We think of you often and wonder how are you doing? We trust
everything is going well for you. Colleen and I have always
made it a practice of seeking God’s future for our lives.
This has led us to accept a call to return to full-time PAOC
missions activity as Regional
Director for Latin
America and the Caribbean. We anticipate taking up residence in Panama
by January 1st
2008.
As Colleen and I enter what we believe to be our most
productive years of ministry, we want to make a significant
impact in God’s Kingdom. It seems that the past 26 years of
ministry has been a preparation for this role as Regional
Director. This has left us with a great sense of joy as we
anticipate what God will do through us as we give ourselves
fully to building His Kingdom in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Our mission is to develop new ministries and assist current
missionaries and nationals to develop and refine their
vision, goals and objectives. Pastorally,
we will provide support to missionaries and national leaders
who find themselves in times of crisis. Practically,
our goal is to create effective networks of ministries that
will reduce duplication of activities and enhance ministry
effectiveness within the region. Part of this will involve
the coordination of efforts with ERDO (Economic Relief and
Development Overseas) to meet the needs of the poor through
feeding programs and primary and secondary education.
Promotionally,
we are committed to communicating the needs and challenges of
the Region to the Canadian constituency. Personally,
a significant part of our mission is to engage entrepreneurs
in missions.
We are excited about this moment in our person journey as we
are confident that God is with us. This involves a
step of
faith as we will be
raising all the funds needed to further the
Call of
God upon our lives.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to be a
part of this exciting journey. Would pray for us and with us
and consider how God might want to involve you in this
ministry?
As we wait to hear from you, we remain your,
Vessels of Grace.
James and Colleen Guskjolen
