Killins, Sam & Alejandra

By the grace of God Alejandra and Sam have been able to see that all 5 churches they have been involved in starting have grown and matured and continue to gather every week to remember and worship the Savior and learn from God's Word. Even though the first and second of these churches (Aposento Alto in San Jose and Parkway Church in Bogota) don't require as much of Sam and Alejandra's direct participation and financial support - they still visit Parkway Church about once a month and remain connected and interdependent with this body of believers.

The Refuge Church in Cucuta requires a lot of financial support as the members who are Venezuelan immigrants struggle significantly to just get by in their everyday lives. Also, there are not as many leaders in this congregation with very much experience - but it's a miracle that this group continues to gather together and grow. Often Alejandra and Sam either travel to Cucuta themselves or support capable friends from Duitama to go to this great border city and spend about a month there at a time, to assist the church in its teaching and discipleship and evangelism.  

Two new churches have sprung to life in the city of Duitama in the past couple of years, and it's amazing to see how much they have flourished. May Christ and his Word always be at the forefront of these assemblies, and may its members never give up reaching out to those around them with the love of Jesus.  

Alejandra and Sam continue to help a number of Venezuelan immigrants on a regular basis, and host missions teams as well as participate in camps and conferences in Colombia.

Venezuela's doors are wide open for the gospel right now, and as Colombian citizens, Sam and Alejandra could potentially move back and forth in and out of this country to share the gospel with anyone that God may put in their path. 

It is wonderful to know that God's love knows no bounds.
