“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you….
See, the wealth on the seas will be brought to you… Isaiah 60:1, 5
Ahoy! From the South Region, The Port of LA/Long Beach the largest shipping container port in the USA. Although not as glorious in beauty as other beaches in California the good or goods that come from the port supports not only Los Angeles but many cities in the US and around the world. In a very parallel way the South region is a spiritual port and has been known for sending out its goods (mission teams) Paris, Toronto, Las Vegas and disciples to Sydney and Boston. Once again the port of Long beach (the South) will be sending out the Moscow Mission team Dec 14th loaded with very precious gems (Russian & Ukrainian disciples). Oleg Sirotkin and his awesome wife Aliona The Russian World Sector leaders will be missed here in the South but will bring wealth (The good news) to all of Russia! Anthony Olmos and his incredible wife Cassidy have been called by God to be the new region leaders of the South. Anthony having been trained by Tim Kernan, Jason Dimitry and Oleg is more than ready for the task.
If Jesus ministry was in LA instead of Galilee he very easily could have used the port as one of his parables. Importing (making disciples) and exporting (mission teams), and Just as each container in the port must be checked for safety reasons Anthony & Cassidy and all the ministry and bible talk leaders are going through the port as commanded in the scriptures to “see to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many” (Hebrews 12:15). At the same time work on the docks never stops, the heavy lifting by our singles leader Stacy Ybarra who coined the Phrase “Long beach, the greatest city in the world”, and the singles ministry continues to bear fruit as Elpidio Sanchez was baptized Nov 23rd. He is the father of Steve Sanchez. Also Juan Bonillo the father of Emilio, Erika, Mercedes and Jesse Bonilla was baptized this last Sunday. God continues to do great things in the South region as we get ready to load up our next Ship of disciples for who knows what port in the world.
