Seminario Baxter concludes today. The number of registrants is up almost 50% over last year, the classrooms were overflowing, and the spirit on campus was excellent. I enjoyed seeing many old friends and meeting new ones.
It is easy for us to begin to think (without realizing it) that the work of God to change the world occurs primarily in the world where we live. Everytime I travel to Latin America, I am reminded that God is at work in places and ways I see only infrequently. I am reminded that the gospel is being preached, churches are growing, and souls are recognizing the salvation found only in the Lordship of Jesus.
I urge Christians to pray more diligently for the work of God in the world. Join God’s work in the place where you live, both with your talents and time, and with your financial resources. Thank God for Christians and churches that keep the flame burning brightly in lots of places around the world with their support of mission work.
If you are looking for a good place to put some monetary resources, in a work that is making a difference for eternity, consider Baxter Institute. Student campaigns, student weekend work, and the work of our almost 500 graduates across Latin American results in 100s of conversions each year.
