As I write this message I sit at gate A14 waiting to board my flight that will eventually take me to Baranquilla, Colombia for a week of evangelism and church planting/strengthening.  I wanted to thank each of you for being on my sending team.  Your financial and prayer support is enabling the continued growth of a church planting movement in Colombia.  

This week I would like for you all to pray for Alex Lopez and Bladimir Henao.  Alex is the leader of the network of pastors in Armenia.  He is a key partner on the ground in Armenia, which is the regional hub of the Coffee District.  Bladimir is the pastor we have identified to potentially launch the next city that we will open in the area, Manizales.  These men will both be with me for the entire week as we observe the established work in Baranquilla.  We will be seeking to reproduce many of the systems and practices that God has blessed so richly for the past decades in Baranquilla.  Pray that we establish strong Gospel partnerships that we will build on for many years in the Coffee District.  

Thanks for your partnership in the Gospel.  Pray for fruit this week. 

Blessings!

Jeff
