Prayer requests for the Colombian Field, 2013

Because “we live by faith, not by sight!”.

1.     By the grace of God, people of Colombia need to understand the gospel as it is presented in the Bible.

2.     Colombian churches need to get involved in sending missionaries and workers abroad.

3.     Four churches in Cartagena need to strengthen a church planting model for future development.

4.     The new work of Sabaneta, El Redil del Sur – 20 minutes from Medellin-, needs a permanent building that could cost 400,000 dollars.

5.     Young couples, like Sneyder and Yuliana, are starting seminary. They need God’s leading for their future ministry and the needed resources to fulfill their calling.

6.     New pastors, like Jairo and Jeniffer/ Phil and Darlina / Bill Enrique and Maria/ Gustavo and Patricia/ Jonathan and Zarina, need protection and encouragement as they start their challenged ministry in areas where we are planting new churches.

7.     Medellin, with its 3.5 million people and around 300 churches, has only one seminary to professionally train pastors and missionaries. That dear institution is struggling for finances and teachers.

8.     Ministries for children and youth are weak in Colombia, our pastors and missionaries need to learn and find new ways to reach out to them in a creative and passionate way.

9.     Writing books and articles is a ministry that has just started in our Colombian churches. God has blessed these first publications. We need encouragement, discipline, more training and resources to see this new avenue of ministry to bring more glory to our Lord through the salvation of many.

10.  There are several locations in Medellin, as well as in all the Colombian territory that are still without Christian witness. We need direction from God to select new areas for which we should start praying and where we should work. We need to select the right couples and individuals to go those places to do missionary work and church planting.

 

I'll say yes, Lord, yes
To your will and to your way
I'll say yes, Lord, yes
I will trust you and obey
When your Spirit speaks to me
With my whole heart I'll agree
And my answer will be yes, Lord, yes
