctor Amilkar Kraudi (Nicaragua) and Lester and Diana Maxwell (Colon, Panama).

A. Evangelism in the 21^st Century:

To learn what is evangelism in the 21^st Century and how to be effective winning souls for the kingdom and to know some methods of how to evangelize this new generation and different cultures.

B.  A strategic team for the expansion of the Kingdom of God.

“One is too small to pretend to do great things.”  What can a pastor or leader discover about how to equip a strategic team for the expansion of the vision the God has given them.  How to develop effective teamwork in planting churches, to develop a sound team for your ministry, business, or organization.

I shared the stage with

• A Honduran who distributes paint.
• A Costa Rican accountant
• A Panama business consultant.

All four of us spent a few hours talking about micro enterprise and how that can fund mission.

The Honduran gentleman is a pastor who is planting a church here in the city.  His business generates enough revenue and is managed by employees that he is capable of having his financial needs met here in Panama.

The accountant from Costa Rica has a professional practice that gives him enough time to freely give workshops on ministering to the physically disabled (a huge need in Latin america).

The business consultant has specialized knowledge in human resources that he’s able to work and still do ministry.

I speak for a living and sell information on-line, which partly enables our work here.  We are not yet self-supporting, but have several donors who give to us on a monthly basis to advance our work here.  The US has a developed ministry partnership concept that uses support raising.  This concept is not widely practiced or accepted here (from my limited point of view).

This session was recorded and being distributed by DVD around the country to inspire potential missionaries to think how they might fund their own work by monetizing their skills and passions.

I think more and more missionaries, particularly from developing nations like Panama, will need to think in terms of creating wealth through business, rather than relying on the shared resource system that has developed in the US.

The idea of missionary support, as practiced in the United States, is just not a common practice and in some ways may me against the cultural grain.  To fund the work of missions at this point in history needs another way, and thus we spent time thinking along these lines.

What is your skill or trade?

How can you use it to generate money?

How can you get paid to do what you love?

Ask yourself: “What specialized knowledge or skill that I have that people will gladly pay me for?”  It could be a product, photos, information, arts, cooking skills, or even ideas.

It is our hope that the DVD will inspire small business, that would generate funds for global missions.

When I think of some of the challenges that we face, I have to ask the question – is it worth it?

Is it Worth it?

Is it worth it, living by faith on surprise support in the mail box?

Is it worth it,  the embarrassment when our new friends are reflexively astonished when they discover that we don’t have a car, and then try to hide their astonishment?

Is it worth it, the sense of gratitude when people pity us and give us a ride or pay for our movie tickets?

Is it worth it, learning a second language and mess it up while trying to communicate God’s grace?

Is it worth it, walking away from a six-figure income to help Latin American pastors equip their church to do the work of evangelism?

Is it worth it, being eaten by mosquitoes, using outhouses, frigid cold showers, and sleeping in uncomfortable beds to help ignite small churches in Panama and help pastors reach poor people?

Is it worth a 14 hour frigid and uncomfortable bus trip to teach pastors for 3 hours on evangelism during a torrential downpour where I have to shout to be heard, and encourage them in their ministry?

Yes.

The grace of God has captured me.  It has transformed my life.

Going to Paso Canoas

24 hours after returning from Guatemala, I got on a bus and made the 7 hour trek to the border of Costa Rica.  Those buses are very cold with cranked air conditioners.  Trying to sleep is a near impossibility without assistance from Benadryl.

Not to mention the two “wake up the entire bus” stops on the way for a bathroom break and then a passport check out in the middle of nowhere.

As we get closer to the destination, beginning about 4am, this express bus starts dropping people off and picking people up, changing the pitch of the engine white noise and putting the lights on in the cabin.

When I arrive at the border, I’m wiped out.  We check into a hotel for the day at $10, a little tourist hotel that has no comparison to the US.  That price included a floor fan and a TV.  I don’t worry about the TV and fall asleep fast, my discomfort is of no import, just finally horizontal to sleep.

I wake up with splitting sinus headache.

