2nd Full Day In Cali, Colombia...

Another great day in Cali! This morning we spent time with the overseers of Ekklesia, Ruth, Maria Fernanda (she came to NTC in the summer of 2009 to go through RTF) and Jamie. It was a great meeting as they shared all things presently happening at Ekklesia. In all my times traveling here since 2002, this is the most momentum I have ever felt. As many of you know, from the fall of 2006 to June of 2009 we sent teams to Cali every quarter to help raise up 6 men to help take more of the leadership role in the church. We called the mini-college with the men, "Joshua's Men" as we took them through many different books and gave them homework for during the 3 years. All 6 of them are doing well and 4 out of the 6 are leading in strategic areas of the church. It's such a blessing to see investments in people's lives bear fruit, fruit that remains. Thank you NTC for supporting the vision of strengthening the church in Cali and thank you to everyone who made the long trek to Cali to teach the men. Here is a picture of Ruth, Maria Fernanda, Jamie, Greg and myself.





This morning we spent time visiting Ekklesia's Christian School. They have 146 children enrolled in a pre-k through 11th grade, which is the last grade for students before University. What a wonder school and what a great spirit there.






At the base of the property where the school is, we took a picture of the new building that is being built over what once was a little apartment building. This new structure will house some of the school and church staff. A wealthy gentleman from California, Ruth met last year, was looking for a place to make an investment that would further the kingdom and education. He covered the expenses of building this beautiful structure.



Again this evening we prayed prophetically over a bunch of leaders from Diego's church. The revelation was perhaps even clearer tonight than last night. Bob Isabel is a great prophetic leader and teacher and Greg is doing AWESOME! What a great blessing to be able to partner with Jesus in building His church Colombia!
