Missions is not only something the Church is called to do but also called to be.  The Church is Christ's Witness called to testify in the power of the Holy Spirit.  As we look to the book of Acts we see three primary aspects of the Church as witness: verbal proclamation of the gospel (word ministry), radical service of love (good works) and intense fellowship (worshipping community).  In this workshop we will look at instances in which these aspects are sought to be lived out as an integrated whole in the life of several local Churches throughout Latin America, drawing out principles that can enrich our efforts to partner in missions in ways that truly empower host ministries.  Come and see what powerful synergy takes place when words (proclamation ministry) are shared within the context of works (community development ministry) that flow out of a worshipping community (fellowship) that loves God and neighbors.
