Baptism ~ Do you remember when you were baptized? The day you publicly professed that Jesus Christ was your Lord and Savior. What a joy it is for us to be invited to attend these special celebrations of new-birth in Christ. Earlier in August, we were blessed to travel to an area north of El Peñol where the Igleico church of Itagüi baptized four new believers. As always, it was wonderful to hear their testimonies in how Christ had transformed their lives, and they were excited about publicly professing their belief and personal relationship with Jesus.
Please pray for these new believers and that they will continue to draw closer to Jesus each day and boldly share with others about their new eternal Hope they have in Jesus Christ
August - Missions Month in Colombia
Many of the 700+ IGLEICO churches united themselves during the "Month of Missions". It was our first opportunity in Colombia to publicly share about our call to serve God and the reasons for which we are here.
Please pray for those that God is calling, and pray for IGLEICO as they seek to prepare and send them.
Our English classes continue on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We've incorporated songs, games and some "friendly" competition. It has been and continues to be one of the ways that God is building our relationships with each other. This team has been such a blessing to us.
The Williams Family is coming! We are so excited to be growing our OMS family here in Medellín, and we must confess that we are also looking forward to having some English speakers here too. For the first month they will be temporarily packed into a 2 bedroom apartment as they explore the area and look for additional housing options.
Please pray for this precious family and that God would bind us all together with His abundant love.
And please pray for them as they adjust to a new city, new country, and new ministry.
IGLEICO Baby Shower
Jhon Edwar, IGLEICO treasurer and his wife, Melissa, are expecting their first child in October. Events like this is such a good way to learn culture and share in lots of laughter. Jhon is also our pastor where we are attending church.
Please pray for them as they get ready to welcome their new little boy.
September 5-10 Cindy flies to Bogotá this Saturday to help with an OMS-Dynamic Women's Conference in Boyacá for pastor's wives and women leaders in the church.
September 10-15 Kent Eller - National Director of Men for Missions arrives with 3 other team members. We will be visiting with Igleico leadership to discuss how MFM might be able to better support their ministries and future plans. We will also be visiting some areas of ministry, as well as some 2nd and 3rd generation house churches that have resulted from previous MFM Evangelism teams.
September 15 ~ The Williams family arrives. Please pray for them as they adjust to a new city, new country, and new ministry.
Evangelism team coming October 17-24 has room for you! Please consider joining this team.
During our team devotion, we were all sharing how God provides for us. We are continually overwhelmed by how God touches hearts on our behalf and provides 100% of everything we need.
