They asked me to take over what they had started with the young people in their neighborhood. I told them they were doing great and recommended they continue to stay the course. They did just that and in the past couple of months they have brought almost 50 visitors to church, seen at least a dozen peo- ple saved, and seen 6 people bap- tized. God has blessed their ef- forts more than they ever thought imaginable. Praise God for those who are willing to go to work! The Harvest is Plenteous Jhon, Esneider, Wilder, & Bryan baptized Santiago, Samuel, & Ana baptized One of the ladies that got saved in the Amazon Going to work Trip to the Amazon Our daughter Abby passing out tracts I was invited to help with a medi- cal missions trip to the Amazon by Sean Lundey, the BIMI director of Brazil. They were going to work in Peru and Colombia and needed a few extra Spanish speakers. A missionary friend of mine and I decided to go last minute. It was incredible! We stayed about a week, visited 6 villag- es, saw almost a thousand patients, and saw many come to know Christ as Savior. There is a real need in the Growing Pains In the last month we have set two new records for our highest attendance ever! We were putting chairs in every empty space! We had to install another air condi- tioner due to all the extra people that have been attending. The church is growing thanks to the blessing of God. If this trend continues, we sim- ply will not fit in our current facil- ity. We are carefully considering our options. Pray that God gives us discernment.

Please visit cap- turingcolombia.org/explore/video to watch a short video regarding the trip. Please pray for more labourers! Amazing! At the recent flower festival we passed out 3,000 tracts in an hour. That’s almost 1 tract per second and we barely scratched the sur- face. Please pray for the lost mul- titudes of Colombia. The harvest truly is plenteous.
