Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To introduce and reconcile individuals, families and communities to Christ.

To plant and establish churches among communities where Christ is not known.

To disciple and train current believers and new emerging generations with a passion and vision to reach others for Christ both locally and around the world.

To respond to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those who find themselves in dire, hopeless situations of life both personally and as a community.

Foremost to keep the vision, value and culture of church multiplication and the expansion of a movement around the world among existing churches and members.

To always be looking outside the four walls of the church into the communities and individuals close by reaching them with the message of Christ introducing them to the message of God's love.

To continue expanding the movement of church planting multiplication in South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

To raise up the next generation leaders through the various training institutes in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Spain, Africa and Italy.

To mobilize individuals within the movement and other partnering churches who are in partnership with us. To respond to social issues and needs such as children, heath quakes, oppressed women, youth at risk, etc. offering practical programs and solutions meeting basic needs of individuals and communities who don't have the resources and programs to advance forward in life.

Furthermore to live out our values day in and day out which reflect the spirit of IAM:

Great Commission:
Viewing our calling and the calling of others through the lens of fulfilling His mission to reach all peoples.

Kingdom Focus:
Build relationships and partnerships in a way that leverages the strengths of multiple organizations for optimum Kingdom impact.

Relationships:
We value relationships which honor God in a spirit of integrity, unity and servant leadership with each other.

Stewardship:
Make the most to steward relationships, opportunities and resources displaying a spirit of excellence which honors God and attracts others.

Strategic:
Committed to staying on the cutting edge of strategic execution of plans, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us in our efforts to do that which will produce much fruit for His Glory.

A clear sense of vision, mission and purpose throughout the organization which drives and brings together the movement with a clear calling to live out and fulfill the Great Commission.

A track record of thousands of lives reached and transformed as well as numerous churches planted and successfully growing in multiple countries in South America, Africa, Middle East and Europe. This provides a source of people and physical resources for expanding the movement of reaching people with God's love, planting new additional churches and responding in practical ways to social causes and issues affecting communities.

Connected to a broad network of influencers, partnership churches in North America and Europe as well as other organizations who share the common vision and mission to expand God's Kingdom among the most needy of this world. These relationship and partnerships makes available broad resources of people, finances and other programs to work together cross culturally as one to bring the message of hope, reconciliation and love of God to those who today are not reached.

The impact and reach IberoAmerican Ministries has had is:

Directly working among various nations: 37
Disciples equipped an trained: 23,000
Churches planted throughout various countries: 34
Bringing relief and help to the oppressed: 55,000
Various social projects: 23

The aim of IAM is to continue expanding it's reach into other countries in South America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The vision and passion to expand and grow is strong and vibrant, the number of emerging leaders and teams trained is also growing. One of the greater challenges the sending churches are facing is the reality of having enough finances to support new future workers and projects. Trying to figure out the right model around business / missions and how a stronger financial support can be provided is still in process.
