Mission StatementThe mission of Camino Global is to make disciples of Jesus Christ, serving among and with Spanish

speakers globally.

Values that Shape our Vision––––––– Christ-likeness ––––––

(Rom. 12:2; Phil. 2:5-8; Eph. 5:1-2)

Christ-likeness is the life-long process of being transformed into the image of Christ for the glory of God and for the sake of others. We strive to imitate Christ’s humility, suffering, and self-sacrifice to serve others in all that we are and all that we do. The cornerstone of this process is dependence on God expressed through worship, prayer, and meditating

on His Word.

–––––––– Community ––––––––(Matt. 22:37-38; Phil. 2:2; 1 Thess. 2:1-12)

Community is our commitment to authentic, loving relationships in submission to one another. Due to our relationship to Christ as the Head of the Church, we will connect with one another, love each other, and

commit ourselves to unity amidst diversity.

––––––– Collaboration –––––––(John 17:22-23; Acts 16:5; Acts 1:8)

Empowered by the Holy Spirit as Christ’s witnesses, we will globally connect with others, steward resources, and identify opportunities to advance the gospel together. In pursuit of a shared vision, we will proactively develop relationships with churches, organizations, and believers of all ethnicities and

nationalities.

––––––––– Compassion ––––––––(Luke 10:25-37; James 2:15-17; Mic. 6:8)

Our approach to the needs of a broken world will be holistic as a practical expression of discipleship. Compelled by the compassion of Christ, we will see and care for the needs of the whole person, loving unconditionally and giving of ourselves for others.

––––––––– CREATIVITY –––––––––(Gen. 1-2; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 4:11-13)

As a reflection of the image of God, creativity embraces the full spectrum of spiritual giftedness in the body of Christ. We are committed to approach ministry challenges in new ways by exercising flexibility and risk-taking in response to God’s leading. Built on a foundation of unchanging truth, we will constructively engage new ideas generated in an environment of

innovation.

Santos stood in front of the small gathering and invited them to open their Bibles to 1 Peter 2:2. As he began his sermon, the first-year seminary student compared the growing Christian to a new baby — an apropos comparison

given the handful of babies among the forty or so people that morning. The reading for the day talked of babies craving milk, an object lesson some of the mothers understood well, even as a few nursed their babies during the service. Santos had chosen a reading that would speak to this group and make sense in their context. And their context is not like anything most of us ever experience.

I was visiting this small church that gathers each Sunday under a metal roof in the open air, nestled among banana trees and other native trees in Siguatepeque, Honduras. Dogs, chickens, and a few vocal roosters were there. Several of the families who attend — many of them single mothers with a few children — earn money by retrieving recyclable materials from the city dump and selling it. Though most of the kids are learning to read, some of the parents still need to learn, or at best only made it through the sixth grade. Still, they were there, eager to hear God’s word taught, and Santos was learning how to reach them effectively.

Camino missionaries Tim and Julie Nelson have come to this congregation to serve alongside the Honduran pastor who began work to plant this church after he took some of his trash to the dump one day and saw the incredible need in that community. Tim — who also serves at the Honduran Bible Seminary (SEBCAH) — was evaluating Santos on this preaching assignment. One of the main areas of focus was determining if this aspiring pastor could preach on a level the congregation could understand. For this group, that was effectively a third grade level. From my perspective, he did this job well — impressively so for a twenty-two year old first-year student.

As I reflected on that morning, something stuck in my mind. A reality that I think is lost on many of us. While there is value in and a need for deep knowledge of Scripture and doctrine, that is only part of the picture of equipped believers. Had Santos preached a message that carefully dissected a passage of Scripture, delving into nuance of translation and historical context, he would no doubt have impressed some people that day. But he ultimately would have lost them and missed a chance to truly build up a body of believers, or reach earnest seekers with the truth of the gospel. They would have left no more equipped than the roosters crowing in the background that morning.

In order to effectively equip believers, we must reach people in their context, and we need to teach the next generation of church leaders to do the same. They have to be equipped to learn God’s Word and teach it to others, but they also may need help getting equipped for life, to provide for themselves and their family. I witnessed on many occasions on my recent trip to Honduras that Camino Global missionaries are doing this. It’s been a part of the DNA for over a hundred years, and Camino remains focused on doing so as a core of its vision.

For this issue of Camino Magazine, including the gift catalog you will find in the final pages, we have chosen to focus on that element of vision: Equip Believers. I invite you to read the featured article, browse through the gift catalog, and get a sense of the varied forms of equipping in which Camino missionaries are engaged. God is truly doing some amazing things in his church around the world. Camino has been blessed to play a small role in that work — and your generous partnership has made that possible.

