CFCI: Our
church supports three mission endeavors in Columbia.
- Pedro
and Mabel Hernandez
Prayer
request: pray for Pedro as he plants
new churches in Colombia and works with the various pastoral associations,
youth ministries, and trains missionaries for short term missions. He also
has a ministry which aids teenage girls involved in prostitution and another
ministering to pastor’s
children.
- MISION
CALEB is the missionary arm of
existing to assist the Co Christ for the City International/Colombia, Colombian
Church in training and developing her indigenous and cross-cultural missionaries
using an innovative spiritual and intellectual pedagogy to include practical
short-term outreach ministries both in and outside Colombia. The name MISSION
CALEB is based on the Joshua 14:6-13 text, where one reads of Caleb, in
his 85th year, vigorously passing before Joshua to request permission to "seize" his
rightful promised inheritance of Canaanite land. Caleb, as one faithful
fellow spy to the next, "reminds"Joshua
of the earlier promise to him by Moses... taking Joshua back forty- five
years to the time when they both gave Moses the only favorable report
at the completion of that now famous exploration trip into Canaan lands
(Numbers 13:30). Of course in so doing Caleb earned a sure inheritance
for himself and his descendants to follow (Numbers 14:24). So there
you have it... if an 85 year old faithful Caleb could still be used by
God to accomplish His purposes, how much more will God use the vision and
strength of Colombian youth today to accomplish His purposes to reach
a lost world
Prayer
request: Pray for Mission Caleb, the organization that trains young
Colombians to fulfill their goal of preparing cross-cultural church planters
and disciple-makers. They train young men to ministry to un-reached
Islamic people in the “10-40” areas of the world. Once
such team is
now in Iraq. Kelly (Roberto) Green is the director. Kelly

Prayer request: Please pray for Kelly and Cherie
and their son, Juan Jose in Medellin, Columbia. Kelly travels all
over Colombia to support the nation’s
church leadership. He reports seeing Colombians uniting in evangelism
in this embattled country. The people are hungry for something
different than the daily horrors they experience in this drug capital
of the world.
- CFCI: Our
church also supports mission work in Costa Rica. To
break the cycle of physical and sexual abuse, early unwed pregnancy,
lack of education,
and poverty, CFCI workers have an outreach specifically to young teenage
girls living in a squatter settlement. A CFCI social worker
befriends and counsels
them. They are being trained to hold jobs and get an education. A
shelter for
those pregnant, or not pregnant but at risk or abused, including those
with babies, will give them protection, restoration, training, and
emotional and spiritual
growth. The goal is to teach self esteem, parenting skills,
principles of family
life and a means of supporting a family, all within a Christian context.

Frontiers' passion is to glorify God by planting the Gospel of Love among
unreached Muslim peoples. Founded in 1982 by Dr. Greg Livingstone, FRONTIERS
now has members serving to love, respect and bring peace with Muslims in
over 40 countries. This organization was born out of Dr. Livingstone's conviction
that God had not forgotten one-fifth of the world's population. Under God's
blessing, teams with clear goals and strong mutual commitments can plant
the Gospel in the Muslim world. We believe that communities of Jesus-followers,
the Apostle Paul's model, is the key to serving Muslims today. Our singular
focus enables us to pour our resources, experience, and growing expertise
into this one objective.
