Praying With Witch Doctor The CPN Amazon Team had the opportunity to share with a witch doctor.  We had the honor to be able to pitch our mosquito nets in the chief’s home at the community called San Francisco, a community with no church.  As the team was finishing up eating dinner and getting ready to do a public time of worship and prayer at the indigenous community’s soccer field, a girl from the team expressed having nausea and weakness and fell to the ground.  Right away, the team's doctor ran next to her and started checking her vitals.  She began motioning towards her throat and trying to say “I can’t breath, something is chocking me”.  The doctor said there was nothing blocking her airway.  The entire team stood up in prayer, fighting an unseen battle.  As the attack seemed to lesson, the chief peered into the room we were in because of all the commotion we were making.  He gave his explanation for what was happening by saying, “all the good people of this community do

AMAZONS 2015 After months of preparation,  the 29 team members flew down to Leticia, Colombia to begin their 10 day trip.  The team went to two communities, an indigenous community, Zaragoza, that has received mission teams in the past, but unfortunately did not receive the correct God-following example and a smaller community, San Francisco,  that currently no church where the team began the process of researching the place, culture, history, and economics to eventually develop  a church there.     If we could sum up the trip in one phrase it would be, “WE WERE GOD’S ANSWERS TO PRAYERS”     Two out of the many stories we could tell are moments that challenged us as a team.   The first happened the first day arriving to Zaragoza, the leaders Cara and Michele sat down with the present pastor of the community to discuss the work the team would do.  Being so deep in the jungle,  there was no way to communicate with the pastor before hand.  In this meeting,  the girls bega

Students beautifying the street girls A Night With The King The Christ for the Nation's students have shown how they go above and beyond just a simple project.  Every year Christ for the Nations offers a practical class on dreaming, writing down the vision, sharing the vision, and executing it.  For the past year, the students have felt a burning desire to help the “unlovable” and “undesirable” to society: the homeless and sex-workers.  With the desire to show God’s love to the broken world, they designed an event called “A Night with the King”.  The idea was simple but glorious.  They wanted to have a space to fix up sex-workers hair, make-up, nails, and new clothes and prepare them for a nice meal and a special word shared.  After dreaming this idea, one thing after another began to work out.  The rooftop of a girl’s foundation was offered, and then a catering company offered 60 banquet dinners, a large quantity of girls offered their beauty products and skills, and then a
