We are now entering our second week in Colombia. We don’t have very much wifi but that’s alright! This month is going to be amazing!!
It is all squad month, meaning all 39 of us plus our 4 squad leaders are living together under one roof and doing ministry together.
We are doing a lot of prayer walking through Medellin near the place we are staying at, stirring the ground for God to make a way through the city. Or even passing out VBS invitations. We have so many ministry options this month and it is so wonderful.
We are each given opportunities to lead VBS for children, men’s/ women’s bible studies, or an opportunity to serve all day in an outreach program for children.
We have only been here for a week and God is truly using us in so many incredible ways.
There have already been many salvations this week. We have seen God’s power breaking the chains of addictions over here.
Two nights in a row I stayed back with half my team for intercessory prayer on the roof of the place we are living in while the other half went out to pray and minister to the homeless living in parks. I’ve only been here for a week, and I have to say that intercession has been my favorite part so far.
Those 2 nights we stood on the rooftop extending our hands and prayers over the city praying God’s will to be done through our team who had been out ministering. The Holy Spirit flowed through us and gave us discernment and words to pray out. One night our praying shifted to worshiping and declaring that “There is power in the name of Jesus, and He was breaking every chain”
Our team came home that night and shared about how much peace and boldness they had. The Lord had given them the strength to minister and pray with those who were bound in heavy burdens and chains and were seeking for hope in Christ. That night consisted of people giving their lives to the Lord!!
Praise the Lord!
Pray that my team and I will continue to be bold for Christ and to grow more into the fearlessness of evangelism, which ever that may look like. Pray that we are overflowing with the Spirit so that when He is moving we are sensitive to see Him and hear Him! We want to grow more in obedience to hearing His voice and acting on it and being intentional with our quiet time with the Lord. Thank you and God bless!!
God bless you and your team.
So happy you are in HIS will. Keep watch for my OCC boxes that went to Columbia perhaps you will take part in that. ??
Beautiful post, beautiful photos, beautiful mission!! May the Holy Spirit continue to fill and embolden all of you!
Love the update! Thank you for the specific prayer requests!
(Also, no surprise that intercession has quickly become your favorite ministry so far!)
Colombia looks so beautiful! Can’t wait to see and hear more!!
I am so glad to here from you. Thank you for your updates. I pray God helps you to grow and to see his work being done. I pray God Blesses your team and your hands and feet. I am not good with words but God knows.
God Bless
