Missions in the Amazon Partners

In September of 2010, Missions in the Amazon created a leadership team which included the leaders of River of Life Ministries and Pioneer Ministries.  Through the team that was assembled, a strong direction and purpose has been developed for those interested in being a part of Jorge's ministry.  Since that time, Missions in the Amazon has joined The Sending Project, which helps unite mission organizations around the Kansas City area.  Several churches have also joined in support of Missions in the Amazon and with all of theses organizations, we are excited about the expansion and outreach of Jorge's ministry both in the United States and Peru.

The Sending Project The Sending Project Vision is based upon Jesus’ prayer in John 17:23, where he prayed for his followers in this way, “May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me…”  There are many churches conducting global missions efforts on their own.  The Sending Project is facilitating a city-wide alliance of missions leaders from Kansas City churches so they can come together, learn from each other, and serve alongside each other. God has a heart for the poor. He has a heart for the nations. And He wants His Church to be in unity. Now is the time for us to connect with His heart and work together to let the world know how much He loves them. Find out more about this ministry at www.thesendingproject.org.

River of Life Ministries Based in Chicago, Illinois and led by Mark Simpson, River of Life Ministries is focused on bringing the gospel to nations around the world.  Through his ministry, Mark hopes to get as many people as possible flowing in this River of Life, who is none other than Jesus Christ.  Since 1998, Mark has traveled to Asian, Latin and Central American countries training and equipping our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as bringing mission teams from churches all over the United States to build homes, churches, and bring encouragement.  Mark speaks in many conferences around the United States as well, with much of his ministry being focused on the Hispanic community.  Through the partnership with Missions in the Amazon, Mark is hoping to build a seminary-type facility in Maypuco (a large city in the heart of the Amazon Jungle), that together with Jorge, will allow for the growth of the pastors of Jorge's churches around the Amazon.  He also is committed to speaking at the Congreso and bringing a group to volunteer for the event.  Find out more about his ministry at www.riveroflifeministries.com!

  

Pioneer Outreach Ministries Pioneer Ministries is a Christian outreach organization led by Howard and Helen Toombs.  Together over the past 28 years, they have been planting churches and spreading the Good News in several Latin American countries such as Honduras, Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru.  They learned of Jorge's ministry around 15 years ago and have devoted a large part of their ministry to its support and growth.  They have attended seven Congreso's now, and as they reach an age in which they can no longer attend, they excited welcomed the opportunity to partner with Missions in the Amazon and River of Life Ministries and expand their outreach.
