Month: May 2015

September 15th classes will begin at the missionary training campus in La Garita, Costa Rica for the first time! Twenty-nine national students will start training, as they fulfill their call to missions, primarily to the middle east.

John had the privilege of hosting Oak Creek Assembly of God team to La Garita, Costa Rica, where they continue construction on the school in preparation of the up and coming classes.  Eight men teamed together with the national workers. They worked day and night to remove and replace the roofing structure over the current administration building.

At the end of the day much had been accomplished in the physical work done and in the hearts of everyone there, knowing the investment being made to further the gospel.

Greetings,

Deborah and I will be starting full itineration June 1st, 2015.

For the past six years we have served in the AGWM construction ministry and will continue to serve with Builders International as Regional Project Managers for Latin America/Caribbean.

The Assemblies of God has 67,512,302 constituents, with 366,105 churches. One new believer is added every 21 seconds. One new church is planted every 54 minutes. There is an ever-growing need for facilities that will help train ministers in other countries to reach their communities with the gospel. Deborah and I have committed our lives to using our skills, gifts, and calling to help meet this need and advance the gospel to every nations.

We are excited about this upcoming year and time spent with our churches. We would consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to share with you and your church what God is doing through the construction ministry in Latin America and the Caribbean.

With your help we can reach this goal and go further in our mission!

Thank You,

John Sims
