I feel like I need to hold on because the year is flying by. We are almost one fourth through the year. Physically and emotionally I feel like we have packed six months into three. Along the way there have been major struggles, but at the same time, huge blessings. God has been with us each step of the way.
I never posted our goals and objectives for 2010. Unfortunately since this is posted for the world to see, I will only share with you seven of the nine ministry goals. If you are interested in knowing about the other two, you can email me.
Edwin and Evie Martinez 2010 Ministry Goals and Objectives
-
Strategic planning and execution of fifteen (15) evangelistic efforts in El Salvador completed.
-
Fifteen thousand (15,000) counselors equipped for evangelism through participation in counselor training classes for Franklin Graham Festivals in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Las Piedras, Uruguay.
-
Two thousand (2,000) pastors and leaders in two Latin American countries trained in principles of evangelism as shown by their participation in a congress or seminar on evangelism.
-
One hundred (100) pastors and leaders in three countries in Latin America assisted with development of mission programs in their churches through pastors’ conferences on missions as demonstrated by participating in one of our mission seminars..

Ten (10) key pastors and leaders in Argentina exposed to strategic youth ministries, as evidenced by being introduced to IMT team members, Tim and Annette Gulick and the Youth Specialties Institute being established in Argentina.
-
Strategic visits to three (3) key regions in the US for the purpose of presenting OC and IMT ministries, with the ultimate goal of gaining more prayer and financial support due to many supporters going on to be with the Lord. Also two churches had difficulties last year and had to lower support.
-
In cooperation with the mission emphasis of their sending churches, six (6) short-term ministry teams to Guatemala organized and led for involvement in evangelism and practical work projects.
Thank you for standing with us, kneeling with us in prayer, praising Him for miraculous results and giving Him all the glory. It takes more than just the two of us and we are so thankful to have you on our team.
Currently, Edwin is in Guatemala expecting two teams to arrive from Washington State. The first one is from The Inn in Bellingham, WA and the second group to arrive is from First Pres Church in Tacoma, WA. Pray for these young people to be a blessing to the Guatemalans. Pray that their hearts would be open to hear from God how they can get involved in missions when they return. God is Good!! All the time.
