King's Way Center for World Mission

King's Way Center for World Mission Mobilizing the Rio Grande valley and the Spanish speaking world for the extension of the Kingdom of God. We welcome this diversity.

A Center for World Mission (CWM) exists to serve the Body of Christ as a catalyst for the cause of world evangelization with the emphasis on the least-reached peoples. A CWM seeks to fill gaps not being filled by others in order to advance the Kingdom of God. A CWM serves churches, mission agencies, associations and others in a number of the following ways, as a:

Mobilization Center that seek

s to activate, educate and facilitate strategic involvement of the Church in world mission. Training Center that equips and prepares believers for cross-cultural service, and/or offers specialized training in specific areas. Resource Center that conducts research, produces and makes available a wide range of mission materials. Development Center that initiates and encourages the formation of structures and/or networks for missions. We expect the various Centers to have different histories, to have different organizational structures and links, to have different missiological perspectives, and to emphasize different tasks.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the International Day for the Unreached this past Sunday. We are incredibly excited and humbled by the tremendous response that took place! 🙌

But…

This is only the beginning.

There is so much work that remains to be done! Thank you to those of you who are participating in our 1:11 Prayer Challenge to continue praying for the unreached.

🙏 As we pray in these upcoming days, let us pray that God would stir the hearts of believers to be compelled to action.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Stay tuned in the days ahead to see how God might be able to use you to help make Christ’s name known to the nations!

THE KINGDOM ADVANCES!
“…the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matt. 11:12 It is amazing to see how the Kingdom advances despite all kinds of hinderances, like, say, a pandemic, for instance?
We have been thrilled to see how God continues to mobilize His Latin American church during these trying times so that many can be sent out to share the Good News of salvation to places as yet unreached by the Gospel. Yes! Streams of called workers are flowing out of the Spanish-speaking world to the unreached areas of the world. There they are able to be received and are effective, many times more than workers from the U.S. The Lord is growing the missions force from lands that were once considered mission fields. The fruit has matured and is now being used in a mighty way.
We are also excited about what the Lord is doing in Brazil. This Portuguese-speaking country in South America is rising as a giant in the world of missions. The numbers of workers being sent out from there is exploding! What is the common denominator between these two groups? Well, one is the powerful tool called the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course. We now have in both Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds an online version of this course which is training thousands of churches in how to be mature sending churches for this end-time harvest. The Spanish version is the course that we had a major part in launching, and that we continue to encourage and support in any way we can.
Like many of you, we are trusting and waiting (while continuing to work) for the Lord to reopen doors for onsite ministry in Latin America and Spain. Please pray for us and many other ministries while we look to the Lord for the future. Thank you, dear friends and prayer partners.

“Be still and know that I am God…He makes me lie down in green pastures…Wait on the Lord, He will renew your strength”…the Holy Bible
These are some of the thoughts from God’s Word I have been thinking about in these days of restricted movement. Many of us may be asking what the Lord is up to? Perhaps these verses contain some of the answer. Much can be gained through prolonged moments of quietness. Let Him talk to you in the quiet. He has much to say to you.
The rhythms of life right now are not too different for us, except of course, we are not traveling as we were doing before. Our office is in our home and Ken and I have worked together for many years, so we are used to being together all the time. One of our daughters, her husband, and four children live with us, so that has been a huge blessing. Though we are in lockdown, we still have the sound of children laughing and talking ringing through the house. It is great!
Each week we meet with the Perspectives Global leadership team via Zoom to build team spirit, discuss decisions and to pray together. God is continuing to mobilize His people around the world as part of the preparation for His return. Perspectives classes are restarting in China; Latin America is going virtual with their classes and have asked us to be on the planning team for that, so we have regular Zoom meetings with them, also. French Perspectives is about to launch in the French-speaking part of Africa, as soon as things normalize there, and we have been asked to assist that launch in an advisory role, also. Though the whole world seems to be on hold, God’s plan advances!
We also meet several times a week for virtual prayer meetings and with our house church. It’s different, but maybe we had better get used to different! I notice that many churches are saying that their virtual attendance is higher than it was before the quarantine. Hmmm, what is God up to?! Maybe every home was meant to be a place where the church meets?
All of our family is well, thankfully. We very much miss getting to see them all face to face. But that will change soon. We are thankful for our Facebook friends and for all who pray for us! May the Lord strengthen and encourage each one. Love to all.