May God continue to multiply equipped believers among Spanish speakers, and through those believers reach the world with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Christ,

Jeremy WileyDirector of Stewardship

Guatemala office opened on July 21, 2014Camino Global took an historic step forward in globalization on Tuesday, July 21. Friends of Camino and Camino missionaries gathered for the official grand opening of the International Office of Global Ministries, located in Guatemala City.

“This is an actualization of the mission to serve the needs of the church in a more effective way — not only in Guatemala, or in Latin America, but also in any place where the Spanish-speaking church exists,” said David Ruiz in his address.

around the world

Spain abortion law reform Sept 25, 2014. Spain’s streets have been filled with dueling demonstrations in recent months: Women’s groups arguing for abortion rights. Church groups lobbying for more restrictions on the procedure.

Facing re-election next year, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy reversed himself this week and scrapped the abortion ban, after a months-long delay in parliament. His justice minister resigned and is quitting politics altogether. Women’s groups that support abortion rights declared victory.

The demonstrators accuse Rajoy of breaking his campaign promise to his base of conservative voters. “I voted for something ... and now they are not going to do it. And I don’t understand why,” says Maria Abellenas, 34. “Because it’s about the right to life. There is nothing more important than that.”

Persecution of evangelicals in MexicoAug 9, 2014. An official in the Hidalgo state government has made public statements defending religious freedom violations, including barring children from attending primary school because of their religious beliefs and threats of expulsion, in the village of Tepeolel according to reports by the La Jornada newspaper.

At least one Protestant child has been barred from attending primary school because of his refusal to convert to Catholicism, and 17 families are at risk of being expelled from their village, located in the municipality of Huejutla los Reyes. The group of Pentecostals from the Huastec indigenous group have been threatened by village officials in the village of Tepeolel because of their refusal to participate in, or contribute to Roman Catholic religious festivals

The rocking chair gently creaked as Dr. Blue sat in motion. We talked in a corner of guest housing at SETECA, reflecting on the events

of the previous three days. “If they do even a fraction of what they discussed, it will revolutionize theological education in Latin America.”

Dr. Blue has weathered more than a few years in the world of theological education. Not only did he serve as Camino’s president from 1992-2000, but he has also served since then with Dallas Theological Seminary’s doctor of ministry collaborative study with Seminario Teológica Centroamericana (SETECA). Blue has seen men and women from Latin America graduate from doctoral studies, equipped to lead the body of Christ in truth and wisdom.

Coming TogetherBlue had attended Camino’s Critical Issue Summit on Theological Education that week at the end of July, where twenty-six leaders from thirteen seminaries had gathered to discuss challenges and opportunities faced by seminaries in Latin America and Spain. Directors, deans, and administrators came from evangelical seminaries in Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Argentina, Panama, El Salvador, Spain, and the U.S.

Many of them met for the first time. For three days they compared notes with the beautiful backdrop of Antigua, Guatemala flourishing behind them. The lush foliage of a country wrapped in eternal spring provided a perfect environment for retreat, where these laborers could clear their minds and reflect.

“If they do even a fraction of what they discussed, it will revolutionize theological education in Latin America.”

The event was called ‘historic,’ and truly it was. For a century, Camino has built up seminaries, which have dotted Central America. For forty years, Spain has been in that category, also. But each of these institutions has operated in isolation of each other. Never before have they convened. Never before have they come together to address the gaps in education. Never before have they come together to fellowship and share each other’s burdens, letting go of competition.

Each presented to the group a brief introduction of their seminary, sharing stories of the students, talking scope and sequence of curriculum, and ultimately celebrating God’s faithfulness through their institutions.

Several sessions were dedicated to lecture, where the group was challenged in an area of education. David Ruiz, Vice President of Global Ministries at Camino, exhorted the group with these words, “We need to work more harmoniously to develop a form of theological education that is more contextualized to [Latin-America’s] reality, which responds to the urgent needs of the church and, in particular, which allows us to contribute and produce a reflective theological community,” as opposed to depending on models of theology and church structure from the North America and Europe.

a successful business; it was supporting his family well. Then, a church in a nearby town gave him a call, inviting him to pastor their church. The move would result in a deep pay cut. It was a crisis of faith for Trujillo and his wife. They put it before God, trusting him to cover the short-fall. God came through for them time and time again. From there, Trujillo’s journey of reliance on God’s care took him even into his time when he became the director of the seminary.

Making HistoryAs these and others gathered at the Summit, it was clear that their burden was to see the body of Christ equipped to lead. And so, these men of faith wrestled with the challenges before them, which ultimately boiled down to these three realities: 1) the divorce of theological institutions from the needs of the church, 2) the need for curriculum to propel students into caring for the needs of the surrounding community, and 3) the obligation of students and seminaries to lead the church in engaging with their communities again.