Since we’ve walked into Costa Rica, I’m out of place not knowing where anything is, or even how to convert my currency to get a bottle of water.  My host is with me, so we find someT bottled water, have a little lunch, and then go to the church to give the class for the day.

I’m at the International Prayer Center in Paso Canoas, Costa Rica.

The church is in the process of remodeling.  Half the roof is missing, which becomes painfully obvious a few hours later during a torrential thunderstorm.  Here, most churches don’t go into debt to fund remodeling.  They just live with incomplete projects until they raise enough money to tackle the next part.

A class 13-14 people gather here on monthly basis for the mission institute that I teach for here in Panama.  They pray for my headache to be gone, which it does.  We meet in a little covered classroom off to the side of the sanctuary.  Gratefully, a floor fan is located for me so I that I can stay somewhat cool.

After some introductions, we walk through some discussion questions.

What is Evangelism?

“Go and speak the good news to those who haven’t heard.”

“Go and bring people to church, give them information about salvation.”

“Sow the seed of the love of Christ.”

Why is Evangelism Difficult?

These answers roll of the tongue pretty quickly.  When we move to challenges to evangelism – the answers roll out even faster.

What right do I have to call people to repentance?

They don’t listen to me.

I don’t know WHAT I can say?

What are the challenges in the church?

Notice I didn’t ask them about their church, but the church in general.  People are more apt to speak of their difficulties if it’s more collective.

People are comforatble with their own church.

Lack of knowledge and passion.

Lack of training.

Compartmentialized only to gifted evangelists.

Full Time evangelists don’t have enough economic support.

No cooperation with the Holy Spirit.

These things are a little harder to get out, but once they start talking, it flows well.

What is the fruit of evangelism?

I wanted to probe to see what is the goal for evangelism.  The answers were

Repentance

A prayer.

Genuine Repentance.

This intrigued me as non of the answers spoke of the beginning of a discipleship process or any kind of conection to the local church.  We covered this discussion for a while, and talked about the relational value of intentional small groups to help connect people.

I described a feature of Latin American evangelism that I have observed – call for a decision, but no or little effort to connect to a church.  While everyone agreed with that observation, there wasn’t much more discussion about it.

What are the means of evangelism?

I was surprised by the answers of this group – it was all program driven and non-relational

By children

Tracts and door to door

Street Evangelism in the parks.

Leadership classes to train people in confrontational evangelism

Meeting social needs by medical clinics, food panties, tutoring.

In these answers, which are all good, what is missing is 1-1 relational evangelism in the course of ordinary life.

This answer caught be my surprise, and as I’ve been talking with many different pastors these last few months, I’m not off base in my observation – this suggests a need for personal evangelism training that is not a program, but a part of ordinary life – raising awareness of such opportunities.

The Lecture

Eventually, I moved into my lecture, but was drowned out by a slamming rainstorm that reverberated off the steel roof.  I had to shout to be heard, and felt my voice beginning to give out.  Though my headache had left, my strength was still not 100% having not slept well and just returned from 7 days in Guatemala.

We finished up, and discovered we had just missed the 6.30pm bus back to Panama City.  We had to wait around for the next available direct bus which put us back home at 5:00am, right where I had left at 10pm two nights before.  30 hours after my departure, I was back home.

Vale la pena

Was it worth a 30 hour round trip to teach a group of 13 church leaders, in Spanish, for just 3 hours, and spending $50 in expenses?

In terms of a use of time – likely not.  There are probably better ways.

But in terms of being available to these pastors and to motivate their work for the kingdom of God where they are – you bet.

I’ll be visiting them again 3 more times this year, and will seek to fill out the weekend with some additional preaching to use more time out there.

Yes, it’s worth it.  This is the center of our calling and that’s while we are pushing through the challenges we face.

“I want to thank you for being a part of what God is doing here at our church.

The work of raising awareness of missions is not easy in our country.  We are glad to have met you, and as we are all co-laborers in the kingdom of God we want to work with you in the future.

We believe that God has brought you here to help us, and God permitting, let’s work together to use each others strengths to advance God’s work here in Panama and around the world.

