Back To School In Colombia


Whenever Possible I like to share what LAM's Latin Alliance Ministries are doing since that's the very reason we exist as a mission. This is from a recent LAM publication. Please take a moment to watch the video, it's impacting and encouraging. 
God bless!

From Latin America Mission:
Dear friends,

These past couple of weeks, nearly 20 million students went off to school at colleges and seminaries across the United States. It's a fall tradition so woven into the American fabric that many of us mark time by it.

Ubaldo Restán is an educator, too. But for many of his students, coming to fall semester classes would have meant risking their lives.

Restán trains pastors and church leaders in Colombia, part of a project LAM has partnered with since 1982. He's one of our heroes, really. The pastoral training program he runs has enabled thousands of Christians to receive ministry education without having to leave their cities or villages.

For many of the students, there was no way they could afford a "traditional" education. For many others who live in rebel-controlled regions of Colombia, there was just no safe way they could get to class. It remains one of greatest challenges facing the Colombian church.

Restán (and his great staff) are doing something about it. We think you'll be inspired by their story.

Thank you for you prayers for the persecuted church, and for praising God with us for these stories of community transformation.

Read the story and watch the video.

Blessings,
