The\u00a0 Guahibo church in Colombia now have the privilege of sharing the Gospel with more than 80,000 Guijibos that live in the prairies of Colombia.<\/p>\n

God is opening a great door for the Guajibo church to go to regions beyond to share the Gospel with inhabitants in other areas.<\/p>\n

A few years ago Colombian missionary, Alberto Gonzales, visited that region and I found many Guahibos meeting to study the Word of God. Teachers, who had only been taught in Spanish with a limited understanding of Spanish,\u00a0would read Scripture and afterwards strive to interpret it and translate it from Spanish to Guahibo for their hearers. Neither do they have Guajbo New Testaments available in their language.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could tell because of their lack of understanding, what they shared wasn\u2019t exactly what God says. This situation made me sad, as I could see in those people a desire to learn more of the Bible but there was no one to teach them clearly in their language. Today, God has begun opening that door for the Guajibo church to minister, \u201c said Alberto.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn, a brother and leader of the Guahibo church, was invited to teach for a few days. We are going to accompany him, desiring that God will totally open this door and permit us to begin teaching the Bible, beginning from Genesis in the Guahibo language this coming year!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Planas region, where there are more than 70 Guahibo communities, distributed in 11 settlements, with a population of over 10,000 Guahibo people.<\/p>\n

Today it is one of the principle areas of oil exploitation in Colombia. This has made an impact on the way of life and thinking of the Guahibo people living there.\u00a0 It is evident that the region is in the midst of great spiritual darkness! Starting a Bible teaching ministry in the Guahibo language of that region is full of immense challenges.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your prayers:<\/p>\n

Pray there would be a great desire to hear the Word of God
\nPray God would prepare the hearts of the people that will be hearing the Gospel message of grace!
\nPray that the Guahibo church will actively participate in the great privilege of praying, sending and going with the Good News of Salvation to Planas and other regions.
\nPray for the Lord\u2019s care and security during this trip.<\/p>\n
