Doing Our Best to Show Ourselves Approved

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” —2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)

This month, we’ve been reminded how much our vocation depends not just on passion, but also on preparation. Across the Northern Triad—and throughout our region—God is calling His workers to do their best as they serve and grow.

On September 25, we launched an online competency cohort for veteran missionaries serving across the Northern Triad Area. Thirty-seven workers joined the first session of this six-month journey designed to familiarize our area with updated missionary competency language, build out a framework for future training, and strengthen a culture of growth and development for all workers.

Just a few days later, we took part in the regional training for seven new global workers (GWs) headed to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It was a joy to help them understand the structure and resources of AGWM and to teach the Bible in Ministry Competency (BiM) to the entire incoming associate cohort—37 new workers preparing to establish the Church in 21 nations. Seeing their readiness to learn and serve reminded us again that the work of the gospel moves forward through teachable, Spirit-filled hearts.

We also traveled to Argentina for regional leadership meetings, where we engaged in strategic discussions around church planting, advocacy, member care, and training. Between sessions, we had the privilege of visiting several of our GWs on the field and spending time at Instituto Bíblico Río de la Plata, one of the Assemblies of God’s premier ministerial training centers in South America. The commitment of both faculty and students to handle the Word of Truth faithfully deeply inspired us.

Thank you for praying and partnering with us. Because of you, workers across Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic—and beyond—are being equipped to serve with excellence, maturity, and confidence in God’s Word.
