Engaging the One
In Brazil , OMS missionaries Micah and Marla Routon and Brazilian pastor Anderson and his wife Eloisy celebrate that their church congregation nearly doubled in size in 2020 , despite the pandemic . Their church focuses on making disciples while serving the city . By investing in current pastors , training future pastors , equipping community leaders , and partnering with the local government to meet physical needs in the community , all while preaching the Gospel message , O Farol Igreja is truly becoming a lighthouse in its city .
Ángela ( pictured with her children ) is the director of Soy Satura , a ministry of OMS and Satura Colombia that ministers to Venezuelans who are fleeing the crisis in their country . The ministry provides nutritious snacks and basic education for children , job skill training for mothers , and discipleship and church planting training . In 2020 , Soy Satura opened a second location in Venezuela . Before her interactions with Soy Satura , Nancy stormed from her home in a blind rage . She intended to make a deal to seal the fate of a family enemy . Ángela stopped her in her tracks , comforted her , and shared the Good News of
Jesus . Nancy calmed down and later participated in a process of discipleship that transformed her life and her family .
As Nancy grew in her faith , she began helping Ángela and the Soy Satura team as a volunteer , delivering food and making soup on Sundays to feed the hungry . Nancy also started a small church in her home and facilitates Bible studies with her neighbors .
Ángela came to Christ through the Satura Colombia ministry and is now making disciples and strongly serving the Lord . Nancy came to know Christ through Ángela and is now serving the Lord and making disciples . This is the heart of multiplication and is a wonderful example of engaging the one to reach the many !