At the end of the Summit, all agreed to 24 commitments that the group had drafted as a result of their discussions. Commitments to focus their curriculum on reaching the world, and to help their students develop a balance between theology and ministry. Commitments to establish shared resource banks, which would help the institutions that still have need for materials. Commitments to amplify the influence of students in their communities in order to “serve a society with great spiritual, moral, and social needs”; to prepare students who are sensitive to the needs of the church; to teach students to adapt to different contexts of ministry. Twenty-one signatures stand behind these resolutions and more.

As the weekend ended, men who had been strangers just a few days prior exchanged abrazos, hugged a brother and fellow laborer, and left with a greater sense of connection to the work of the Kingdom. Reflecting on the event afterward, Dr. Blue remarked, “Now we’re one family. We’ve all gotten to know each other, respect one another, trust one another, open up to one another, and very desirous to make something happen for the glory of God.”

As Dr. Blue’s rocking chair creaked in the corner of guest housing that Saturday night, he resonated with the passion that is characteristic for him, reflecting on the transformational potential of this meeting. If the issues addressed at the Summit found actionable items for improvement, “that could be very revolutionary,” he said. “And that could continue to grow with more ideas and more applications and more actions… and multiply. [So] we pray like mad. We say, ‘Lord don’t let this grow into just another little society that makes no difference’ — we just enjoy each other for a week and then go our merry ways and do nothing. No. And the average person doesn’t want that either. They’re ready to go!”

Jonathan Deatherage lives with his family in Richardson, Texas, and serves in the Communications Department at Camino Dallas.

Bringing Faith to the TableAfter each session, the rest of the attendees did the important work of processing, discussing, and synthesizing the ideas presented. Each man sitting around the tables came to the conference with a unique story. Take, for example, Philip Negra, a Chinese-Panamanian, who directs a small Bible institute in Panama for Chinese pastors. His school has a unique niche in theological education. Negra explained to the group that Chinese churches — even all throughout Latin America — all have such a unique cultural feel that students are trained not only in theology and Bible but also in Chinese history and culture. Though the seminary in Panama operates in Spanish, Mandarin is not far from many tongues. Chinese-Panamanians are seeing similar generational issues that Chinese-Americans face: Transitions of cultural adherence from the country of origin to the country of migration. Thus, Negra’s seminary is wise enough to instruct pastors-to-be in the fine art of balancing cultural considerations for each generation.

Then there was Raphael Vargas, known to all as “Tico.” Vargas grew up in Chimaltenango, near Guatemala Bible Seminary. As a teenager, he was drawn into the ministry of GBS through a soccer camp that one of the faculty put on after school. As Vargas was exposed to the gospel, he received Christ in a conversation with Lisa Johnson, daughter of Camino missionaries Wilfred and Shirley Johnson. He told the group, “I praise God that he brought missionaries to my country. I also praise him that those missionaries brought their daughters.” Ten years after his conversion, Vargas married Lisa.

In a one-on-one interview, Vargas recounted the time when he assumed the role of director at GBS in 2007. Funds were getting low. Teacher salaries were coming up, and there was not enough to pay them all. Instead of scrambling in fear, Vargas simply ask God where he was going to provide the short-fall. In those days, he took comfort in Jesus’ comment to the synagogue ruler in Mark 5:36, whose daughter was nearing death: “Do not be afraid; just believe.” It stuck with Vargas. “Do not be afraid; just believe.” Exactly one day before salaries were due, Vargas met with a friend and supporter of the seminary. Over lunch, the man said to him, “You know, this might sound strange to you, but this morning I left my home feeling like I would need to give you a gift.” He wrote a check. It was exactly what they needed. Vargas held his poise until he got back to his car by himself. He got in and screamed, “Thank you, God!” From that point on, Vargas has been convinced that God is the one who owns the seminary, and he is the one that is going to provide. Money issues have still come up, but Vargas’ perspective in faith has helped him stay the course as he puts it in front of God in prayer to wait for him to act as he sees fit.

Luis Trujillo’s story wasn’t very different from Vargas’s. Trujillo is the director of Puebla Bible Seminary in Puebla, Mexico. His soft-spoken, unassuming demeanor reflected a deep trust in God’s faithfulness to guide him through every difficult decision. After graduating from seminary, Trujillo had started

for missionaries on the field—health plan management, mail

services, member care, and much more. It also provides funds to

mobilize new cross-cultural servants to reach Spanish speakers

globally.

Your partnership with our vision by designating your gift

to the global ministry of Camino enables Camino leadership to

boldly expand ministry as God leads into new opportunities.
