Letter from a survivor from the earthquake (translated):

April 16, 2016   The Earthquake Day

Letter
It all began at 6:50 pm.  We were near the park and I kneeled down, crying I saw the buildings began to collapse, we ran to our house and with our family ran to the soccer field where we were told to wait for the tsunami.  Fear struck me when two boys ran by saying “Here comes the tsunami!!!”.  

We were altogether, little by little the field was filled with people, all of us crying.  When I woke up, they told me that my brother, Walter was dead.  When I looked at the building he was in, I saw him dead, suffocated by the debris.  I couldn’t believe that my brother was dead.


Tu Eres Ciudad Internacional:

As part of their McGiver Class, several Christ for the Nations Colombia students founded an organization called “Tu Eres Ciudad International”.  The students come from several nations but have One God.   To show their solidarity, they joined together to support survivors of the earthquake in Ecuador.  An international team of about 15 students traveled to Ecuador to offer counsel, prayer, medical services, and personal hygiene kits to the survivors.  The students made up of photographers, a doctor, a dentist, and beauticians were from Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Salvador,  shared 664 personal hygiene kits, 1500 articles of clothing as well as ministered Christ’s love with the victims.  They prayed with 2550 individuals to receive Christ as their savior.

Tired Of Fighting Alone?

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 s...

A Ministry of Multiplication

Leo Grisales, Christ for the Nations graduate who is dedicated to a ministry of multiplication. There are two things that have marked my life says Leo, “ there was my life before and after I accepted Christ as my Savior and there was my life before and after I studied at Christ for the Nations Colombia”.  Leo has a degree in Systems Engineering and had planned to study at Christ for the Nations to solidify his walk with God as he worked as a Systems Engineer.  During his time at the institute, he received several prophesies saying he would be going to the nations.  It was a foreign thought to him but after his first missions trip, he knew he was called full time to the nations to raise up workers for the kingdom of God. Leo graduated from Christ for the Nations Colombia 4 years ago.  Since then, he founded JUMP ministry, he has traveled to 8 nations, ministered to over 20,000 people, has formed ministry teams in four nations, written a book, built ...

Anointing Before Character

David recently returned to Colombia from a mission trip to Mexico.   He shared his testimony in Mexico that impacted both Christians and non-Christians.   It is amazing to see how God uses him despite having been kidnapped by his father, living in fear of the law, and losing his mother at the age of 12. When David was about 2 years old, his father kidnapped him to try and get money from his grandfather.   His father was caught and went to jail for two years until David’s mother dropped the charges and asked him into their lives again.   His father moved in with his other “wife” and the two women, their children, and his father lived together. David’s family moved often to avoid being caught by the law.   David says that he feared police officers because his family was always hiding from them. David’s mother died when he was 12 years old.   Now, David is thankful that his grandparents fought for and gained custody of him, but a...
