Dear Prayer Warriors,

Pictured above is the evangelism team that arrived in May. For all but one, this was a return trip to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

To date, we have welcomed 6 evangelism teams to Colombia this year. We have trained several Satura Facilitators to receive teams, as well as coordinated with 22 pastors and their leadership teams to continue the work of evangelism and discipleship. Together we have shared the Gospel with approximately 2000 people so far this year, and have 5 more teams scheduled this year. Please pray that God's word will not return void. Pray that He continues to care for the seeds that have been planted. 

We recognize that the fruits of this ripe harvest, as well as the number of workers that are helping with the harvest, are a result of years of faithful prayer warriors. The Colombian church has been and continues to be passionate and committed to praying for the lost. We thank each one of you who stand in the gaps of this work with your prayers. God continues to bless us with abundant provisions and fruit. 

Serving the Lord together,
Doug & Cindy
 
Thank you for your prayers as little Jude Haldon came into this world. We made a quick trip to Illinois in between teams to shower this precious one with grandparent love.
 Please continue to pray for our family.
David started his new position as a correctional officer with Peoria County which is quite an adjustment for the new daddy and his family. 
Within days of our return from the states, we welcomed a team from Paxton, IL. We are very thankful to our supporting churches that invest in sending people from their church to actively be a part of the ministries that they support with their finances and prayers. 
It's our prayer that each one returns with a greater passion to serve the Lord at home.

One of our most Frequently Asked Questions is, "What do you do when teams are not here?"
  1. The first couple of days, we rest & reflect! Taking time to process all that God has done and have a debrief time with the Satura Coordinator.
  2. Then we catch up on being "gone" for a week with the team.  You know the fun things like laundry, housework, financial reports, emails, etc.
  3. We are always preparing for the next teams.  Some of this includes: visiting pastors & churches, calculating team and evangelism material costs, hosting translator events, money exchanges, preparing and sending team welcome emails with church profiles, ordering and paying for bibles for distribution, making hotel reservations and paying deposits for hotels, reserving and paying for team transportation, tourism, scheduling translators, etc.
  4. We try to stay connected with family, friends, headquarters and supporters with phone calls and updates.
Before we know it, we're on a bus to the airport again to receive the next team. 
1. Praising the Lord for Jude and the time we had to visit family.

2. Praising the Lord for His mighty hand of protection and provision for us and our team members.  

3.  Praising the Lord for good Men For Mission staff and cabinet meetings. Pray as several transition into new positions.  

4.  Praising the Lord for the growth of Saturation Colombia.  

5.  Pray for our next two teams as they are in new cities: Cartagena in July and MonterĂ­a in August.
