The Macedonian Call model is a guiding principle for us. “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us’ ” (Acts 16.9, ESV).

Bogota and Cali . Appointments like this often lead to introductions and new relationships in other countries. This will be our first time connecting with churches in South America.

TUMI has recently published the Portuguese translation of Fight the Good Fight of Faith . This is a strategic accomplishment for the Great Commission. An estimated 280 million people around the world speak Por tuguese. This language distribution dates back to the colonial era, when Portugal established
