Our most sincere gratitude, first to God and second to all of the people that made possible the successful beginning of this ministry.
Many brothers and friends have surprised us with: affection, encouragement, sustaining words, prayer, letters, e-mails, scriptures, calls and more. God has used you and placed you at our side to strengthen us and let us see His faithfulness and sovereignty. To all that have done so; thank you.
Establishing the Kingdom of God, which implies doing His will, is what moves us, sustains us and motivates us to continue with the vision of...
Mobile Teams; a dream from the heart of God,
especially for the valiant.
And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues and kings.”
Rev. 10:11.
Serving the National Church
At the beginning of the year God opened the doors in various churches where we visited and helped with workshops and evangelistic programs. We also helped in the founding of two small churches in southern Bogotá.
The Gospel in Schools
Some 4000 students from 8 public schools were impacted with art, choreographies, painting, music, workshops, conferences and testimonies in Cartago, Valle, Colombia.
The teachers received us and the directors opened the doors. The directors invited the student’s families for the morni ng, afternoon and evening presentations.
The Mobile Team, consisting of nationals and foreigners, saw first hand how God manifested Himself. More than 500 people received the Lord.
One of the greatest impacts was in the program that we put together for a group of 29 deaf youth. They had never been presented with the Gospel in their own language. The interpreter that we brought with us was excellent and 22 of them received the Lord!
Serving the International Church
One of the objectives of Mobile Teams is to mobilize the National Church to reach the nations. It is for this reason that we joined the project to take a team of 30 people to Canada for an outreach. You might think that this is not such a needy count ry, but the statistics surprised us greatly: in Colombia approx. 12% of the population are Evangelical Christians, but in Canada it is less than 5%. Canada is a very rich country materially, but spiritually it is one of the poorest.
The Blessings Followed Us to Canada
It was a very complete work. We visited 17 churches in 7 cities. The greatest part of the ministry was, “lighting evangelistic fire” in the Canadian Church and challenging the Latino church to reach out beyond the Hispanic Community. Street Evangelism was foc ussed in parks, especially to the farm workers from different Central American countries. We could see and feel the spiritual hunger of both the Canadians and the temporary workers from Latin America and the Caribbean.
We were very supported and blessed by many people, families, Pastors and churches; even as we blessed them with our ministry.
God was very faithful, sovereign and special with each member of the team.
Providing Tools for the
Labourers
Support and facilitate new challenges, visions, ministries and individuals is one of our objectives. It is for this reason that with great happiness and commitment, we accepted the challenge to help establish the first school of “Teachers for the Nations” in Bogotá.
The students, support staff and above all Ricardo & Marilú Rodríguez, were very special with us and with the ministry of Mobile Teams. We thank them for believing in what we do and for giving us the opportunity to serve.
In the same way we were able to help the Discipleship Train School (DTS) in Medellín on two occasions. Teachings and evangelistictools were presented to these new missionaries. To the staff, students and especially Jorge Colmenares, thank you for the invitation.
Our seminar, Supporting Your Ministry – Finance and Communications, is a specialized training so that missionaries can raise up a support team. These seminars were presented in churches  and in the YWAM bases in Cartagena, Medellín, Bucaramanga and Bogotá.
The results have been positive and we believe that the seminar  will bring great blessing to those who follow its principals. With tremendous happiness we have received testimonies from several people who have started to put these teachings into practice and have already obtained part of their support.
Mobile Teams - A Public Service Ministry
Mobile Teams networks and makes alliances with other ministries, both national and international, who are in agreement with our objectives. For this reason we determined to accept the invitation to work in a health brigade in Tierra Adentro, Co lombia. Many thanks to the Coordinator/Doctor Enith Diaz Villegas. We thank God for the work that we were able to do with the community and especially for the seminars we presented to Pastors from the region.
Many thanks to Jaime Useche for the invitation and the work that we were able to do in the Evangelistic Explosion in Quibdó, Colombia. It was a tremendous success. More than 400 people received the Lord and close to 3000 people were benefited by the event. The medical team and support staff that we brought from Bogotá were very challenged when they saw the need and the way God worked in every aspect of the outreach. The work with the children was a success. The school supplies, clothes, toys and food were very welcome.
The Pastors and leaders were very motivated and desire to reach this remote region for the Lord.
God was very faithful in every area. You
only need a heart to do Missions.