We know that in God’s sovereignty, He’s permitted us to work together for His glory and I look forward to how we can help each other in the future.”

Mario Vásquez
Missions Pastor
Casa de Oración, Panama

This is the general gist of what Pastor Mario said after the second day of the missions congress at Casa de Oración Cristiana, Panama on August 29, 2009

I was invited to be part of a team of expositors from

• Costa Rica
• United States
• El Salvador
• Panama
• Honduras

to share specifically on the Role/Work of Youth through the Bible, history, and now in world missions.  That was such a big theme to cover in 75 minutes.  I had approximately 60-70 people attend my workshop.

Other workshops focused on the work of missions, working with handicapped, working with the youth, and working as business owners to generate funds for missions.

As a four day event, this missions congress was wonderfully organized with an international collection of speakers.  The church streams its services live over the Internet and as I write this, I’m listening to one of the plenary speakers wrap up the congress by speaking of global missions through the book of Jonah.

One of the challenges to global missions in Panama is a common phrase: “We need to reach Panama first.”

But one of our speakers called out this excuse and exposed it for what it is:

“What if our North American friends waited to reach the US before coming to Panama to bring us the good news?

What if our European friends waited to reach their own country before coming to Panama?

We’d still be lost in our sins, waiting to hear the good news from somewhere.  Those missionaries who came to us from Europe and the Americas didn’t hide behind the excuse that they needed to reach their own country first. . . .

Neither can we hide.  If we are called to global missions, we need to go!”

The Foursquare denomination chose Panama as it’s first mission field in the early part of the 1900s.  Methodists, Church of God, Assemblies of God, Baptists all came along as well, bringing the gospel message.

Panama owes a lot of its Christian heritage in the last 100 years to missionaries who came from other countries and were willing to learn it’s language and communicate the outrageous grace of God.

Tuesday

Pastors began to arrive and we gathered for lunch.

We shared the teaching time with another speaker, but various circumstances prevented us from actually networking with him.

Pastors, elders, and seminary students, along with some of the wives gathered at the camp.

We met Ana (pictured in the blue blouse), who arrived just before our 4.00 session.

Chris began and spoke on the topic of who is the Holy Spirit and the four works of the Spirit as a foundational review.

In response to prayer with our intercessors, we were led to specifically talk about how presbyterian we were.

So we included time about my ordination, and some of my journey to faith.  We talked about the extremes between ignoring the Holy Spirit, and overempahsizing the Spirit and it’s resultant emotionalism.

We concluded on time.  I had them break into 3s for prayer, to leave burdens home and then generally pray for openness to what God wanted to do.

During our team meeting that night (Ana had to go home), we discerned there was some defensiveness in the audience.  We knew that we were not going to be on the same tract as the main speaker.

We prayed that God would give us wisdom to think on our feet, that minds would stay open, and we prayed through our teaching plan for the next day.

Wednesday

Sam led off with our foundational teaching on kairos moments – what are they and how do they work.

This moment of cooperation is foundational to understanding how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and how to experience the working of the Spiritual Gifts.

This was good basic reformed theology, though we could tell that the idea of cooperating with God in working in the kingdom still stirred up some defensiveness.

Do we have the privilege of cooperating with God?  Aren’t our works already an expression of what God is doing?

For some, this teaching presented theological challenges.

We took a break and then Chris moved into the function/vocational gifts teaching.

Again, we stressed how Presbyterian we were and helped connect examples of how these gifts might often be used already by our audience.  Some were skeptical, but polite.

As a group, they didn’t talk much.  They weren’t responsive with Q&A or when we asked them questions.  We were not sure how to read or interpret that.  Later we figured out that people would corner us 1-1 to ask their questions in private.  We saw a lot of spiritual thirst for this information.

The idea of cooperating with the Holy Spirit was a stretch for some of them, and there remained some confusion of the Spirit within/upon distinction that is foundational to the entire Dunamis series.  The questions that were asked turned out to be along those lines.

Wedneday afternoon – powerful prayer ministry.

The other speaker used 30 minutes of our time, so we lost some time to teach.

