Welcome to our page! We hope you will enjoy seeing what is going on in our ministry here in Colombia and be able to rejoice with us as we see God working in peoples lives!
Sharon has been enjoying having a discipleship class with (L-R) Luz Marina, Jacqueline, and Mariana. They are all new believers and excited about learning God's Word! Jacqueline recently went to see an uncle that was dying of cancer and had the opportunity to share her faith with him and he accepted Christ before he passed away. We are rejoicing with her as she looks forward to seeing him again one day!
The church that we had worked with back in 2010-11 had invited us to come back for a special missions Sunday at their church. What a blessing it was to see how the church has grown and to have the opportunity to challenge their hearts towards missions!
1. Please pray for us as we get ready to go back to the States this fall. We are so thankful for Julio Gutierrez and his wife Rosita that will be taking care of our church for the 3 months that we are gone and working alongside Marissa, Jeisson and Gina.
2. Many of our church members are doing the discipleship program New Life in Christ. Please pray for them to be faithful in doing their lessons. Also, some of our people are starting classes in the seminary!
3 Our missionaries and Colombian co-workers are making many new plans for our Seminary and we appreciate your prayers for wisdom as they move forward with many changes!
4. Jeisson and Gina are involved with teaching and preaching, music, and youth ministry. We are enjoying working alongside them and appreciate your prayers as we challenge them in the ministry. Gina is pregnant and their little boy is due in November!
5. Pray for strength and wisdom for Maria and Wilson, who are in jail right now. Maria has been a good testimony at the jail and there is a possibility of a reduced sentence and that she may get out in 2017. Wilson has been sent to a jail a few hours outside of Bogota. This is harder for his family to visit but there is also some hope that he may be getting out in the next couple months!
6. Pray for our daughter Amy and her husband Ryan as they are both busy serving in their church. Amy is working towards her masters in health and business administration and would appreciate your prayers.
7. Tim and Rachel are enjoying their new church that is closer to their home. Rachel has enjoyed working with the children and Tim takes turns teaching the adult Sunday School class.
8. Josh and Abby recently celebrated their 1st anniversary! They have moved into a new apartment in New Port Richey and Abigail will be starting as a 4th grade teacher in a Pasco county school.
