The Briefing October 2024
Dear Friends,
I’m excited to write to you for the first time and share what’s happening with us and the NAMS Network. Today, I’m pleased to introduce our new chapter!
You may be wondering who I am! My name is Josep Rossello, and I’m honored to announce that the NAMS Companions and Sisters have chosen me to be the next Servant General, following in the footsteps of the Rev. Canon Dr. Jon C. Shuler. This transition will take place on November 1st. Jon and I are excited to team up for this new chapter!
This year has brought many wonderful ministry opportunities and exciting new endeavors! Here are some highlights I’d love to share with you:
Our Community
NAMS currently has 32 Companions and Sisters and 26 Postulants (candidates) serving the Lord and His Church around the world.
Mission Bases and New Churches
Our Mission Bases have been actively training church planters across the USA, the UK, India, Thailand, Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, Spain, Brazil, and Venezuela. So far in 2024, we’ve launched 36 new churches, and we look forward to planting even more next year! We are committed to helping churches grow stronger in disciple-making.
New Partnerships and Publications
We’re excited about the new global partnerships we’ve established. We’ve also launched a new magazine and are continuing to publish our podcast! Coming soon is an exciting new book by Jon Shuler titled "The Cycle of Discipleship."
Thank you so much for your prayers and support for NAMS over the years! Your faithfulness has made a positive impact on countless lives.
Your friend on a mission with Christ,
Bishop Josep Rossello
Servant General Designated

Our Brazilian outpost is assisting with the planting of five new churches across four states. Additionally, ten candidates are completing their applications to become Companions next year. Please pray with us for the new NAMS Outpost in Brazil.
