When Ruth Siemens founded Global Opportunities now Global Intent, in the 80’s after a few decades of being a tentmaker pioneer in the Spanish-speaking world, little did she know that in 2021, our focus would once again turn to Spanish speaking people. I am sure she is smiling from heaven in seeing her work continuing under Phill Sandahl’s leadership.

Here is the report from Phill Sandahl, Director of Global Intent:

Global Intent in Latin America

We are most excited about expanding training into Spanish for Latin America.

• When I joined Global Intent over a decade ago it was not clear that my background working in Spanish in Latin America had any relevance for the job I am doing now. Now we can look back and realize it was part of God’s preparation for this new initiative. Isn’t God amazing the way he makes things work together?
• Those of you who have been with us for a long time will remember that Ruth Siemens, our founder, began her career teaching in Peru and later Brazil.
• She had a real heart for the people of Latin America and must be smiling to see us doing more training in Latin America.
• Before joining Global Intent I spent the first decades of my ministry in Latin America. I love working with Spanish-speaking people. I still have family ministering there.
• In 2019 we held 2 on-site trainings in Latin America – one in Cuba and one in San Jose, Costa Rica. Next year we begin online training in February. Hopefully we will be able to do more on-site training by the end of the year.
• God is opening doors and partnerships to help Latinos become tentmakers and participate in the global movement. Thank you for helping make that happen.
