What is your history with ReachGlobal?
Just arriving!
In that case, tell us a bit more about your history outside of RG.
I've been in ministry for 30 years:
- Church planter and minister (Iglesia Cristiana Evangelica Argentina)
- Editor (Christian Leadership Development; Apuntes Pastorales magazine)
- Missionary assigned to the Latin Missionary Movement (COMIBAM International)
- Leadership trainer (Instituto Forum Latinum)
- VP of Ministries with Latin America Mission (LAM) for the last 11 years
- International consultant
- Specialist in Institutional Strengthening, Strategic Planning, etc.
I love the RG Leadership's emphasis on excellence and results, and I hope to learn and contribute to these. Also, I'm excited about the possibility of being a resource in assisting the Latin missionary movement within their indigenous ventures, helping them to develop a responsible way of sending international workers/missionaries.
What is your position on the leadership team?
I've been appointed as Area Leader for Holistic Ministries and trainer/coach for missionary agencies.
What does that mean? What do you do?
- I will assist Brian in overseeing/coaching RG missionaries serving in holistic ministries.
- I will train and coach Latin missionary sending structures and Christian non-profit organizations.
I think experience helps a lot, especially with several years spent helping others to fulfill the Lord's call for their lives. Also, my pastoral background helped me become more sensitive to people.
What do you want to/need to work on as a boss or leader?
Getting with the RG ethos and culture; learning how to match with the rest of the team and how to assist Brian better.
What has God been teaching you lately about being a leader?
I am learning...
- How to honor the Lord's call for His people.
- How to enrich and empower them, exposing them to different perspectives and better practices.
- How to take care of them.
It's my continent, my people. It's easy for me to love it!
What excites you about the ministry we're doing in LA?
I'm not very well familiarized with all RG missionaries and their ministries yet, but I love the ProMETA program and performance. I think it's cutting edge. Also, after the week-long meeting with the ADT in Tennessee, I'm excited about the potential for the near future of RG LA.
