Puerta Al Mundo is a new Honduran interdenominational mission agency that is committed to sending Hondurans to unreached people around the world. While many years of prayer and missions mobilizing have laid a foundation to this work, it was in 2005 that the mission was formed. The mission was initiated by two churches from an urban slum area. They invited Servant Partners to help them set up a platform for sending Honduran young people to the unreached. Even amid their own struggle with poverty, these churches have a vision to share the gospel with those who don't know Jesus. There is a growing mission movement from the poor of Honduras with many, many young people eager to give their lives for the unreached. Puerta Al Mundo is currently preparing workers for India and North Africa. On-going support for these missionaries comes from their local context while large one-time expenses (airfare, medical insurance, training) comes through partnerships with outside organizations. First Pres has been one of the initial donors assisting this emerging missions movement.

Ian and Teri have been working under Campus Crusade for Christ in France for almost thirty years. They were involved initially in establishing the CCC student work in France and have been engaged in multiple projects with a variety of churches since that time.

In the past 12 months, they have entered into partnership with another mission called Alongside Ministries International. True to its name, Alongside places culturally-sensitive Christian workers inside national churches to serve alongside local pastors. Under this partnership, Ian and Teri are serving as Directors for Western Europe, mentoring the younger workers and developing further contacts among receiving churches. Their area of responsibility includes France, Scotland and Berlin, Germany. In many ways, this new partnership is enabling them to fulfil their original vision of 'training the next generation of Christian leaders'.

Closer to home, Ian and Teri are involved in outreach through their local church, notably in conjunction with the Alpha course. Ian is an elder in the church and Teri is a trained lay counsellor and teaching leader with Community Bible Study (CBSI). The Geneva area, where they have lived for the past five years, is a highly cosmopolitan and strategic center for reaching the world-wide community.

Here at the USA office, she helps Richard with some administration amidst his many travels, accompanies Richard on some of the ministry trips, holds the home front, and practices hospitality with the many missionaries and others who come through the OM base.

Servant Partners works with the urban poor all over the world, assisting with the creation and development of new local churches and organizations that will seek to be ministers of reconciliation and transformation in the urban poor community. Anna is a part of the Servant Partners team in the slum community of Nueva Suyapa, Honduras. The team is working alongside a group of Honduran leaders in the creation of Honduras' first interdenominational missions sending agency. While the vision and leadership for this new agency has come from leaders in Nueva Suyapa, Servant Partners has been instrumental in helping to develop full time indigenous leadership for the agency and in the creation of the supporting base of the agency, including a Honduran board of directors and a network of supporting businesses. As the other members of the team work with the development of the agency administration and local business development, Anna will work with the creation and development of a training program for the agency. Anna also helps to coordinate the annual training for new Servant Partners staff from Latin America.

Mike and Lorna have finished the Quioquitani Zapotec translation of the New Testament, it is recorded on cassette tape, and the Luke video has been dubbed in the native language. A small but growing and very missions-minded church has been established in Quioquitani that is using the Quioquitani Zapotec New Testament. Mike and Lorna feel that their main mission to the Quioquitani has been accomplished. Because of Lorna’s on-going health issues and an urgent need for help at the SIL translation center near Tucson, they have relocated to that center and serve in support roles, helping their colleagues in Mexico complete the work of the Bible translation there. Mike is the Translation Coordinator for the Mexico Branch, and he also works in finance half time. He continues work on the Quioquitani dictionary and makes his language data available to those in Mexico who are working in related Zapotec dialects. Lorna is currently assisting the Personnel Coordinator.
