THE BEST MIRACLE
In Colombia it has become normal to see a
person receive Christ, but I believe that it
is a genuine miracle when more than 2000
people receive Jesus in just three Community & Medical Outreaches this year! All of this has been possible
because of volunteers; people willing to
donate their time and abilities so that, “All
would come to know Him.”
God’s Hand is Evident
When you see a child smile be-
cause of the clothes that he has
been given, for the toys, having
his face painted or the attention
that he has received, we feel a
profound sense of contentment.
Some people express grateful-
ness for our help, but we have
also seen some break into tears
when they are given a meal. Many
people don’t have food in their homes;
living off of their neighbour’s charity.
We have also seen healing come from
our counselor’s prayers & advice. Our
Community & Medical Outreaches are
always a party - a party for the most needy!
A Miraculous Healing
One of the miracles that really impacted us
this year was Rafael’s healing from deafness. He is an older man who has not
been able to hear for many years, but when
our volunteer Miguel prayed for him,
Rafael was healed & left with perfect hear-
ing! He praised God; loudly! Miracles like
this one happen often in our outreaches.
On the Medical Front, the majority of the cases that we care for are
allergies caused by animals or the environment, gastritis and intestinal
problems caused by malnutrition. The latter was Pilar’s problem. She is
a 16 year old mother pregnant with her second child. She was having
intense abdominal pains that seemed to be caused by the pregnancy.
However, when the Doctor asked her questions, he found out that she had
not eaten in two days - she had no food and no money.
Of the 20 poorest areas in Bogota we have already held outreaches in 12,
some of them up to three times with our evangelistic programs. We still
have 8 areas more to go and with your help we will make it!
The Gospel in Schools
Mobile Teams, together with interna-
tional outreach teams has been able to
take the Gospel into dozens of local
schools where there have never been
open doors. God has given us the oppor-
tunity to preach to tens of thousands of
youth in the last 4 years. In our July & August outreaches we
were able to share with more than
11,000 youth in different schools in
and around Bogota.
In every school where we gave a
presentation we left a mark in the stu-
dents as well as the teachers and ad-
ministrators. Several churches were
blessed with a new harvest - because hundreds of youth received Jesus!
Team members presented workshops on drug prevention, sexual purity
and communion with God. They shared their testimonies as well as
presented dramas that ran the range from comical to dynamic and
confronting. They touched a lot of hearts. Young people received revela-
tion and freedom from God in the dark areas of their lives - that in many
cases had satanic influences.
We have seen God open doors for our teams in Bogota and many towns
and cities in the area.

¡WE NEED A MINISTRY HOME!
Without a doubt we urgently need a “Centre
of Operations,” where we can stage our dif-
ferent ministry activities, have housing for
teams and a warehouse to receive donations
& store equipment.
Shopping malls, local churches, community
centres and others have become our Mobile
offices, but we need a strategic, permanent
place to fully develop the ministry that God
has given us.
Please, help us to pray for this need.
Passion For My City
With the program “Passion For My City,” that Mobile Teams cofounded, a new prayer
initiative has begun in the streets and the
cities and towns where we live. We inter-
cede in unity for our society, for our youth
to embrace the Great Commission and for
us to hear from God in respect to our spiri-
tual & social responsibility. We pray against
the principalities and powers of the enemy.
With groups of Pastors, Leaders, Intercessors and Believers, we have al-
ready held several prayer vigils in strategic points around Bogota - with
some 100 churches involved!
God is raising up a new movement of
prayer, unity and participation in different
areas of church leadership.
We have begun to see a change in attitude
and a new openness in the City’s leader-
ship. We are now preparing for our 7th prayer vigil in Bogota and
several other towns where they have adopted the idea.
Celebrate Christmas 2013
One of the programs that we hold every
year is “Celebrate Christmas,” where we
give Christmas presents to hundreds of
poor children and their families. At the
same time we hand out gifts, we also
present the Gospel to people that live in
some of the most vulnerable conditions
in Colombia.
Our challenge this year is to touch the
hearts of more than 2500 children
nationwide with Christmas Presents. Help us to pray that God would open
doors in many places for us to bless Co-
lombia’s children. If you can help us
provide presents for the children, it
would be very welcome.
