A Love Story

Written by: Andrew Friesen on 3/31/2011

It's awesome to be in the city of El Banco with my beautiful wife Rocio and our team preparing for our Gospel Festival that will take place in just 7 days.  Recently my wife and I have decided to make Colombia our home.  We will keep the main ministry office in Winnipeg Canada and open another WGE office right here in Colombia.  Living in Colombia was not in my plans but the Lord spoke very clearly to me and confirmed it by His love again and again.  No, our vision never changes.  1. To win souls. 2.  To win souls.  3. To win souls.  But where and how we do that can and should change.  It reminds me of the Apostle Paul in Acts 16:6-10.

"Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them."

You know how it is when you're in love?  I feel like I'm riding a wave of God's love here in Colombia.  Honestly speaking there are no other ministries in Colombia that are preaching the gospel of the grace of God like we are.  Colombia is crying out to know God's love.  We are truly pioneering something that is and will make history in this nation.  We are reaching people who have never heard the good news of Jesus before and seeing the church liberated from legalism and dead religion.  It's a love story.  It's HIS love story.  That's what I'm reminded of when Jesus first called me back in 1999.  His love was burning in my heart to reach souls.  It started with one person on the street.  Then the vision took me to India, parts of Africa, Mexico, Cuba and then finally Colombia.  That's where I fell in love with the woman of my dreams.  We are like coffee and cream.  She is my better half and my assistant in the ministry that helps organize our gospel events.  I thank God on my knees for her.  After the Holy Spirit she is my best friend.  God is love!  And I see His love covering Colombia like the waters cover the sea.  Greetings from El Banco.  -Andrew
