(Your gifts will helpcover not only living costs - food, shelter, clothing, etc., but also
pay for the ministry expenses--Bibles, literature, lanterns, bicycles, etc. In this way,
you can help the cause of global missions by covering the cost of sending a worker into
the harvest field, who can serve the Lord full-time among an unreached or unevangelized
people group.

about
Colombia is one of the most violent countries in the world. Leftist guerrilla movements, right-wing paramilitary groups, and drug-trafficking barons control many areas. Corruption, kidnapping, and murder brutalize this society. Hundreds of pastors have been murdered, hundreds of churches have forcefully been closed, and thousands of families have left their homes to find safety. God has raised up the ministry of Christ to the Unreached Tribes (CUT) to provide an answer to this dilemma: Jesus Christ.
CUT has established two ministry training schools to spread the Gospel to the 20 remaining unreached tribal groups in the nation. The Missionary Transcultural Technical School trains native Colombians to become missionaries, and The Bible Institute (La Antorcha-The Torch) trains indigenous tribal pastors who return to their villages to plant churches.
Under the leadership of Helman Ocampo the ministry has initiated regular pastor seminars to provide continuous Bible teaching, prayer, encouragement and fellowship. This helps to motivate them to continue preaching the Gospel in the war zones. CUT ‘s social outreaches have helped displaced families find food, shelter, and a way to make a living. A refuge center has been set up for 100 children to keep them safe from kidnapping by the guerillas. Comfort and aid is also being given to widows and their children. Despite constant danger, CUT is committed to train and encourage pastors so that Christ can be proclaimed. Then they model the love of Jesus by showing mercy to those affected by the daily violence.

A missionary from Colombia spoke in our school’s chapel a few weeks ago. He shared that the children at his school didn’t own even one pencil or piece of paper. He asked if our students would be willing to share a pencil with the children in Colombia. He ended with the query, “Are any of you called to be a missionary?” About 15 of the 42 kindergarten through 7th graders responded. After chapel, the missionary was talking with some teachers and students when he... |
