Missions Trip to Manantiales

Image
A third group of our students went to a community in Medellín called Manantiales. In this community there are many families that live in shacks- many of these families were driven out of their homes due to the invasion of the FARC years ago and they didn’t have the means to restablish themselves.  The first day of the mission, the team provided a medical brigade alongside the organization Visión Global, however, the main goal of this mission was doing a spring break camp for the kids and youth of the community. On a daily basis they would pick up the kids, take them to the foundation, and the mission team did activites, lessons, and games with   the children and the moms.  There was a time where the students began to minister and pray over the kids. There was a lot of inner healing that happened during this time, many kids were able to be free from pain they had been carrying for a long time.   Seeing the students of CPN step out and love

Mission Trip to La Guajira

Another group of students had the opportunity to go to an indigenous community in La Guajira over spring break. This indigenous community is very separated from society and they have a limited supply of water and food. There are no bathrooms, no showers, and very few hours of electricity. The students were able to live as the people of the village the week they were there and they learned a lot about the true importance of life and following Jesus instead of focusing on material things. During  the trip, they did church services every night and were with the women, men, and children doing different activities and workshops throughout the day. The students were able to close the gap of cultural differences and create trust with the people of Guajira. In the workshop with the men, the students taught about the importance of honoring their wives and many of the men gave a flower to their wife for the first time. There was need for a lot of spiritual warfare in this

Mission Trip to Segovia

Over spring break in CPN our first year students went out and did missions in 3 different cities- Segovia, La Guajira, and Manantiales. Here is a summary of the team from Segovia: The team that went to Segovia was able to work in unity throughout the whole trip. God was so faithful in bringing them together, providing above and beyond what they had budgeted for, and making divine connections with the people they were ministering to. This team is now like family! The first 2 days they served in the local churches in Segovia. In these churches all the women must be in skirts and that was very different for many of them, but it was a good experience. Many of the students were able to step out and preach for the first time! The team went to an indigenous community called La Po for three days and did some workshops on inner healing with the kids, women, and men. They said that the community received them with so much love and compassion a
