Behind the Scenes May-August 2019 Volume 4, No. 2 Outreach Online equips Christians to make disciples of Jesus Christ through informative, inspiring, and involvement-driven articles, which leads to deeper mission participation by serv- ing, giving, and praying. As a new Christian in the late 1980s, there was nowhere I wanted to serve more than Latin America. I took my first short-term trip there, I learned Spanish, I trav- eled to seven Spanish-speaking countries, and I even served for a few years in this part of the world … in Mexico City, population 20 million at the time. Today, more than 20 years later, I recognize that my desire to be involved in world missions came about as a result of my love for and desire to see Latin people come to know Jesus. So, this edition of OMS Outreach excites me. Why? Because it is full of stories of hope, growth, and transformation throughout the Latin world. We hope you enjoy this issue and learn something new from it; we also hope you will be inspired to pray for the coun- tries and the peoples of these nations; we hope that you will continue to give to the work of multiplying disciples, leaders, churches, and mis- sionary movements from this region; and perhaps, maybe, you will even be inspired to go yourself.
