Thanksgiving and Christmas are always exciting times for us, but at the same time they tend to get pretty busy with events. We are looking forward to seeing family next week for Thanksgiving and are already hard at work on our plans for Christmas. It's fun to think that this is the first Thanksgiving and Christmas for Aliyana.
This week I've been hard at work on getting our newsletter printed and out the door. Hopefully, everything will be done later this week and they'll be on the road to your mailboxes. Getting Teams ready for the field and following-up with teams that have come from the field is also keeping me busy. Just this past week we received encouraging news from a group that just got back from Barranquilla, Colombia. The group participated with a team of 56 North Americans and they worked side-by-side with over 160 Colombian Christians to do evangelism and church planting. One of the tools they used while sharing the saving message of Jesus Christ was the EvangeCube (check out the video below). The teams presented the Gospel to 2,148 people during their one week stay. They report that 1,578 people made professions of faith. There were 70 small groups started, all under the watchful eye of the local churches. They treated 517 people with the medical team that went, as well as 40 dental patients.
We will be partnering with our Colombian national workers beginning next April to do similar work through the OMS-related Igleico church family. Please continue to pray for those that accepted Christ during this trip. Next year we plan on sending teams to Colombia to do trips just like this in April, July, and early November of 2012. All of us here at Men for Missions would encourage you to pray about being involved in going to Antioquia next year to share the Good News and help start worship groups along with our Colombian partners. If I have learned anything while working at Men for Missions, it is that God LOVES to use ordinary people, like you and me, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. By going with us on one of these teams, you would experience, what we like to call, your "life-changing journey."
We have a lot to be thankful for this year, but we have never been more thankful for those of you who lift our ministry up in prayer and financially support us.
