Go Media, Go Missions, Go IMM

Daniel from Mexico turned roman for the day!

Daniel from Mexico turned roman for the day!

Wow! That’s about sums up what I can say to express what God is doing in us at IMM along with the 14 students and young adults who participated in the first ever GoBorderless Media Encounter.

First, God did a work in the lives of our staff. Each of us felt a sense of hope as we interacted with these young visionaries - hope for the future work of IMM, hope for the work of the Kingdom among the unreached and hope for this generation, which is energized and passionate for God!

Second, God did a work in the lives of our participants. Among those who came, many left saying God had released greater vision in their hearts for sharing Christ through media. Others, like Danielle, confessed a confirmation of God’s call to missions and are planning to return to IMM for a two-year Missionary Associate term of service.

This was a great team experience

Third, God is doing a work in the lives of people who have yet to know Him. This week we were able to produce, with the help of this team, two segments, which will be used for the “Gospel of Mark” project and the video segments for “The Parables of Jesus” Spanish project.

Fourth, God is doing a work among those who heard the Gospel and a positive message in Madrid. We, as an IMM team, joined forces with the ministry Kilometro Cero to have a “Pro-life” march in downtown Madrid. During the two-hour march, the truth of Christ was shared as people were encouraged to consider life before birth, an abundant life, here and now, and how they can have eternal life after death.  The entire evening was captured on video and will be used for Kilometro Cero’s ministry.

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us this week! We are so blessed to have you invested in God’s ministry to share the story that changes lives!

Yours because I’m His,

Go Borderless:touch the world,touch a life

Pray for GoBorderless

Today we make the first of 5 airport runs to pick up new friends representing 5 different nations of the world coming to our first Goborderless media encounter event. We will be engaging these students in round table talks about missions and media, involving them in actual projects which we are now shooting for distribution worldwide and cross-training with them, sharing skills with one another to increase our effectiveness in communicating the story that changes lives. Please pray for us. Watch the video to see what to pray for. Thanks!

The Journey begins

I think I was born for this! Our first full day in Spain happened to fall on a Sunday. Of course, it is our practice to be in church on Sunday so we accepted the invitation to attend a small, yet exciting Spanish church, which our IMM missionary friends, Jonathan and Bonnie, attend. From the very first chorus, I knew I was home. Oh not necessarily in the exact church where we will participate while we live here, but I knew I was back in the right environment that God had prepared us for.

I have been in Spain now less then 48 hours and I’m finding my heart opening to it’s culture, it’s people, it’s spiritual need. Like many in the United States, Spain is undergoing tremendous challenges with unemployment, housing crisis and general economic uncertainty. And yet, this is the time for believers to be distributors of hope! We have a hope that transcends all of the challenges of the day! Pastor Hector spoke out of Acts 3 tonight. He reminded us how Peter and John, on the first day after Pentecost fell, while walking to church, encountered a man who was resigned to the condition that fate had dealt him. A lame beggar, looking for a way to survive, simply asked for help, a chance to live another day. Peter offered him hope through the healing power of Jesus and a man’s life was changed.

I pray that even in these early days of transition, I may find opportunity to offer the very best of what I have. Christ in me, the hope of glory! Thanks for your prayers and for supporting us on this journey.
