We live and serve our King in Maipu, Santiago Chile with Iberoamerican Ministries (IAM).
We were invited to join the IAM team in February 2007 to help in the coordination and hosting of short term teams and for David to develop and manage an ongoing communications strategy for the entire mission organization.
As a family we assisted in the hosting and logistical coordination of the growing number of visiting teams serving on short-term missions trips in South America. These trips yoke together groups from the United States with the IAM pastors, missionaries, and their church bodies in the planting and development of churches, schools, community centers, and community service projects as well as community evangelism in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador.
As the Lord continues to bless the work of those serving with IAM in South America and the 10/40 Window, there was also a growing need to effectively share this good news and these compelling stories. This is what the Lord has prepared David to do.
David works alongside IAM pastors and missionaries to create and implement new communications strategies using print, multimedia, the internet, and the web. The goal is to bring the global story of IAM missions to the family of supporters that God has created as a foundation for His kingdom work throughout South America and into the 10/40 Window.
In January of 2011, after a year of prayer and planning, we hosted an Ambassadors In Sport futsal team from Sao Paulo, Brazil. After ministering with the group for 10 days we felt strongly called to begin an Ambassadors ministry in Chile with a goal of growing it throughout spanish speaking South America. With the blessing of IberoAmerican Ministries we officially began a partnership with Ambassdors and began our South American futbol ministry in April of 2011. Our responsibilities for team planning shifted to others within IAM and David will continue to focus on technology related issues for IAM and also assist Ambassadors in this area.
Please be in prayer for this work and for our family. We would also like to request that you lift up in prayer all of those who are obedient in fulfilling the Great Commission, in many different ways, all over this world.
