Every Nation in Our Own Backyard

The Lord has planned that people from every tribe, tongue, and nation will be in His forever family. God uses some amazing avenues to accomplish this and we are so blessed to be part of one right here in the US!


One of our outstanding volunteers, Rebecca Faubion, has had a connection to a growing Hispanic church in the El Toro area of California. This church is unusual in that it is not just populated by people from our neighbor to the south, Mexico, but people from Colombia, Nicaragua, and other countries all over Latin America. Rebecca and Krysten Norkaitis, our Regional Director for Latin America, have responded to a request from this church to teach their children’s workers how to effectively reach their increasing numbers of children. It was easy to say, “Yes!” to the need and the training is taking place right now!!! God has made it even more interesting by making it possible for our EGM-Mexico leadership development team to travel to the U.S. to lead a portion of the training, making it truly an international ministry.

We don’t know all that God will do as a result of this training, but we do know God is at work transforming the children through His church in El Toro and all around the world. Won’t you join us in this great venture?
