Over the last year, the above verse has become our cry more and more when we pray (Lk 10:2). The sobering reality is that, just as in Jesus day, the workers are few. With over 7,000 unreached people groups in the world, 41 of which call Colombia home, the task seems impossible. In the face of this humanly insurmountable task, God is calling more workers to the field and bringing His church together to finish the mission He gave her. YOU ARE A PART OF THIS!
In January, Ryan had the privilege to be one of the speakers at our annual missions congress here in Colombia (pictured in header & below). The entire event was focused on the urgency of God’s mission, and many made a greater commitment to the Great Commission—two in particular came forward believing God has called them to work with unreached peoples in South America!

Ryan then spent a week in Ecuador with a group of missionaries whose task is to lead a united effort in Latin America to inspire prayer, response, and mobilization to reaching the 481 unreached people groups in the region.
In just a few days we will be starting another year at the missionary training school, CEDI. We are excited to have students from all over the country coming to prepare themselves for a life of missionary service. Pray with us that God provide for each students' needs as they take great steps of faith towards fulfilling God’s calling.
Simultaneously, the new semester begins on the university campus and God has opened the doors to begin the ministry on one new campus here in Armenia as well as two other cities in the region. We are so excited to have MAPS worker Karson Barefield, from Columbus, GA, this semester to help establish the work in a private university.

In February, Caitlyn will be leading a team of Colombians to work in Asia Pacific in support of one of our Colombian missionaries serving among muslims. This is an important step as our Colombian churches continue to grow in their commitment to pray, give, and go to the ends of the earth. Please pray that God be glorified in this trip.
We are so thankful for your prayers and support—without you none of this would be possible. We will be returning to the States in July for a year of furlough. Our desire during this time is to share what God has done and encourage our churches and individuals to press forward in fulfilling the great commission. Would you consider having us visit your church during this time and/or becoming a monthly partner with the ministry here in Colombia?