MOBILIZATION – WHAT IS IT?
With any great endeavor or movement, such as raising an army to send to another part of the world, there are immense logistics to cover. The same is true of the body of Christ sending forth workers across the world to share the gospel. There is much preparation to be done. But the very first step is to call the troops together. This involves sharing vision, lighting passion and opening understanding as to why this call is going out. That is what a mobilizer does! Ken and I have a very strong call from the Lord on our lives to be mobilizers, and this is the primary focus of King’s Way in this present day. Our hearts burn with a God-given passion to help call the Spanish-speaking church to take her place on the world stage as an important part of the completion of the Great Commission. Did you know that the resources, both financially and people-wise, already are available to finish the Great Commission in our time? The only thing that is lacking is getting this knowledge out and the church getting her act together. Remember what it says in Matthew 24:14? “And the gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Mobilizers have a key part to play in hastening the return of Christ!

¡Necesitamos de sus oraciones, queridos amigos! Estamos preparándonos para viajar a España de nuevo. Después de la batalla fuerte por la cual pasamos el verano pasado, ¡regresamos con la victoria en nuestros corazones y con una expectativa grande para lo que el Señor va a hacer en ese país tan bello! Hay un mover nuevo del Espíritu Santo en la iglesia de España. ¡El Señor está listo para hacer algo maravilloso para animar y fortalecer a su pueblo! Para los que nos han apoyado en oración durante los últimos meses, estamos pidiéndoles otra vez que nos cubran en oración y al equipo de Perspectivas que nos acompaña para protección y para que estemos empoderados durante las semanas que vienen. ¡Jesús es el Señor sobre España!
Sabemos que la oración es el combustible que es necesario para que el movimiento de Perspectivas cubra todo el país de España. Por favor, oren por nosotros en este viaje a España, comenzando el 21 de abril hasta el 8 de mayo. Nuestra meta mientras estamos visitando allá es llevar acabo dos eventos de Introducción a Perspectivas y reunirnos con algunos líderes del país. El propósito de estos eventos es ganar su aprobación y apoyo para iniciar un programa de estudio de Perspectivas en España, dirigido por cristianos españoles. Las preparaciones para lanzar tales programas son extensas, tomando mucho tiempo y trabajo, pero ¡valen la pena!
Gracias a todos que colaboran con nosotros financieramente, y estamos muy agradecidos por tantas oraciones del cuerpo de Cristo. ¡Ustedes son una bendición enorme! Fue por esas oraciones que sigo con vida hoy día. ¡Por siempre quedamos llenos de gratitud!

Looking for prayers, dear friends! We are nearing our departure for our return trip to Spain. After the severe battle we endured last summer, we are returning with victory in our hearts and a great expectation for what God is doing in that beautiful country. There is a stirring in the Spanish church. The Lord is up to something - something wonderful to encourage and strengthen His people! For those that stood with us in prayer over the last few months, we are again calling for prayer coverage for protection and empowerment for our Perspectivas team over the next few weeks. Jesus is Lord over Spain!!!
We know that prayer is the fuel that is necessary for the Perspectives movement to advance across the entire country of Spain. Please pray with us as we make this return trip to Spain beginning April 21 and continuing to May 8. Our goal during this trip is to hold several “Introducing Perspectives” events in Spain. The purpose of these meetings is to familiarize pastors and leaders with Perspectives and hopefully winning their support for planting a Spaniard-lead Perspectives Study Program in their areas. The preparations for launching such a study program are extensive and take a lot of energy and time but, of course, are so worth it!
Thank you again to all of you who financially take part in what we do, and we are so thankful for all who pray for us. Your prayers made all the difference last summer when I was so close to death. We will be forever grateful! Love to all, Glynis

