Strategic Planning 2016

Meetings are in full swing as the South America Department plans its 2016 mission campaign.  Among the areas of prayer and study are the possible formation of sports ministry teams for this year or next.  PJ is pictured here in a recent meeting with Pastor John Lee, our JEMS Sports Ministry Director.  

Pastor John and PJ traveled through São Paulo state together in 2015 to discuss ministry possibilities with local churches.  

The response was very positive overall.  It's my considered opinion that John may need to follow up with another visit to some key cities in southern Brazil, including Curitiba, Campo Grande, Londrina and Maringa.  These cities have large Nikkei populations and are sports centers for their communities.  Please pray as we consider the best timing for this visit by Pastor John Lee.
