Stan plays two different roles in the work God does globally through International Ministries. As a global consultant he spends part of the time engaging directly in leadership training programs—both formal and informal—as a visiting teacher and coach. The rest of the time Stan supports the work of other missionaries and of international partners as part of IM’s home office staff. Whatever the setting, Stan puts his decades of study, learning and mission experience at the service of women and men who are investing their lives in the work of God’s Reign. He loves to see followers of Jesus energized for mission through a fresh encounter with Scripture.

And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 2 TIMOTHY 2:2

“What we did together was re-ally important. I still use that stuff every day!”

The hours with my friend Walter in San Salvador would have been rich and delightful even without that affirmation. It had been years since we were last together, and my friend had nearly died in that time. What a joy it was to see him and to hear his enthusiasm for life and the work of God’s reign! I had the privilege to teach in the seminary where Walter studied, over 25 years ago. The faculty worked together to equip students to be channels of the liberating, redeeming and empowering love of Jesus, especially among those of God’s children that this world sees as poor and unimportant, or fails even to see.

Walter Balmore Orantes in San Salvador, El Salvador

Walter has been a pastor. He continues to be a thoughtful preacher. But his “day job” is currently to work with a Christian ministry that serves poor communities in El Salvador by helping them to recognize their own God-given dignity, to stand on their own feet and to become agents of change rather than objects of charity.

I am excited to see the Spirit of God use Walter as an agent of redemption and transformation. I am thankful that God included me in the team of those he used to equip Walter for this work. And I am grateful for your support that enables me to continue to equip others today!
