Dear supporters and friends,
What a blessing you are to
us in our ministry here in Colombia! We praise our Lord for you often, knowing
that this is team work for the Kingdom of God. And knowing that God will
provide strength, and carry on our ministry in spite of all the challenges and
difficulties! (Phil. 1:6; 4:13,19)
We want to ask you to join
us in thanking God for:
1. The growth of the new church of El Redil del
Sur. Within just three years this
church has more than 350 people and
is soundly established in the gospel. Thank God, we have almost completely
relinquished the leadership of this church to Jairo and Jennifer that we have
mentored and trained while planting. A
few months ago we started to concentrate on giving leadership to the
“replanting” of another church called El Redil Estadio.
2. The opportunity to train leaders and preachers. We had a retreat with 45 preachers in training. We are happy to see many of them being
trained to serve in full-time work.
3. The planting of a new church in the suburb of
“El Pacífico”. After numerous years of serving in humanitarian labours in this
depressed area of the city, the community has now asked us to start a church.
Since last year Arnold and Abilene, an extraordinary couple of servants of God,
are giving leadership to establish a church there.
We also want you to join us in prayer for a special
need… our car.
During the past year our
car has needed much repair and maintenance. We need to replace it since the
maintenance is very costly. In
consultation with Norman Nielsen, the Fellowship International Associate
Director who is visiting us in Colombia, we have agreed that some funds need to
be raised for this project. These would be added to what we already have been
given. Our goal is to raise $ 5,000 more to
replace our car. Pray to God for this
need, please. If the Lord encourages you to make a donation please send it to
the Fellowship office (Box 457, Guelph, Ontario. N1H 6K9) designated for
“Cardona Car Fund” so they can send you a donation receipt.
Thank you for partnering in ministry with us.
God bless you,
Diego and Claudia.
