My heart is so overwhelmed as I’m writing this report.  We have just finished our Fire Seminar in the city of El Banco Colombia and it was a smashing success.  The purpose: to equip, train, empower, and inspire pastors and leaders in Holy Spirit Evangelism.  And thats exactly what happened!  Pastors and church leaders flooded the building to overflow.  The heat was unbearable but it didn’t stop us.  We were expecting 300 to come, but over 360 pastors and leaders came hungry to receive from Jesus.  Over the 2 days of teaching and preaching there were salvations, miracles, and mighty impartations of the Holy Spirit.  The pastors and leaders were weeping under the power of God.  Many testified to healing miracles and to how excited they were to be apart of this Fire Seminar and to participate in our upcoming Gospel Festival April 7-10.  “Nothing like this HAS EVER BEEN DONE where pastors come together in El Banco.” said several pastors and leaders.  The Fire Seminar is a strategy that the Lord gave us that works in cooperation with our “Fiesta de Amistad” with means “Friendship Party”.  This is also a totally original name that we call our evangelistic events in Colombia where we advance the gospel and reach those who have never heard.  Yes, in Colombia there are many larger churches and christian meetings.  However, there are still many areas where the gospel light is very dim.  What a joy and privilege to be advancing the gospel!  It reminds me of how Jesus sent out his disciples 2 by 2 before He preached the gospel.  "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go."  Thank God for his church!  Together we will see Colombia saved! Thank you partners.  -Andrew
