If you have followed us for a while you know that a major part of our ministry model is training up teams in different countries around the world that can reproduce the Catalyst System. We spend time training these teams while we’re in country, and we continue to meet with them via Zoom to equip them as they prepare to start new networks or lead catalytic gatherings of their own. I wanted to share 3 stories with you from the past month that highlight this aspect of our ministry.
We just finished up a three year project in Southern Brazil. During that time we led five Catalyst Communities, trained two teams to reproduce the Catalyst System, and supported them as they led two additional Catalyst Communities.

We recently led two Catalyst Communities through our newly trained regional teams in Pelotas and Curitiba. You can find those updates at TakingNewGround.org/blog.

Last week I wrote to you about training our first regional team in Southern Brazil in the city of Pelotas. As soon as we finished in Pelotas we travelled to the city of Curitiba, to finish training our second regional team for the country.
Pastor Martin and his son-in-law Pastor Pablo were invited to Catalyst Community #2 in Port Alegre Brazil in March, 2022. It was an impactful experience for them, and they realized it could be the tool they needed to re-energize church planting in their home town of Pelotas, so they asked if it was possible for us to lead a Catalyst Community there.
