Thank you for your prayers for while our team of 58 North Americans and close to 200 Colombians, partnered together to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Colombians located in Barranquilla. We had an awesome and fruitful time evangelizing and disciplining new believers. The fields in this area are so very ripe for the harvest, and the people are so open and hungry to hear about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. I had the opportunity to join this team which was being led by the mission: e3 Partners. This was a great opportunity for me to learn more about their mission organization, as our mission (One Mission Society) continues to determine how we might be able to partner with e3, as OMS has a goal to plant 20,000 house churches in the next 5 years within the state of Antioquia, ColombiaSome of the details from last week's trip includes:
- People Hearing the Gospel – 2,148; Professions of Faith in Christ – 1,578
- Churches Plants in 12 Communities; Churches Strengthened in Church Planting - 12
- DeafGo Ministry Team - Amazing work among deaf communities!
- Yo Soy Segundo/I am Second (Disciple) Groups – 70
- Medical Patients Treated in 4 Barrios – 517
- Dental Patients Treated in 4 Barrios – 40
- Community Transformation Training – 4 Barrios (Mesolandia/La Paz/La Chinita/Ferry)
- North Americans – 56 team members mobilized
- Colombians from Cali, Colombia – 2
- Colombians from Barranquilla region including translators – 150 to 175 estimated
Thank you again for sustaining me and the others with your prayers. It is an honor to be able to serve the Lord in this capacity!
