Missionaries
who visit isolated villages in the jungle terrain of western Colombia
do not have the luxury of automobiles and paved roads. Even motorcycles
are not practical in some areas. That leaves horses as the best mode of
transportation for crossing rocky paths, thick underbrush, and flowing
streams. Christian Aid Mission provided funds for the Lord´s Vineyard of Colombia
to purchase several horses last year (as well as a motorized canoe and
motorcycle), but more animals are needed. A horse costs approximately
$500. The ministry held a weeklong Bible training conference earlier
this year that was attended by 900 people, including children. The event
was open to pastors, Sunday school teachers, women´s ministry groups,
youth, and anyone who wished to participate in the sessions. Some people
traveled three days to reach the training center.
