Pastor & Church Planter, CITA Mentor, IBR - Los del Camino, Mitu-Vaupes, Colombia
Having been commissioned by my mother church, IBR Labranza de Dios Villavicencio, as a church planter among the indigenous people of the jungle, I never believed I would find myself among such a diversity of languages. Thank God, He put by my side great men, Pablo B and Levi R. Pablo speaks three languages, Cubeo, Portuguese and Spanish. The Lord has given me other disciples who speak more languages such as Wanano and Curripaco, to name a few, and another language Carapana, from which the Lord has given me an excellent disciple, William. These are truly valuable men in the service of our Lord.
I was prepared for ministry with the program called MINTS; I obtained the licensure in Biblical Studies with them, but I thank God for the help with which God has blessed me, the instrument that I am currently using to better prepare my elders and leaders, CITA. At this moment we are studying the course The Theology of Calling to the Ministry. This has been excellent for us; the classes are simple, practical and serious, with a very profound theology. They have edified our lives in a great way, and the elders are understanding the seriousness of the Lord calling his sons to the holy ministry, and that encourages us greatly. We also have the wives of the elders with us preparing themselves in this course to work with the ladies of the church, and William’s wife speaks Portuguese and Spanish.
At the moment our method is to use the CITA videos, which we pause often to discuss, until we finish them. In the jungle it’s very difficult, and costly to connect to the internet in this region; however, our brother Nicolas Suarez, who serves under the tutelage of Leonel Ortiz of the church in Villavicencio, has sent us the videos on USB. Once we have completed the course Call to the Ministry, we anticipate receiving the videos of the course on Covenant Theology as our sequel.
I give thanks to God for the ministry of CITA, because it is a very valuable tool for preparing our leaders, and at the same time the entire church, especially our Sunday School teachers.
It’s a privilege because it makes us feel identified and very unified, being one in mind and purpose to extend the Kingdom of Heaven by means of the gospel of Lord Jesus Christ.
