Praise the Lord for the restoration over the last year for our leaders, Alvaro and Monica Castro, who serve as national leaders in Colombia. In March, Dan Clowers was able to go to Colombia to reinstate this couple to their ministry assignment. Please be in prayer for Alvaro, who is suffering with rejection of a kidney transplant. He is need of a great miracle.

In April, Dan Clowers was back in Colombia with a team from the Appalachian Conference to build a church in an area called La Playa. The team was fantastic and worked well with each other. The team leaders were Preston Mathena and Kerry Helmondollar. The best part about this is to see the Colombian Conference begin to get more involved in church planting and expansion of the conference.
