We are convinced of the great value literacy skills will be to these isolated tribal people.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Our\u00a0three main focuses:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To help teach the literacy course in their missionary training center. This prepares Colombian believers to join the work as tribal missionaries.<\/li>\n<li>To meet with tribal missionary teams, evaluating their literacy situations and giving practical help so that the tribal people may read God\u2019s Word in their own languages with good comprehension<\/li>\n<li>To continue to equip literacy consultants<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Will you join us in prayer?<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For safety in travel \u2013 for us and all the\u00a0missionaries traveling out of their areas<\/li>\n<li>Good health during a hectic schedule<\/li>\n<li>For clear communication in Spanish &#8211; the vast majority of missionaries there are our Colombian brothers and sisters! This means that all of our meetings and classes will be done in Spanish.<\/li>\n<li>For wisdom as we teach the literacy course to the missionary candidates and also meet with the tribal missionary teams.<\/li>\n<li>For the country of Colombia. While there have been great strides in recent years toward resolving issues, there still are vast areas that are considered too dangerous to enter. This limits access to the more than 50 language groups that are still unreached and without the Gospel. Let\u2019s pray that God will work in a mighty way that His Message can go out into these areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So as God brings us to mind during these next few weeks, we sure appreciate your prayers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>for another adventure!
