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
