I have this once in a lifetime chance. If you can help, please message me ASAP, and I will send you information on how.:

Dear Family and Friends:

          I hope you all are doing well.  I have just completed my 5^th semester of college, and am picking up as an intern at Dundee Presbyterian for the summer.  The church has many other opportunities to serve as well.

          One of these opportunities is a trip to Colombia.  I was asked to go a few months ago, but turned it down due to other plans. But I woke the other day with Colombia on my heart and mind. I couldn’t shake the thought and began to read up on it.  I feel that God is placing this on my heart to serve there.

          Colombia has been torn apart by conflict between the government and drug-funded paramilitary groups.  Though Roman Catholicism is the predominate religion in Colombia, Christianity is highly persecuted in the region by the paramilitary groups.

          While in Colombia, the team would take part in light construction in the morning, helping with an afternoon kids club, and sharing the Gospel with the people, in both rural and urban settings. 

          On May 26, the team departs. Though that date is closing in quickly, I believe we can attain the funds necessary. But we can’t do it without your support, both prayerfully and financially. To be frank, this trip will literally be impossible without the support of people like you.

God bless you, thank in the advance for your support.

In His name,

Michael Barnes
