News in 5 January 2010



What if you could make a meaningful impact in a foreign country and never actually go there? What if your involvement provided eternal results and you never had to invest a single penny? Would you be interested in having an impact like that?

We will be arriving in our new location within Colombia (Santa Marta) to begin a new church planting effort and we would like to ask for your help and participation in reaching Colombians with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Believing that it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and brings people to an understanding of their need for a Savior, we as a church planting team want to make prayer a top priority. We will be inviting non-believing Colombians to evangelistic Bible studies and we need you to pray specifically for their salvation.

Will you partner with us in impacting Colombia with the gospel? If you are interested in receiving brief emails with names of Colombians who are participating in an evangelistic Bible study, here is how you can be involved:

1. Send us an email (colombiacarters@abwe.cc) and inform us of your interest and we will add you to our “IMPACT Team” list so you receive these emails.
2. Be looking for emails with the title “IMPACT Team” in the subject line.
3. Take a few minutes to pray, by name, that God would work in these people’s lives so that their eyes would be opened to the good news of the gospel.
4. If you want to take a real challenge, pray at the specified times when we as a team are having an evangelistic Bible study (we will include the dates and times).
