Dear Global Focus Family and Friends,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus. I hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather and looking forward to a great spring and summer 2010!

As I reflect on the past year I think of great BLESSINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES.

VISION 2015 is alive and well!!:

We will teach 5 million leaders
Thus we believe we will see;
500,000 churches mobilized for global mission
and
50 million Christians mobilized for global mission

On May 13 we will celebrate our 15th Anniversary with a Victory and Vision Banquet at First Baptist of Woodstock, Georgia. Join us...call Judy at 770-529-8610 to reserve your place!

As with all non-profit ministries we have faced enormous challenges, yet we have been greatly blessed. We are now at about the TWO MILLION mark toward our goal. And, my how we are facing such tremendous opportunities as we, by faith, march aggressively toward Vision 2015!

What a blessing to continually see and hear of the great fruit of our ministry in local churches. It is so gratifying to hear from alumni churches that have been in the Global Focus process for several years and are still growing in the vision and involvement in global evangelization. What a joy to see a good number of new churches involved in the GF process here in America. An example of our North American fruit:

“Our Global Impact Celebration and the Global Focus process are proving to be life-changing and church-changing.

Faith Commitment Goal: $100,000
Faith Commitment Committed: $125,000
(Believing God that the people will give over $150,000)
Short term journey commitments: 70
Acts 1:8 Team involvements and other personalized involvement: 100

"We have added a fulltime staff member and realigned our staff to include an associate pastor for missions.”
Neil Carter, Associate Pastor
Pleasant Grove Baptist Church (approximately 500 worship attendance)
Moulton, Alabama

It is also gratifying to hear from our international partners about how God is continuing to mobilize congregations all over the world for His global mission through our ministry. Here is a word from........

Dr. Harold Peasley, Founder President
Multi-Ministries

In-Country Coordinator, Global Focus South Africa
Johannesburg, South Africa

"Our Global Focus South Africa Leadership Team is excited about the potential for Global Focus to impact the evangelical churches of South Africa to become fully mobilized Acts 1:8 Local/Global churches.  The excitement and anticipation is high.  Already many key churches are signing up to become GF churches.  We believe God will use the ministry of Global Focus in an unprecedented manner in our country.  Pray for wisdom as we leaders utilize this exciting tool to see a mighty mobilizing movement begin in our country for the glory of God and the cause of global evangelization."
 

OPPORTUNITIES....we are so blessed by how many come our way here in America and around the world. At the present we have many countries asking us to bring GF to their countries to help these key leaders mobilize the pastors and churches of their countries. Indonesia, Philippines, Kenya, Peru, Vietnam, Australia are some of the countries asking us to come and teach them the GF principles and dynamics.

Everyone knows that these are difficult economic times, but the opportunities to expand Vision 2015 domestically and internationally by mobilizing churches to more effectively reach people for Christ locally and globally are more prolific than ever before. It breaks my heart to have to tell so many “not at this time” because of financial constraints.

In order to capitalize on all the OPPORTUNITIES.....WE NEED YOUR HELP!! With great conviction, we must press forward and take advantage of the open doors before us.
