OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. \u2013 World Missions Ministries\u2019 (WMM) The Awakening is in transition as Rev. Max Barroso tendered his resignation as The Awakening\u2019s Director, effective Jan. 31, 2023, and Rev. Madeline Nix has been appointed as the new Director, effective Feb. 1, 2023.<\/p>\n

The Awakening acts as the arm of IPHC WMM focused on equipping, resourcing, and mobilizing emerging leaders globally through one-on-one mentorship, leadership development, hands-on training, practical internships, short-term mission trips, camps, conferences, church planting and more. As such, The Awakening has modeled youth and young adult ministry at its very best on a global stage.<\/p>\n

Max and his wife Jessica Pickens Barroso birthed the vision of The Awakening on Oct. 1, 2009, and continued to serve faithfully and energetically in the role for fourteen years. Max is without a doubt one of the most intelligent, creative, visionary, and passionate (true to his Argentinian culture\/heritage) ministry leaders that I have had the privilege of serving and serving with over the course of my almost thirty-six-year ministry tenure at the GMC. He is a rare gift and an integral part of WMM\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

The Barroso family, Max, Jessica, Noah, Abigail, and Lucas, will always be viewed as cherished members of our World Missions family, and we pray God\u2019s abundant blessing and anointing over them as they step out in faith to pursue God\u2019s will for their lives and ministries.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Barroso Family, Max, Jessica, Noah, Abigail and Lucas<\/p><\/div>\n

Max\u2019s ability to strategically mentor leaders has proven to be one of his strengths. One of the individuals that he and Jessica have mentored and invested in through the years will now be his successor. It gives me great pride to announce I am appointing Madeline Nix to serve as the Director of The Awakening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a joy and a privilege for Jessica and I to serve our church family in birthing and then leading The Awakening. The Lord has been faithful, and we have seen him do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could think, ask or imagine,\u201d Max Barroso said. \u201cAs he has called us to step into a new season of ministry, we couldn\u2019t be more grateful to see Madeline continue to lead this global ministry team towards its greatest days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those familiar with The Awakening know Madeline well. Her influence, anointing and mentorship have helped to guide and grow the ministry over the course of the past ten years. For those who do not know Madeline, be prepared to meet an exceptionally gifted, anointed, dynamic and humble young lady.<\/p>\n

Madeline is born and bred IPHC (a part of the Mississippi Lafferty family heritage), attended Southwestern Christian University, and married an IPHC young man, Seth Nix. Madeline and Seth are the proud parents of a two-year-old little girl, Galia Nix.<\/p>\n

My wife Stephanie and I have watched Madeline mature into a powerful preacher of the word of God and leader over the course of the past ten years. She is a lady who prays, and I know the Holy Spirit has, and will, empower her as she assumes this trusted mantle of leadership.<\/p>\n

On behalf of her WMM family we welcome Madeline and commit ourselves to ensuring that her vision for The Awakening comes to fruition for the Kingdom\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n

I do believe that the best is still to come for The Awakening!<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n\u00a1Saludos desde Jap\u00f3n!<\/strong>\r\n

SEMBRANDO Y CEGANDO EN CAMBOYA<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCamboya se encuentra entre los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s pobres de Asia, tanto material como espiritualmente. Han pasado cuarenta a\u00f1os desde que Pol Pot y su Khmer Rouge mataron a m\u00e1s de dos millones de personas en un intento de establecer una utop\u00eda agraria comunista, pero el legado de esos a\u00f1os del holocausto todav\u00eda se puede observar en una grave falta de infraestructura, educaci\u00f3n, oportunidades y esperanza. Menos del 1% de los camboyanos conocen a Jesucristo como Se\u00f1or y Salvador.\r\n\r\nEn septiembre, Russell ayud\u00f3 a organizar y dirigir un equipo de ministerio a Camboya para realizar una serie de cl\u00ednicas m\u00e9dicas en varias aldeas. Los miembros del equipo proced\u00edan de Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur, Georgia, Jap\u00f3n y Filipinas.\r\n\r\nLas condiciones eran a menudo r\u00fasticas ya que llev\u00e1bamos a cabo cl\u00ednicas en las iglesias de las aldeas. En un lugar, los funcionarios locales nos obligaron a cerrar. El gobierno budista autoritario vigila de cerca y en ocasiones restringe las actividades de los cristianos.\r\n\r\nEn otras aldeas, las autoridades enviaron polic\u00edas y m\u00e9dicos locales para observarnos, pero estos se fueron impresionados por la experiencia y la amabilidad de nuestro equipo. \u00a1Incluso se unieron al trabajo y nos invitaron a volver!\r\n\r\nLas madres j\u00f3venes estaban agradecidas de recibir vitaminas y medicamentos para las enfermedades de sus hijos, mientras que los ancianos estaban encantados de recibir anteojos para leer. Adem\u00e1s de ofrecer atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica b\u00e1sica y palabras de esperanza y aliento, los miembros del equipo tambi\u00e9n oraron por los pacientes que buscaron su ayuda. \u00a1La oraci\u00f3n es la mejor medicina de todas!\r\n\r\nJunto con el personal m\u00e9dico, tuvimos la bendici\u00f3n de tener un contingente de j\u00f3venes sobresalientes para ministrar a los ni\u00f1os en cada lugar. \u00a1Estamos orgullosos de decir que nuestro nieto Alex fue parte de este din\u00e1mico equipo!\r\n\r\nLos ni\u00f1os disfrutaron jugando juegos al aire libre, haciendo manualidades, escuchando historias b\u00edblicas, aprendiendo canciones del evangelio y \u00a1simplemente divirti\u00e9ndose! Lo mejor de todo es que los ni\u00f1os aprendieron a orarle a Jes\u00fas y tuvieron la oportunidad de ofrecerle sus vidas.\r\n\r\nEn a\u00f1os pasados, hemos invertido tiempo, esfuerzo y financiamiento en viajes similares, ayudando a trabajos pioneros y cavando pozos para aldeas. En este viaje, nos complaci\u00f3 especialmente ver el fruto de estas inversiones en la forma de florecer nuevas iglesias.\r\n

PUNTOS PARA LA ORACI\u00d3N<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\u2022 Ore para que las iglesias en Camboya no sean oprimidas y restringidas en sus actividades, sino que tengan libertad para adorar y difundir el evangelio.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestras iglesias est\u00e1n ayudando a los j\u00f3venes en sus comunidades al ense\u00f1ar ingl\u00e9s y ofrecer capacitaci\u00f3n en computaci\u00f3n. Ore para que los j\u00f3venes est\u00e9n equipados para servir al Se\u00f1or y traer prosperidad a su naci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por el misionero que lidera nuestro trabajo en Camboya, el Rev. Merlen Lamanilao de Filipinas. Ore por su apoyo financiero y por su hija adolescente que pronto se graduar\u00e1 de la escuela secundaria.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por los pr\u00f3ximos viajes a Tailandia y Nepal, por viajes seguros y un ministerio eficaz.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestro apoyo financiero ha disminuido, lo que ha obstaculizado nuestra capacidad para viajar y ministrar. Ore para que nuestro apoyo aumente y considere ayudar a responder a esa oraci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u00a1Gracias por su colaboraci\u00f3n en el evangelio!\r\n\r\nRussell y Sandra Board<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","author_name":"WMM Communications' Office","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/News.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1ow","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
