Missions Trip to Manantiales



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 those around them brings us so much joy. We think it’s important not only for them to be a light to the nations, but also to the people that are next to them. A simple smile, a warm hug, and moment of prayer can make a huge difference in someone’s life.






“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:40

Tired Of Fighting Alone?

Image
How are YOU doing... today ?   As a result of the pandemic situation, many people have found themselves fighting some type of battle - and many of them were fighting all ALONE.   IN OUR CASE ...   the Lord had us start the project for the Christian School about 4 years ago.  There are a lot of people affected by the project and many families counting on it for their children.  Last week, we got to a point where it looked like it would be impossible to see the fulfillment of that project.  It looked like it could be finished.  We want to share some ideas on how we were able to walk through the despair of feeling like we were about to lose everything.  1.  PEACE -  Recently I (Jerry) caught myself in "just hang on and survive" gear... but God got in my face and reminded us that He LEADS me by His peace .  Satan wants to DRIVE us compulsively , but God wants to DRAW us compassionately .  I know it sounds too simple, but the Bible tells us; " Don't worry about anything

NEW YEAR... NEW YOU !!!

I think it was Einstein who wrote this famous quote: “ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over  and expecting different results .” Most of the Christians I know, and I include myself,…don’t want 2023 to be just a repeat of 2022. They want “more”… more clarity in hearing His voice, more of His incomparable presence , more “ heaven ” in their day to day life! If that’s you, I want to encourage you with 5 suggestions that WORK for us. Following Einstein’s advice; if we want to see changes, we need to make changes. Expect enemy attacks If you’ve decided to follow Jesus… you have “changed teams” from following the world’s ways to committing yourself to allowing God to lead you. Don’t expect “sunshine” all the time. Pull up your boot-straps and jump into the battle! Attacks are coming!… expect them & be prepared! 👊 Pray Daily According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, fewer than half of U.S. adults pray daily … “forgetting to pray is like forgetting to bre
