Impacting world missions
I was in Korea September 19-30 for the 4th Lausanne Global Congress. During the time there, I was able to interview 74 people to produce five new episodes of the Lausanne Global Classroom. The episodes will be on the topics of Business as Mission, Cities, Children and Families, Ministry Collaboration, and Orality. Each of these play an important role in global evangelization. Pray for speed in the production process. The Congress was an amazing event, with 5,394 people attending from over 200 countries. The theme of the Congress was 'Let the Church Declare and Display Christ Together'.
After serving for 33 years with One Mission Society (OMS), the Lord has led me to a new opportunity to expand and enhance my ministry globally. As of September 1, I will no longer be with OMS but will start serving with Great Commission Consulting (GCC). My brother, Todd and I started GCC five years ago to facilitate Todd's ministry of providing psychological assessments, missionary care, and training. I never dreamed I would be joining him! My ministry with Lausanne and Gordon-Conwell will continue. I will also help Todd with his training programs. Please be praying for a smooth transition and for all the new opportunities this change will allow. For more information, see the GCC post below.
In June, I went to Turkiye and Pakistan for Lausanne meetings and to visit Yaksan, the Global Classroom video editor. What an unforgettable experience! Both countries have long histories and have a majority religion other than Christianity. In the picture to the left, I am standing in front of what is called The Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Check out more pics on the Gallery menu above.
It was so great to see Yaksan. Though we meet online every week, I had not seen him in person since June of 2019. He is an excellent video editor, and we work well together. He and his family need our prayers for health, strength and protection. Pray especially for his mother who has cancer. Check out more pics on the Gallery menu above.
Kim and I went in March on a trip to the Philippines with our family. We went there to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Faith Evangelical Church of the Philippines. We served in the Philippines with this group for 20 years. Three of our kids and their families also went on the trip. We had a great time reminiscing together, and seeing all that God has done since we left in 2011. Check out my message to the church during the celebration at this link. My message goes from 2:23:40 - 3:03:08. FECPI 40th Anniversary - YouTube. See also the post about it on my blog here on this site.
The Lausanne Movement recently interviewed Brent about his work with the Lausanne Global Classroom and his book. See the interview here: Gospel Issues for the Global Church - Lausanne Movement
I served as a church planter, pastor, Bible college president, and field leader for One Mission Society in the Philippines for 20 years.
