Who we are and what we stand for

 

We are convinced of this:  God love Muslims.  He sent the Son He loves to offer them salvation and he has commanded us to give our lives to that they can learn of His love.

 

As it is written:

Those who have never been told of him shall see,

And those who have never heard of him shall understand.

                                                                      Rom 15:21

 

That is why our vision is that God will move hundreds of Latin Americans who will:

 

We are currently more than 110 workers from 15 Latin American countries serving in 6 nations of the 10/40 Window.

 

A Latin Mission—Our languages are Spanish and Portuguese

PMI is an international and interdenominational mission founded in Latin America , made up of Latin Americans and led by Latin Americans.  Our purpose is to help Latino churches to send their workers to Muslim communities around the world to make disciples of Jesus Christ and plant his church among them.

A Mission to Islam—We plant indigenous churches in Muslim communities

Islam represents the largest number of peoples in today’s world with limited access to the gospel of Jesus Christ:  a major challenge to the church in its mission today.  More than 3000 ethnolinguistic groups made up of 1.1 billion followers have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ.  As Latin Americans, we have joined with each other in our efforts to proclaim the gospel and plant indigenous churches among them.

 A wholistic mission—We proclaim the gospel in word and deed.

Our workers share the gospel while they serve the community using their professions for the good of those whom they serve for the love of Jesus.

As workers whose experience of the gospel is rooted in Latin America , we are compelled to form cooperative ties with national believers from the very beginnings of the church in the communities we serve.  We believe that it is through their own leadership that the churches we help establish will grow and carry the gospel to many other places that today are out of the reach of the gospel.

We are a field based mission offering advantages to Latinos who are called to love and serve Muslims in the gospel:

PMI provides orientation and assistance to each worker helping them develop their ministry among Muslims in the following ways:

Field based training:  New field workers receive our Field Orientation Course (COT) during the first 6 months on the field.  During the COT experience, workers lay a foundation of friendship and mutual understanding with local Muslims.  The desired result is excellence in language use and understanding the customs of the people we serve.  Throughout our years on the field, we are given opportunities for further study to further our understanding of God’s word and to develop ministry skills.

Team Life:  Fellowship with other workers from Latin America is a key.  We are refreshed and renewed by our colleagues, and together we help each other get through times of loneliness when we are far from all that is familiar.

Pastoral Care:    Besides making fellowship possible, PMI works alongside the leaders of sending churches to make sure our pastoral and emotional needs are addressed while we are on the field.

Placement assistance:    PMI helps create the opportunities we need to serve in countries that traditionally are considered “closed”.  Such projects range from local humanitarian service projects to small business development to sports.  In each project workers grow and develop their professional skills and experience.

Supervision:   Our supervisors are also Latin Americans and help us develop our project and ministry and support us in our communication with our sending church.
