Pax,

Eleven of us from the Fort Mill Region will serve on a one week mission trip to Colombia, South America through Forest Hill Church and the South America Mission (SAM, www.southamericamission.org ). SAM’s work began in 1914 and they share our tradition of responding to the Great Commission.

This trip will renew our understanding of the Gospel’s power to transform lives and our passion for God’s global purposes. We’ll be in Colombia from September 5th to 12th, 2015.

Colombia has been one of the countries where the persecution of Christians is most severe. Today, over 130 SAM missionaries are multiplying the Church of Jesus Christ in five countries in South America. We will serve through diverse projects which include construction, relationship/partnership development with the Wayuu indigenous people, and helping local men create a legacy of Christianity.

Eleven of the PAX will serve on this Colombia mission trip.

There are two critical things we need for this trip.  First and foremost is prayer.  We’ll be announcing this trip in upcoming COT’s but would you commit to praying for our team, our families and for our interactions while in Colombia.  Secondly, we need to raise $22,000 as a team. Would you be willing to help send us by supporting our work financially? Donations can be made by using the link provided below.

We look forward to reporting back great stories of God at work in mighty ways in Colombia.

Sincerely in Christ,
Maximus
