Operation Nomad

A Revolutionary Design.
"We are pilgrims and strangers in this world" (1 Peter 2:11)

Many men and women of God end up not using their full potential to serve God for lack of support and encouragement of the church and its leadership. The general trend is to settle down and after a while turn the Christian life in a rut.

But the exhortation of Jesus is that we put, in fact, the hand "the plow" (Lk 9:62). Thinking about it we decided to launch a challenge that could change your life also that of many others who do not yet know the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The NOMAD project arose from the desire to see people committed to the Kingdom of God, who are willing to drop everything for love of God and be used in a special way this day.

The idea is simple and challenging. All you need is available to preach the Gospel and submit to the will of God.

The Martin Luther King Jr., winner of the Nobel Peace always championed the cause he believes and he gave his life for her. One of his most famous phrases is "Because we can not wait." I would make these my words before the great challenge we have to reach the unreached peoples, often forgotten and neglected by the evangelical church.

The Latin American Church is the fastest growing in the world, especially Brazil. Consider some facts:

- Brazil is the first major evangelical church in the world, 35 million and 70 million are in Latin America.
- It is estimated that only in Brazil for 6500 conversions per day and nearly 2 million annually.
- There are over 180,000 churches in Brazil and twice in Latin America.

Yet the number of cross-cultural workers is not proportional. The Latin American Church needs to address the great challenge of these people. Just remember that:

- Of the 24,000 people worldwide, 8,000 have not yet been reached with the Gospel.
- Of the 251 indigenous Brazilians, 118 STILL do not have missionaries.
- Of the 7158 languages in the world, the Bible has not translated to 4,000 of them.
- There are still countries that do not even have a national believer known as: Saudi Arabia, Western Sahara, the Maldives and Qatar.
- Of the 600,000 cities and towns in India, 500 000 STILL do not have Christian workers.
- STILL In China there are 500 million people who have never heard of Jesus.
- FURTHER 85 000 die every day without ever having heard of salvation in Jesus.

You can make these data change. STILL no time!

It also asks how much we are investing in cross-cultural missions?

- Average investment of Brazilian believer is $ 1.30 per year.
- Fewer than 300 of the 180 000 existing churches in Brazil have a missionary working with these unreached peoples of the 10/40 Window and Brazilian Indian tribes.
- Less than 1% of resources are invested in cross-cultural work.
- The same situation occurs in the rest of the Latin American church.

This information is already known to the majority of Brazilian and Latino church leaders because we have shared this personally and through literature, videos, cds, etc..

We have presented a design of a "model church" several leaders so we can double and triple the number of workers among the unreached peoples, but STILL there is a general commitment to reach the lost that are far from us.

Given this framework, we have been campaigning for workers of prayer, asking the Lord of the harvest to send men, sons of ministers and entrepreneurs to be trained because they do not miss living. We have seen that our prayers are answered, but the overwhelming majority responds to this challenge to reach the most difficult and inhospitable places of the earth do not have full support and most of them are women.

Every day people call us wanting to go to unreached areas, but STILL the biggest challenge is the financial support of their pastors and leaders. What to do about this? The words of Martin Luther King Jr. echoed again. He said. "Expect God to do everything while we do nothing that is not faith, is superstition."

There is thus two extreme situations, on the one hand, the thousands who die every day without ever having heard of Christ. Across thousands of people want to talk about this love, but are not sent.

So we decided to make a call not only national but also continental.

Our desire is to know how many candidates would be willing to live a very simple life as a nomad, living in tents in one place, living as soldiers, experiencing different foods, learning different customs such as wearing different clothes, in short, learning to live as people who wish to achieve.

Furthermore, we propose the creation of a common fund, where the needs are decided as a team and the priorities are food and missionary training.

If you are committed to the mission among the unreached and is willing to live in a project like this, working in team and willing to help in fundraising join us.

If you have any support from the church or friends, even a small part or even if he has nothing and his church is not willing to invest this may be your opportunity. We are willing to help you receive training and get to the field.

I would like once more to remember the words of Martin Luther King Jr: "I have a dream". That dream is to see the task of world evangelization in this generation and finished together we meet the Master and hear his words, "good and faithful servant, come and enjoy the joy of the Lord."

We are making an advance registration. Just fill out the information below, if it satisfies the basic requirements:

• to be an active member of an evangelical church
• to be baptized and have at least years to convert
• to be single or married without children
· Take good health and a minimum education of elementary school

For those who are waiting for Peace in Jesus,

Cultural Oddities
CULTURES AND CUSTOMS

Of the many difficulties faced by missionaries in the field, no doubt adapt to local culture and customs are the largest. Some gestures, words, individual values, food, and even the simple act of looking, often leave the newcomer confused. It is therefore required much patience and persistence to adapt to this new way of looking at life, emotions, and to preach the word of God effectively.

From this moment the MEG will provide some facts about culture and customs.


Nepal
In Nepal they believe that loving someone is plotting to entrap him mature, and hate the other is being sincere and cordial to him, thus allowing him to remain in their mediocrity. Based on this, two Nepalese guides who accompanied a missionary couple in the icy mountains Auntim disappeared one morning. They took all the food, water and clothes in cold. Just left the tents and mattresses where they slept. The couple dropped behind the tents, the two missionaries undertook an arduous journey of three days and three nights in unfamiliar terrain. They covered themselves with part of their mattresses, who improvised as jackets. Finally they reached a village. Ali found the two guides who were waiting with a big smile said, "No need to thank."
