We are halfway through this 15-week missions course that God has used around the world to mobilize His church for His global purpose. We are excited to be part of that history here in Puebla!
 |
| We meet every Monday night from 6:30-9:30 pm at the Puebla Bible Seminary with over 50 students. The first half of the course was focused on the Biblical and historical perspectives, and the remainder is on the cultural and strategic perspectives. |
 |
| The Mexico Perspectives Director and his team came to Puebla for a weekend in June to train our team to facilitate the course. God has given us a great coordinating team including the Seminary, Avant missionaries, the Puebla branch of Comibam, and other missions leaders to recruit lots of students and make this happen! |
 |
| Most of the 15 speakers are Mexican pastors with a vision for missions that have taken Perspectives. This first session on August 12 was full with nearly 80 participating--more than 50 students, our team of about 10, and 20 visitors that were welcome during the first 2 weeks only--perhaps they will take the course the next time! |
 |
| Our church in Roseville helped with scholarships for 13 seminary students taking the course (pictured here), and also to provide discounts for the 10 pastors participating. We also have 6 Avant missionaries enrolled. Praise God! |
 |
| Stu coordinates the 7 mentoring groups at the Seminary--here are Stu's guys and Cristina's gals in our home for a combined session after lunch. Four of these students are taking Perspectives. |
 |
| Stu shared lesson 6 as an instructor on September 23, and will also teach the final lesson 15 which has a focus on ongoing application of what we have learned following the course which ends on December 2. Pray for opportunities for collaboration among this large class! |
