Yurani has been serving in Niger Africa since October 2019.   Most of the few missionaries serving in Niger returned to their home country during the pandemic but Yurani persisted in her calling to this country.  She is serving alongside a Korean missionary who founded a girl’s boarding school and Bible school.   Yurani’s main ministry is discipling teenagers who were born in a Muslim context.  Over Christmas, Yurani went to the city to relax but while there, she contracted malaria .  It was a difficult battle but she has mostly recovered.  Please keep her in prayer for full recovery and the strength to continue to minister and share God’s love in an isolated part of the world.

Yubeli – As you know, our motto is that "forming leaders isn’t what we do, it is who we are".  Yubeli is a great example of a leader who forms other leaders.  Born in a poverty-stricken part of Colombia, Yubeli surpassed all expectations and learned healthy leadership principles, learned English and later French in preparation for her call to Burkina Faso, Africa.   Through missions donations, she has purchased land and developed a leadership school in a small village, she has brought unity through Christ to two competing tribes,  she cultivated a farm project to feed the villagers and provide work for the youth.  Now, through the pandemic, she and her Burkinabe husband continue to do Christian leadership and entrepreneurship training. At first, virtually, and now traveling to small communities, they are giving conferences and seminars throughout the country.  NEWS!   On Nov. 23, Yubeli and her husband, Utonio, welcomed their first child, Y...

  Next week the Bible school is sending a student team to an indigenous village that, according to the Joshua Project, is still an "unreached people group".  We actually visited them once before.  Here is what happened in that first encounter! ------------------------- 2 years ago one of our missions teams decided to go into the jungle to reach an unreached Indigenous Indian village called  “La Po” home of the Embera-Chami Indians. The team traveled all day and finally arrived around sundown.  After meeting the village leaders and getting something to eat, they found a flat spot to set up their tents. But no one expected what was about to happen…   Around 2:00 AM several of the students on the team woke up feeling a strong oppression and could hear footsteps walking around outside their tents.... Even though they tried to see who it was with flashlights, they couldn’t actually see anyone. The students got real scared and started wak...

Reaching people, equipping leaders, launching world changers “It is more than just our slogan, it's what we  do ”

If someone came up to you and asked;  "What is your purpose?"    H ow would you answer?   2020 has been a challenge for everyone world wide. It’s a time when we question if what we do is really worth it. We all have to look at where we can cut corners. We used to decide whether we need to purchase a MacBook or if we can get by with an iPad. Now we have to decide which staff members are most crucial… After lowering tuition by15%, we received s petition from our students asking us to lower by 40%. We know they are hurting, but we were already over budget. We had let go the non essential staff, the remaining staff sacrificially took pay-cuts up to 50%.     We looked at everything again. Where can we cut corners? We could take out our mentorship program and inner healing programs and that way cut our staff down by one or two people… but then we had to go back to our purpose . -  We are called to launch world changers.  When you know you PURPOSE… ...

Jonatan P erez  has great potential as a spiritual leader. During his time at Cristo Para las Naciones, he discovered God´s dreams for his life and God revealed the steps to take to achieve them. As a CPN student he was able to do mission trips to several places such as Germany, Tumaco, Colombia, and Venezuela.   He has a strong burden to serve in the nations.   While studying he translated for some South African missionaries which opened the door for more opportunities.

This month, Jonatan will leave to serve as a missionary in South Africa for 15 months. During the first two mo...

Elias grew up in a Christian home in Cereté, Colombia. His stepfather is a pastor of a church in the small town.   Although Elias grew up in the church he did not have a personal relationship with God and his priorities and goals in life were to be rich, have a lot of women, and have a big car and house.  One day, one of his favorite uncles came into town to visit for a week and he talked with Elias about how he had life all wrong.   His uncle told him how his life was falling apart and how things he previously thought were important like women and money were not important to him because they're all temporal. At the end of that conversation, Elias knew that his uncle was warning him and didn’t want to see him go down the same path that he had taken. So Elias made a decision that day that he wanted to “try out” this whole Christian thing and decided to head over to...
