NEWSLETTER | ISSUE NO. 03 | MAY 2023 A MESSAGE FROM OUR INTERIM PRESIDENT REV. CARLOS CEPEDA Today, we invite you to explore the latest issue of our magazine. In an increasingly connected world, the Church has a unique opportunity to serve with a broader vision as we fulfill God's Great Commission. We are called to be Christ's witnesses—from our own "Jerusalem" to the ends of the earth. Whether through sharing the Gospel, praying, sending missionaries, or going ourselves, each of us has a part to play in God's mission. My prayer is that this issue will encourage and inspire you as you discover more of what God is doing among the nations. May these stories strengthen your faith and remind you that lives are being transformed through the power of the Gospel. May God richly bless you. Stay connected, keep praying, and join us as we continue reaching the lost for Christ. God's grace be with you, Rev. C. Cepeda President (Interim) & PRO, Advance International
