Prologue
Jessie Abraham - Feb 20th, 2024
Friends and Family, Thank you so much for joining us on this journey to share the love of God to Cartagena, Colombia. Our team is so immensely grateful for the support, both financially and in prayer, you have provided. We could not be going on this trip without your help! God has specifically chosen each person on our team to create a sweet community of intentional, dedicated students who are ready and excited to engage in the Lord’s work in Colombia. In Colombia, we will be partnering with Calvary Chapel Church and School. Calvary Chapel has already been so welcoming as they are preparing to host our team. We will be serving the church on the weekend and then meeting with students over the week to build relationships. We are expectant to see God show up in miraculous ways as we step out in faith to show love to the community in Colombia. As we get closer to departing, we have been praying Psalm 37:5-7 over our trip. These verses read, “Commit your ways to the Lord; trust in him, and he will do this; He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” In this, we pray that we as a team may submit our worries to God, putting aside our own agenda, and instead turn towards the sweet peace God freely gives. It is only through Him that we may be able to serve this community. He is our sole strength and hope for this trip. May every step that we take be glorifying Him. As we are in Colombia, we hope to update this page with our daily adventures and for continual prayer points. We ask that you would be praying for us for the following as we prepare to depart on this journey…
Prayer Points: - For the team: Prayer for the hearts of our team as we prepare that we would adopt a humble and teachable heart posture, one that is ready to serve and listen to the will of God. - For the church: Prayer for the church as they prepare to host us. - For the people we will be engaging with: Prayer for the hearts that God is already opening up to receive him.
