Barranquilla Team - There have been many times in the last several days when I was reflecting on where I was at this time last week in Barranquilla. Multiple barrios, team members, Colombian friends and experiences flooded my mind. I imagine the same thing has happened to you as well. I praise God and thank you for your participation. We pray for workers for the harvest - and God wonderfully answered these prayers with both our American team members and Colombians as well. We praise God for 1,094 professions of faith in 12 communities. Priscilla also reports that the medical clinics touched many lives in 4 barrios: 448 patients treated by our Medical Team, 44 patients served by our Physical Therapist and 282 patients fitted with eye glasses.
Looking to the future, we are anxious to help you cast vision to your sphere of influence concerning mission opportunities in Colombia! In 2016 Sam and Jason will lead 4 expeditions - which are already available on the e3 Partners/Pure Charity website:
April 23 - 30, 2016 - Cali: https://www.purecharity.com/cali-colombia-co16a
June 18 - 25, 2016 - Cali: https://www.purecharity.com/cali-colombia-co16b
August 13 - 20, 2016 - Bogota: https://www.purecharity.com/bogota-colombia-co16c
October 15 - 22, 2016 - Barranquilla (with medical): https://www.purecharity.com/barranquilla-colombia-co16d
I pray for all of us that
"we cannot help but speak about the things we have seen and heard" (cf. Acts 4)
And of course, please continue in prayers for Bernardo Gonzalez and the excellent team in Colombia - and for the follow up ministry from our trip to Barranquilla.
If you have any questions - or can open any doors for e3 Colombia in your church - please let us know how we can serve you!
For His Advancing Kingdom,
