Empowering Leaders: Luis’ Story

Empowering Leaders, Impacting Generations 

Developing Workers cares for and equips ministry leaders locally, globally and virtually. Like Barnabas joining Paul on his missionary journeys, we walk alongside leaders and pour into them, so they have a genuine heart to disciple the next generation of Christ followers. This week we’re highlighting an example of how Matt Swartz (our Director of Foundations) has been doing this with Luis Garin (a pastor in Mexico).

Matt first met Luis in 2019 at a Foundations Workshop that he was leading in Mexico. After the training, Matt took Luis and a few other men out to dinner. While the other men seemed to check out, Luis leaned in and a relationship between the two was established. Matt took the initiative to mentor Luis. With the availability of technology, Matt is able to meet with Luis regularly which has allowed their relationship to grow. Once a year, Matt goes to Mexico City to coach and invest in Luis’ leadership, and help him think through church planting. 

Both Matt and Luis are now training the church’s leadership on the Foundations Workshops. Because Matt is able to invest deeply in Luis’ life, Luis in turn is having an impact on many others’ walk with the Lord. 

We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with leaders like Luis and for your continued support in making these life-changing relationships possible. Together, we are empowering the next generation of disciple-makers and strengthening churches worldwide.
