The newly launched member missions program is alive and well in Florida. Many churches have already sent members to South America. Others are in the middle of planning for members to take trips. Some ideas for your program include classes, personal testimonies, pictures of every disciple, exchange of ministers, heart to heart and face-to-face interaction, individual correspondence (pen pals).  Special days of fasting and praying could be set. We want every member to know what their gift is and how their gift can help encourage the disciples in South America.  

These South America churches desperately need training, inspiration, and relationships.  An appropriate characterization of the ‘pairing' relationship is that of adopted adult children.  This means we don't have to restrict funds, but rather we are in a relationship. The goal is for each domestic congregation to make sure that the needs of their "adopted" foreign church are being adequately met. Another way to help is by evaluating their needs, doing everything possible to send the needed finances there, and then spending these finances in a useful and productive way.