Sam continued to talked about the manifestational gifts and being filled with the Holy Spirit, then we moved into a time of prayer.  It appeared that those who were not open to the idea of the ongoing gifts left the room.  Those who couldn’t accept the reality of what we were teaching politely left and went outside.  That helped narrow down the group to those who were really hungering and thirsting for the work of the Spirit.

People were encouraged to break into groups, pray for each other, and then we broke up into teams for people who wanted prayer for the filling of the Spirit.

Sam and I were a team, Ana and Ben served as a team.

For some, this was a powerful ministry time.

• At least two physical healings were given testimony with evidence continuing the next day.
• One rested in the spirit (who had only been a new convert for 6 months).  We talked with her later and she described her experience as falling into a deep sleep and loosing all awareness.
• Others sought out prayer for emotional healing, which we had to postpone until later in the evening.

Unfortunately the prayer time was cut off by announcements and dinner break.  There was no time to debrief, and some who wanted prayer didn’t get it.

I wish I could share all that God did that afternoon, but those are just samples.  As people talked with us over the next 24 hours, this seemed to be a turning point in the conference.

Our ministry style is not noisy or flashy, nor full of excess emotionalism.

We were simply Presbyterian pastors who are willing to take the risk to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in kingdom work.

We tried to keep our teaching as “down to earth” as possible, as well as our personalities and behavior — being ourselves; we were not some North American superstars with TV ministries that need money.

Dinner and Evening Ministry

Over dinner, I had a brief talk with Yenner, about the spiritual history of the Presbyterian Church of Guatemala and the presbytery.

The presbytery at one point had split because of the charismata, and churches were loosing converts to the pentecostal / neo-pentecostal groups.  Outsiders were labeling the Presbyterian Church “dead” because many are missing the “avivimiento” (maybe a liveliness or spirit-filled expressiveness).  New converts would leave after discovering that other churches had more passion in their worship services.

After dinner, I took the last plenary session of Wednesday night.  The final plenary of the day.  Physical exhaustion was clear.  People were tired of information.

I used some of the time to clearly debrief the experiences before dinner and walk through the 4 tests of discernment that PRMI uses.

I felt led at the moment to describe how I became a Presbyterian pastor, and how I came under the authority of the word of God.

A lady who experienced a physical healing offered to let us use her as a case study and the 4 discernment tests.  This modeled how we could follow the tests of discernment, and keep the prayer times non-emotional.

I’m not sure how well the last teaching connected with people, they were just soooo tired.

It focused on How Does the Holy Spirit talk to us?  We looked at examples from Scriptures as we explored some of the mechanics of  HOW we might hear God’s voice.

We had another time of prayer ministry and got to do some 1-1 prayer ministry out of that.

In the case with Sam and I, we dealt with two men for some inner healing and some deep issues of forgiveness.  Some good emotional healing.  I simply served as as translator.  Sam threw me for a loop with some word choices I couldn’t translate, and I simply tried my best to explain it rather than translate it.

Ben and Ana did some prayer counseling for a young woman who received some emotional, but incomplete, healing.  The evidence was very clear the next day as we checked in with people.

Thursday, our last day.

We were scheduled to have about 1 hour of time, but the other expositor used not only his time, but all of ours .

So we didn’t have a chance to wrap anything up or debrief.

The camp schedule had some tourism time built into it before lunch, so we went to the shore of lake Amatitlan.  Unfortunately, the lake is polluted and nutrient imbalanced, so algae slime was really thick.  What was a pristine lake a few decades ago has now been ruined.  Efforts are underway to restore it, but it will take a few decades for sure.

We used the time to speak with a few of the conference participants about what the event meant for them.

One man in particiular gave us some of Guatemala history, particularly about it’s relationship with neighboring Belize, which he said a former president sold to the UK.  In ‘74, Guatemala raised an army to invade Belize in an attempt to recapture it as Guatemalan territory, but a major earthquake destroyed Guatemala City and all efforts moved to relief rather than invasion.

After lunch, we traded some goodbyes and had some processing time as a team.  Praying about next steps and what should follow.

Finally, we went home on Friday on safe and uneventful flights.