MORE THAN JUST TINSEL
Hello, dear friends! Ken and I so want to send our greetings your way. It has been much too long since I have written a report on what has been happening in our lives, as has been my habit in the past. As I sit here and reflect on these past months… still fresh in my memory are the many days and weeks during which I could not sit at my desk and write. So today is another red-letter day for me. What a joy to finally again be able to do most of the everyday things I have always been able to do! For those who may not know, I had a serious health crisis while we were working with the Perspectives ministry in Spain last June. I had emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia and a battle with flesh-eating bacteria that had me teetering along the edge between life and death. Because of a truly shocking amount of prayer from the body of Christ all over the world, and, truly, because of the grace of God, I did not succumb. So here I am. Rejoicing and still finding out, day by day, why I am still among the living.
This year the holidays have a deeper meaning for me. Having faced the very real possibility that I would not be around to celebrate ever again with my friends and family here on this earth has had quite a sobering effect.
Some things I am deeply grateful for:
1. Amazingly, there was almost no pain throughout the whole ordeal, and the incision was purposely left wide-open to help fight off the flesh-eating bacteria for many weeks!
2. God miraculously provided thousands of dollars to pay for the surgery, 30 thousand dollars in one weekend! And more came in after that! The hospital bill was paid in full when I was released. We are super humbled and blown away by your generosity!
3. I could never be grateful enough for my Ken who literally kept me alive during the time I was not able to care for myself, many days and weeks.
4. Faithful friends just “happened” to be there in Spain and set aside all else to minister to us while I was in the hospital. I am so thankful they were able to help Ken get away for a few times of short refreshment during his many days caring for me in the hospital, and they were there to pray over me and declare God’s Word over the situation.
5. A lovely apartment was supplied for us for the two months of recuperation needed before I could fly home. It was quiet and peaceful and met the need perfectly.
6. And above all- what can I say? The amount of prayer that went up for me and Ken was truly amazing!!! I cannot express the thankfulness that I feel in my heart, dear friends.
What new perspectives have come into my life?
1. Life truly is short and every day is a gift to be enjoyed. Especially precious is every “extra” day I get to spend with my beloved husband and family.
2. To face death with equanimity, one needs to have died long before by surrendering your life to Jesus completely. Strangely enough, I never felt fear or anger during my ordeal. I felt “held”. I don’t know how to explain it. But that’s what I felt.
3. Some have asked if I am afraid of returning to Spain. In a word – no. If the enemy meant to scare me off, he miscalculated badly… I am more determined than ever to complete the assignment that the Lord has for us there!
4. As we passed through this experience I (we) have come to realize that the Lord is doing something new and amazing in the country of Spain. Somehow as I literally shed my blood and almost lost my life for Spain my love for Spain has deepened. The Lord is on the move! It is a new day for the church there as the Lord prepares His Bride for His return!
5. Having all my life struggled against a weight of rejection, I now have a greater awareness and acceptance of God’s love for me, and His people’s love for me. I am truly in awe.

So during these holidays and all through the years to come, I have so much to be grateful for. And you do, too! Dear friends, please take a moment to thank God for your life and His many blessings. He is truly a wonderful Savior!

I humbly ask that you also continue to pray for us. We will be traveling to Bogota, Colombia, next week (December 8-15) for several days, training trainers to mobilize and encourage God’s people there using the wonderful Perspectives course. Pray for good flights, no lost luggage, health and strength as we go. Pray for our entire team to be anointed and for our students to be captivated by the training. The joy of the Lord will be our strength!

Thank you so much for listening to my heart.

Glynis (and Ken)

Bull fights, sun-drenched villages, olive trees… These may be some of the things you think of when you think of the country of Spain, but when we think of Spain, we think of the beautiful faces of those waiting to be activated and encouraged in the churches there. Ken and I are in the planning stages for an important trip to this fascinating land for the purpose of “spying out the land” i.e. meeting with some new contacts (and some older ones, too!) and generally laying some ground work for launching Perspectivas in Spain. The Lord has recently been stirring the church in Spain, bringing new growth and life. So this seems to be a kairos time for Perspectives to further awaken her to her strategic position that enables her to reach into Muslim north Africa, and to receive the constant stream of needy immigrants flowing north across the straits of Gibraltar. We will be counting upon your prayers as we walk this new territory, believing for a new Perspectives Study Program springing up across the country!

Preparations for a Spanish Intensive here in the U.S. continue. This historical event will take place simultaneously with an English Intensive in Dallas, TX, July 22-28. As Coordinating team members, Ken and I will be helping with various aspects of this class. We are excited that Instructors and students from multiple continents will be attending. There are many who are interested in coming, who will help plant new programs in several countries. This event needs to be covered by prayer for great outcomes and remaining fruit. May the Lord’s hand be strengthened to protect from the enemy’s onslaught and to bring just the right students and to provide the needed funds for their attendance.
