Meeting Once a Month
Paul Clark
Colombia
M I SS I O N A RY M I N U T E
Violence. Corruption. Coffee.These three things are often associated with the country of Colombia. What people don't know is that over the last 35 years, Colombia has seen a tremendous increase in Christian believers. Amid much evil, God's church is shining bright. Paul Clark, our supported missionary, moved to Colombia in 1980. Paul desired to see Colombians saved and churches planted in all 32 capital cities. As Paul began to baptize and disciple new believers, the church began to grow. After 10 years, Paul turned that first church over to national leadership. Today, over 30 churches are planted throughout all major Colombian cities. Each church is lead by a national pastor, and the gospel continues to transform the communi-ties. These churches have also begun to commission missionaries to the surrounding nations. Colombia is quickly becoming a sending headquarters for world missions!Despite the hardships of life, Paul Clark has remained faithful to his calling. After Paul's wife JoAnne passed in 2012, Paul continued to serve in Colombia. Paul married Nidia, a Colombian, and they con-tinue to serve as missionaries. The body of Christ is growing, and new churches are being planted every year!The Paul's lifelong commitment has not been easy, but God has blessed it. Today, thousands of Colombian Christians will meet for worship thanks to the seeds they planted 40 years ago.

Sympathy
Mike Metzger Pastoral Care / [email protected]
Thank you so much for the beautiful flow-er arrangement you sent. The flowers were so nice to receive on a cold, snowy day, a bright spot in a dark corner. Thank you also to everyone that sent a card or called to check on me. I read each card and felt so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. Thank you is so little to say to everyone that blessed me. Carol Green Proverbs 3:5&6
Dear Church Family,Thank you for the prayers, the cards, and the visits. My life has been a testament to God's truth that when you give it all to Him, He returns it to you with more blessings than you ever dared to hope for. My successful surgery was another part of that. In Christ's love, Kristin Tipton
