What will we do?

• Ray will focus on church planting under the
  supervision of the BEAMM Western Regional
  Director, Gary Nantt.
• This involves ministering the gospel to committed
  Christians and proclaiming the grace of God to
  people who do not have faith in Christ.

48
Our Emphasis

• Holy Spirit -- The power for church church
  planting will need to come from the Holy Spirit -
  only He has the power to change hearts.
• Preaching Proclamation -- The Word of God will
  be instrumental in reaching the people of Las
  Playas de Tijuana.

49
Our Focus

• We will focus on shepherding Gods people,
  evangelizing the lost, and training future
  Mexican leaders.
• Our desire is to reach out to all segments of
  society.

Ministry Partners

• Before we can move to Mexico we need to develop a
  group of ministry partners people who play an
  active role in this ministry.
• There are two areas where we need help
• Prayer Partners
• Financial Partners

58
Ministry Partners

• Financial Ministry Partners
• One of the biggest challenges we now face is
  asking others to share in our support.
• Like many other missions organizations, Mission
  to the World Staff members depend on the
  consistent financial support of churches and
  concerned individuals to carry on their ministry.

59
Ministry Partners

• Financial Ministry Partners
• Contributions from individuals and churches are
  the only source of income to support our
  ministry.
• Mission to the World has no central funds for
  paying salaries.

60
Ministry Partners

• Financial Ministry Partners
• We must find a team of partners who will give
  75, 100, 200 per month, or some other amount,
  to support our ministry.

61
Partner Commitment

• Would you consider becoming part of our team?
• God can use your partnership to powerfully reach
  many with the life-changing gospel of Jesus
  Christ!

62
Our Commitment

• Our commitment to our partners
• To work diligently to honor God through gospel
  ministry.
• To regularly let our partners know how God is
  blessing this ministry.
• To share prayer concerns with one another.
