Underground Reality - Columbia
There has been quite a bit of information flying around over the last few days about the experiences of B & K in South America.

There was (and still is) real concern for their ongoing personal safety, much to thank and praise God for in their experiences in that place, things to pray for for the locals where they are, and more.

We need to be discrete to protect the team and locals from possible reprisals, but here is a summary of what B&K have written about and what we can be praying about:

Wednesday, February 13th
“We don’t want to say too many specifics just for safety but everything is going great so far. It is only day 4 and we feel like we’ve been in the country and with these people for 4 weeks already.

One big prayer point is for our energy levels. We are all feeling exhausted both because of our hectic schedule and also the weight of the testimonies we are hearing. It has been great to minister to the people we are interviewing. It has been like God has used this time as a healing process for these people to unload all that they keep inside.

_One thing that we would like to say is that from the outside people only see the bad things that are happening in C: the violence, the corruption, the drugs, the pain. We are finding that this is not the end of the story at all.
Through the pain and suffering God is doing great things in this country. There is great hope for C., and it is found in Jesus. Please pray for the spread of the gospel, that people would find great hope and joy and freedom as they turn from a violent past and embrace our gospel of peace and reconciliation._

We want to tell this story of great hope and joy and transformation. Please pray that this transformation would continue to occur as people put down their guns and pick up Bibles.”

And later on Wednesday, a last prayer request via Katherine’s parents:

  • Brad is going to the states for 2 nights to appear on TV, Katherine will be separated from him (she in C., he in the States) could you pass the message on to pray for Katherine as she remains in C. without Brad?
