Hello friends!

We wish to share a new video with you, with updated information about our missionary ministry in the Basque Country and among the minority language peoples of Europe. We also send a "Faith Promise Offering" card to invite you to be part of our support team, if you feel God is placing this desire in your heart.

Thank you very much for your prayers and support. 

Blessings!

 Dear Friends,

We hope you are well, and we thank God for your lives.

This month of November was very special because of the various celebrations we had. One of them was the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the World Missions Network in Argentina where we work in unity and cooperation with churches, training centers and sending agencies. By the grace of God every year there are more field workers, this movement continues to grow and especially towards the least reached everywhere. We also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the school of mission and church planting where Carlos is a teacher. We thank God that every year new leaders, new pastors and field workers continue to come out to different latitudes with a vision of blessing the nations, bringing glory to the name of our Lord and defeating evil by advancing the Kingdom of God.

This month Carlos was able to teach about the mission to the students of the Faculty of Integral Theology with a call to serve God beyond our own borders, be they cultural, social, linguistic and ethnic. He too could be preaching in a church in Buenos Aires.

One of our sons Daniel Scott, his wife Marta and his son Iker are returning to serve in the Basque Country starting in March of next year. They were in Spain for more than 12 years and were able to plant two churches in the Basque Country. Now they are coming back to continue the church planting movement in the heart language of the Basques which is Euskera. Pray for them so that God strengthens them integrally, also for our grandson Iker that God brings healing to his autism condition and that God provides all the necessary resources for this new stage. You can see his presentation that is subtitled in English at: PAÍS VASCO 2023 - Familia Scott Rizzo (English subtitles)

Please continue to pray for us that God will give us wisdom and guide us in forming a new Church Planting Movement. We pray for you and we love you. Thank you very much for being united, forming a great team and feeling that we are part of a single church. God be praised for all this

With a Strong and Big Hug,

Carlos and Alicia Scott

Dear Friends,

We thank God for all the time we have shared with the Elmbrook Church community. We thank God for all the love and service of each one of you. Thank you again for accompanying us in this process and being united with you to bless the nations, extend the Kingdom of God and that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be recognized and adored. We have felt from each of you a true caress to the heart. We pray for all of you

This month of November presents some challenges such as teaching in a Christian university about the mission and also preaching in churches. We continue writing to deliver the daily devotionals for the year 2023 for different Christian expressions in different Latin American countries. Keep praying for us so that God gives us freshness in each presentation, and we can serve each church and missionary movement in the best way. Pray that God will strengthen us spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Once again, thank you very much for being next to each other and showing together the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

With a strong and big hug,

Carlos and Alicia Scott

 

Sharing our Lifes

Dear Friends,

We give thanks to God for his life's and for the work you do for all the people of God and the extension of your Kingdom. 

We want to share our vision, passion and work in the past years, the present and what we hope to continue doing in the future.

One of the characteristics we have as fieldworkers is that God has used us to be facilitators, mobilizers, mentors, educators, and train others for opening doors and establishing beachheads for holistic ministry around the world. 

God allowed us to train and equip other field workers who are serving in different parts of the world. Some of them have planted churches and carry out a holistic ministry. For security reasons we cannot write their names. 

In all this we give the Glory to God, and we are simply a bridge for others to serve their generation according to God's purpose.  

We hope that this relationship continues to grow taking the WHOLE gospel to the WHOLE person and promote human flourishing in the name of Christ not just for individuals but for the community in which they live.

We served in Latin America in the missionary movement plus Spain (22 countries) coming to see more than 9,000 workers in the countryside between the years of 1999 to 2009. Today it is estimated that there are more than 18000 workers where it is estimated that 35% work among peoples and ethnic groups less reached and not evangelized. You, my dear brothers, are part of this great achievement for the glory of God. 

God has united us; we see His mighty hand and His Kingdom comes. We see miracle after miracle in the midst of our weakness and fragility. You are our brothers, fellow workers and fellow soldiers and are part of this move of God. You are at our side like a soldier with another soldier. Back-to-back and the enemy cannot untwist where one begins and where the other ends. We are together and united, rejoicing and suffering for the same. Ahead.

We ask that you continue to pray for us, for our children and grandchildren. May generation after generation remain the legacy of following and our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for our physical, emotional and spiritual health. Pray for God to give us discernment and wisdom at all times and free us from all temptation. We love you and pray for you all.

Dear Friends

We hope you are well and encouraged in the Lord You are in our hearts and prayers and thank you very much for everything you do in favor of the People of God and the extension of his Kingdom in all nations. This month of September was very special and challenging. We were able to teach the youth at the church planting school in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. Afterwards we were able to work and reflect on the mission with the pastors and leaders who are in the south of Argentina. Carlos later traveled to Chile and came back very enthusiastic. He was in the cities of Santiago and Concepción teaching, sharing and reflecting on the mission for a new time that God is presenting to us. Carlos was able to have very good meetings with pastors, leaders, workers and churches. We thank God who takes care of us in everything. Our son Daniel and his wife Marta together with their son Iker will return to the Basque Country next year to continue with the mission of planting new churches where Basque communities can be blessed, God can receive glory and evil can be destroyed through progress of the Kingdom of God. Pray for them and especially for Iker in his Autistic condition This month of October will also be challenging and we will be able to see many of you at Harvestfest. Meanwhile we continue teaching and preparing some materials for the commitments in the month of November. Pray for our emotional, physical and spiritual health. May God free us from all evil and give us spiritual freshness at all times. Thank you very much for joining us in prayer and being together in God's Mission.

With a strong and big hug

Rethinking Seminary Education - Lausanne Movement: I have become increasingly aware of concerns about the nature and suitability of preparing future church leaders through ‘traditional’ theological training.[1] In my work at Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS) I have met many church leaders from around the world, and it is clear that many of them are asking similar questions, especially in…

Church Metaphors for Metamorphosis | Lausanne Movement: The church is much more than just a collection of individuals who claim to be disciples of, witnesses to, and believers in Jesus Christ. The church as a whole is a significant entity.

Business as Mission - Lausanne Movement

Business as Mission - Lausanne Movement: As Dallas Willard once said, ‘Business is a primary moving force of the love of God in human history.’ Business, done well, is glorifying to God and has enormous potential to do good in society. Business has an innate God-given power to create dignified jobs, to multiply resources, to provide for families and communities, and…

The Critical Role of Christian Artists and Musicians in Missions - Lausanne Movement: World evangelization cannot happen without empowering arts ministry practitioners and imaginative expression specialists.

What do we do with this village of people who now know the Lord as…

The Arts Are Not a Universal Language - Lausanne Movement

The Arts Are Not a Universal Language - Lausanne Movement: Christians in every culture must be empowered to engage with God through their own artistic expressions. In recent years, the church has adopted many strategies for its role in God’s mission. Academic fields such as anthropology, linguistics, and education have provided the intellectual background for such approaches. This article establishes how God values beauty as…
