Argentina, Albania and Adios Florida

Argentina – Marie attended a global gathering of our digital missionaries

We listened with rapped attention as missionary after missionary shared how God is opening doors for them to reach people for Christ using digital tools around the world, especially also in places that we traditionally have limited mission activity due to opposition. Sammy from Ethiopia told how their small little team led a social media campaign for one month, inviting people to an event where they would train people how to do evangelism. Twelve thousand people showed up!

I taught two training sessions and just enjoyed the interactions and also the great Argentinian food and tango!

Albania – Stefan joined our Eastern European church planters for planning and training

It’s been a roller coaster two weeks as I have been connecting with our church planting leaders across Europe. We were discussing training of churches, the challenge of a post-Christian/post-modern society and the lingering results of communism on the church today. We concluded that God is at work, even though it is harder here to see fruit than in other parts of the world. We look forward to seeing how God will use our strategies to see the harvest come in.

Adios Florida – Goodbye Florida for the next few months

We left the hot and humid Florida for sunny South Africa. We look forward to connecting with our family and ministry partners over the next two months. We hope to make some stops in the Vaal Triangle, Secunda, Cape Town, Durban and Gauteng and it would be lovely to see as many of you as possible.

Wow! You can watch the “I am” series now

We have often spoken about the Jesus Film, the most viewed and
most translated film based on the Gospel of Luke.  But there is a new
film available! It is a dramatization of the Gospel of John and is
produced by one of our partners. 

On the Jesus Film Project website and app, it is available as the full
film and in 49 segments.  The segments are short, anywhere from 2
to 7 minutes long. 

As Easter approaches, as a family, we’ve been watching a segment
each day of the “I am” series. It’s been powerful and the short
questions afterwards have sparked good conversation with the
children. It really brings John’s gospel to life in a new and
meaningful way. 

We’d like to challenge you to use this Gospel of John film series in
your devotions in the days leading up to Easter.  We pray that you
find fresh insights into the meaning of Easter.

Alternatively, you can download the Jesus Film App on your phone
or tablet. Here is what the Gospel of John looks like on the Jesus Film
App.  
Prayer Requests: During Easter our missionaries will have many
outreaches, both through face-to-face interactions and on-line
efforts. Please pray that many will be drawn to Jesus through these
events. Marie departs for Argentina tomorrow where she will attend a global meeting of our digital missionaries. Pray for fruitful
interactions and that the Lord will accelerate our efforts to equip
many to use digital tools to spread the gospel.

May you have a special Easter as we celebrate the Risen Lord! Thank you for your part in ensuring the Easter message is spread through
our work.

We appreciate you.
Stefan and Marie Dell
