One of the most meaningful things in Colombia in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ’80s was the presence of MAF, but due to security instability MAF and other mission organizations had to leave the country in 1985.
Today our MAF missionaries are still in the minds and hearts of several Colombians who received the Gospel through the great ministry of MAF. This year, after 30 years of absence, MAF came back in February to see part of the fruits of what many missionaries did in Colombia, and to continue partnering with the local church.
MAF has returned now to train pastors and leaders in the areas of technology, theology, learning, eLearning and orality. Alvaro Mendes was only 18 years old when he first took a ride in an MAF airplane. A little later, he became part of the national entity under which MAF operated there. Today, 40 years later, Alvaro is the dean of academics for a Bible institute that trains and sends its tutors all over Colombia to train more than 9,000 (yes,nine thousand) pastors and leaders.
The training we just provided to those leaders will help to continue impacting the life of thousands all over Colombia and beyond. Praise The Lord!
