EMI · A shared regional call

A vision for
Latin America

One spiritual family, moving together to establish lasting expressions of the Kingdom of God.

“Go and make disciples of all nations.”

KINGDOM
& FAMILY
Matthew 28:18–2001 / The vision
01 · Begin with the commission

Jesus sends a people—
not a program.

Go. Make disciples of the nations. Baptize. Teach them to live what I commanded.

Matthew 28:18–20 is the foundation: all authority belongs to Jesus, and His presence goes with those He sends.

The biblical foundation02 / The commission
02 · What God desires to establish

Every people.
Part of the family.

The vision is God’s Kingdom and family established among every ethnos—every nation, people, and people group.

THE VISION · WHAT

To see God’s Kingdom and family established among every people group in Latin America.

THE MISSION · HOW

A regional spiritual family works together—discipling, serving, raising leaders, and establishing lasting works.

Local assignments remain meaningful; they become part of the larger vision rather than competing with it.

Shared direction · distinct assignments04 / The distinction
04 · Corporate responsibility

Not “Who else will do it?”
But “What can we carry?”

The mandate belongs to a company of people. Each person has an assignment; together, the family takes responsibility.

Is the family advancing—and is the vision continuing as a family vision?

From isolated effort to shared ownership05 / One company
05 · Many gifts, one mission

Kingdom culture
takes practical form.

The mission is more than a preached message. The family serves through the real gifts and resources God has placed among its people.

06 · Generations moving together

Pass the work forward
before the handoff.

Emerging leaders need real connection with mature leaders—wisdom, affirmation, coaching, and room to serve while the relationship is alive.

MOSES → JOSHUA

Preparation and affirmation helped the people recognize what Joshua was to carry forward.

DAVID → SOLOMON

Public support and practical preparation gave a younger leader a place to function.

Continuity, not starting over07 / Develop the next generation
07 · Regional ownership
Together,

each region carries its part.

Regional families should take responsibility for their own fields—building momentum and relationships locally, not depending on one leader to carry the whole world.

08 · Cross-pollination in practice

Let good work travel.

A fruitful ministry in one nation can become a gift to the wider family—adapted thoughtfully to another place’s needs and realities.

VENEZUELA · MEDICAL WORK

Explore whether approaches, teams, and practical care could serve other places where relationships and local conditions make it possible.

ACROSS THE REGION

Share ministry strategies, professional abilities, business connections, education, and other resources—not as a copy-paste, but as service fitted to each place.

Adapt with local relationships & understanding09 / Share what serves
09 · The mission is to establish

More than a visit.
A work that remains.

Evangelism is essential—but not the end point. The call is to build relationships, disciple people, develop leaders, and establish spiritual families and sustainable works.

GO WHERE THE FOUNDATION IS NEEDED

Look beyond familiar structures: new relationships, new believers, new leaders, and places where a work can begin.

BUILD FOR CONTINUITY

Stay committed. Equip local people. Develop roots and resources that can keep growing after the first team leaves.

A pioneering pattern is reflected in Romans 15:20.

Long-term presence · sustainable roots10 / Establish
10 · Start with a few clear priorities

Align. Connect. Pray.
Then move together.

01 · ALIGN

Build one shared understanding of the vision—and help leaders embrace it.

02 · CONNECT

Strengthen regional relationships, including Chiapas and San Luis.

03 · PRAY

Establish shared regional prayer as an early, practical step.

04 · SHARE

Exchange strategies, people, gifts, and resources across the family.

Strengthen existing open doors, including Chile, and begin with a manageable set of next steps.

11 · The longer horizon

A gathering that
becomes a family
in motion.

The Latin American Family Gathering can catalyze alignment, relationships, prayer, leadership development, collaboration, outreach, and the next generation.
