Dear Friends and Family, I am writing to you today with a heart full of gratitude and a clear sense of calling. This June 2026, I will be traveling to Colombia, South America, to partner with our organization dedicated to planting churches and serving unreached communities. The Vision: A Full Circle Journey This mission is deeply personal for me, marking a profound &quot;full circle&quot; moment in my spiritual journey. Returning to the country of Colombia in South America, where I spent my childhood, feels like a divine appointment orchestrated by God. I am returning not merely as a visitor, but as a living testament to the transformative power of Christ. Eager to share the work He has done in my life since those early years; my prayer is that this story of grace and transformation will serve as a source of hope and encouragement to every soul we encounter. The Work: Supporting the Local Church During this 10+ day trip, I will be working alongside teams to support local church efforts, serving others, and assisting with ongoing ministries. My days will be spent:<ul data-path-to-node="8" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">On-the-Ground Support: Committing to comprehensive daily outreach and ministry support, working closely with the local team to meet the pressing physical and spiritual needs of the community.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Sharing a Testimony of Change: Drawing from my role as a Case Manager and CPSS at Changed Lives Ministry, I will share firsthand accounts of how Christ&rsquo;s grace drives the recovery process, offering a message of hope and restoration to the local community.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Strategic Ministry Planning: Partnering with both local Colombian and foreign teams to assess their specific processes and needs, ensuring our support effectively contributes to long-term ministry sustainability.</li></ul>How You Can Partner With Me I am stepping out in faith, believing that God provides through the community He has placed around me. I would be honored if you would consider partnering with me in two ways: 1. Prayer (My Primary Request):<ul data-path-to-node="12" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Safety: For protection during travel and while working in the region.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Our Partners: For the Colombian locals and partners who are doing the work daily.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Strength: For spiritual and physical energy as we put in long hours for the Kingdom.</li></ul>2. Financial Support: To cover the cost for this mission, I am seeking to raise $2,105. Every dollar goes directly toward my ability to serve on the ground. I am so grateful for your friendship and for the way you have already poured into my life. Thank you for considering joining me in this work to see lives changed in Colombia, just as mine was changed here. &mdash; Luke 8:39 With gratitude and blessings, Benjamin<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1768037777/wysiwyg/ucw7daaskwzik23obkt4.png" style="width: 104px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; position: relative; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 104px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; text-align: left;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">
