COLOMBIA 2026

Hi my friends!  

First a BIG THANK YOU!  Thank you for supporting me financially and covering me in prayer while I was in Colombia.  Let me tell you some of the amazing things God did in me and through me while in Colombia. 

Our team worked on a construction project building a church on a hill, and I got my hands very dirty. I got the opportunity to help in schools, teaching English and sharing the love of Jesus through songs and games. A favourite memory of mine was, visiting the boys’ orphanage, getting to see them smile from ear to ear just by kicking a ball or giving out hugs. Being able to pour into these kids was a blessing and this trip left me spiritually full.

As busy as the mission trip was, we still got to rest and have moments of pure joy. Since there are so many street dogs in Colombia, I walked around with dog treats, I was the dog whisperer. My friends and I also witnessed a baby calf being born, joining a local farmer in that perfect moment. 

My absolute favourite highlight was getting to tag-team preach alongside my dad and share my testimony for the first time.  At the beginning of my testimony, my phone glitched and I lost all my notes. For a moment I got nervous, but remembered I was NOT ALONE, so I opened my mouth and God filled it! It truly was not me, but all God!  I was able to celebrate with so many people at the altar as they gave their lives to Christ. I witnessed people finding their identity in Him, drug addictions being broken, and hope being given to families, as they were praying for their lost loved ones.

 God is truly doing something big around our world, people are seeing their need for the One who created them.

Thank you for believing BEFORE the harvest and for PRAYING into this mission trip.

THANK YOU
