Compelled by Christ's Love. . .to Africa!

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 2 Corintians 5:14-15

A calling to Africa:
Anxious to live their lives for the one who died and was raised for them, Maxel and Amanda Colonia have responded to the Lord's call to minister in Africa. It is evident that Christ's love has compelled these two as they have testified to the way He has guided them to be a part of a short term mission trip to Abuja, Nigeria from January 10th - 20th.

What they will do:

Maxel and Amanda will be partnering with a team from Word of Restoration Ministries and will be serving the people of Nigeria in a variety of ways. Their ministry to share the Lord's love will include leading a college-age conference with two Nigerian colleges, building a church, teaching at some local village schools, and working at a medical clinic there.

How you can pray for Maxel and Amanda:

• Pray that they would be empty vessels who are prepared for God's leading
• Pray for increased faith
• Pray that preparations (including VISA's, financial support, and supplies) would go smoothly
• Pray for the health of their team as the dates approach
• Pray for those in Nigeria who they will share Christ's love with
• Pray that the grace and love of God would be shown to the Muslims they come in contact with
• Pray that after they leave, the seeds of the Word that are planted in the people of Nigeria would grow
• Pray that they would keep their eyes on Jesus and not be distracted by the enemy
