DESCRIPTION
News and Events from the Field for Global Freedom Concepts and Cultura FinancieraTRANSCRIPT
Global Freedom Concepts
is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that depends on God’s blessing and on the generosity of partners like you.
When they were challenged
by the pastoral team from
the church, Vida Abundante,
Morelia, Mexico the first
thing they did was jump -
into prayer.
Vida Abun-
dante would
like to join The
Institute for
Financial Cul-
ture by estab-
lishing a Department of
Stewardship Ministries in
their church.
The idea is to create a
“come and see” model
for churches through-
out Latin America and
around the world.
Andres and Rochelle
would head up this
project personally with
a 3 to 5 year commit-
ment.
They will not be leaving
Global Freedom Concepts,
but rather partnering with
Vida Abundante for this
“hands on missions trip”.
The church is a 5,000 mem-
ber congregation, most of
whom are under 35 years of
age. It is youthful, sharp,
vibrant, growing in leaps and
bounds and has a very strong
vision to reach their commu-
nity and the world
for the Lord.
“Our desire it to
teach and train the
Body of Christ in
Latin America to
become good stew-
ards of the re-
sources which God has given
them. Ultimately train them
to be generous and thus fund
the next great wave of mis-
sionaries, which we believe
will be coming from Latin
America. What an awesome,
exciting challenge!” says Ro-
chelle Panasiuk a missionary
kid herself.
After many months of prayer,
at times fasting and the con-
sulting with mentors of
Global Freedom Concepts,
Andres and
Rochelle
accepted the
invitation.
“We are
planning to
move in
June 2012
after our daughter graduates
from high school.” says
Andres Panasiuk, “ the con-
cept of a Stewardship De-
partment in the local church
is still very foreign in Latin
America . We feel called by
God to introduce this minis-
try and trust in the Holy
Spirit for guidance and di-
rection.
Rochelle and I covet your
prayers as we start visiting
churches and talking with
friends about standing with
us for our personal support.”

In light of our
plans to become
“missionaries” to
Mexico
Would you
consider
supporting this
ministry in prayer
and with finances?
“...and He sent them
out giving them
authority…” Mark 6:7
This month Andres Panasiuk
will be teaching in Colombia
from this book.
It is based on
the financial
situations
which the
prodigal son
finds himself.

Money, Money, Money... your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
He doesn't even need money to supply all our needs. Deut. 29:5-6 Moses speaking to the Israelites said “Forty years I lead you through the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out. He gave you food so you would know the He is the Lord your God.” Who is your
provider: Money or God?
If God is our provider then lets us be wise with the “tool” which He has put in our hands and manage it according to His wishes...

We wanted to study God’s Word
on finances. We got the book ….
Finanzas-Familiares– (Spanish
edition by Andres Panasiuk) and
started a small group bible study,
from that we started another and
another.
The bible study groups grew into
a church and now we are 1,500
strong!!
Praise God!

Testimony Broadcasters and Evangelical leaders gather in Paraguay.
During the conference there was a
time where foreign pastors
washed the feet of the indigenous
pastors, reaffirming their desire to
serve the local church. It was a
very moving image.
Almost 5,000 Christian Broadcasters and
Evangelical leaders gathered along side us in
Asunción, Paraguay for the annual confer-
ence -COICOM. We did a workshop on "The
Ten Irrefutable Laws" and a General Session
teaching on "The Path to Permanent Provi-
sion" (emphasizing on the topics of proper
administration and building generosity in the
local church.) What a weekend!
This months events
will lead us through
Colombia, Guatemala,
Costa Rico, England,
Argentina, and finally
Ecuador!
Keep us in your
prayers.
We will report back to
you in December.
“Why is there such a thing as money?” asked the ten year old
boy. People use money to
trade one thing for an-
other. Think about it, if you
wanted something from the
store you would have to give
them something that they
wanted in order to get the
thing that you wanted. That
could get complicated.
Money is a good tool that can
be used for trading.
But, money is just that: a tool. God is our sup-plier. Phil 4:19 says “But my God shall supply all
