Getting married

Hi everyone, as we shared in our last post, we were going to share more about ourselves, the plans for the future and the things God is doing in our lives. Remember that the reason for this blog is that we can keep in touch with you, many are asking all the time and are praying, so here is the best way to know what is going on and this is how you can support us by praying for us. The other reason for this blog is to encourage family, friends and people who are walking and want to live a life devoted to the creator. God has great thing for each one, some decide merely to experience and others decide to share God's blessings. And as we encourage people, remembering that sometimes we need encouragement to keep moving forward, thanks.

So, here we are, GETTING MARRIED,  and very soon, after so many years in a relationship we feel ready for this big step, God has helped each one of us. He has given us the opportunity to share with many beautiful people, support different ministries and to get some training and preparation for the mission field. Now we are joining in strength to be able to be more effective and to support each other in the task he has delegated to us, to share the good news. We know this is going to take a lot of responsibility and a lot of faith and dedication, but we are definitely willing.

There are still some things we want to accomplish here in the United States before we return to live in Colombia, such things like: studying more, to make better connection with mission organizations, support to the local church in the U.S. where we are living, fundraising and the establishment of the mission organization here in the U.S. and also in Colombia.

Here there are some of the prayer requests and know that we will keep you updated with things that God is doing in our lives, thanks a lot for your prayers.

We feel so bless to have my parents from Colombia and my older brother just weeks before the wedding, we have had a extraordinary time together and I already think that we will miss them so much after they leave. Hopefully my younger brother and his wife will be here soon. We were able to visit some churches in Florida sharing more about the ministry and encouraging families to place importance in what God established from the beginning of the times to make him known everywhere, the Family.

GOD'S Protection

Hello friends, we are so excited to share with you our new blog, here you will find many things like information about the ministry, what has happened with us in the last year, what is happening now and the plans to come. We want to keep you informed of the amazon project so you know how you can pray for us.

Some of you may not know that we are getting married in December. We are looking forward to seeing family and friends we have not seen in a long time. We hope to see you there.

In our next post we will bring more information about how we met, our life in college, and what more we plan for our future.
For now we want to share one story that just happened to us, it shows God's protection and provision over our lives.

Traveling home to Virginia from West Virginia for the weekend about 3.5 hours more to go, we were starting to come over some of WV's mountains and it was growing darker and the temperature was in the 30's, we were driving around a turn and got a flat tire. By God's grace we rolled into a church driveway. 

As you can see the car was loaded as well as the car trunk. So we had a fun time unloading all our belongings to find the spare tire underneath. 

Jonatan started to jack the car and when loosening the lug-nuts one got stripped. We didn't know at that moment but later when replacing the tire we realized the bolt was rusted and that caused the lug-nut to be to tight causing it to be stripped. 

As Jonatan was removing the lug-nuts a car pulled up to ask if we needed some help. A man came and looked at the tire and said he would go get a fix-a-flat can. When he returned and started using the can we noticed the tire had three big holes in the back, so there was no way for the tire to be fixed. 

Back to square one, we had trouble taking off the lug-nut so we were worried to make it worse and not be able to take it off. But we didn't have any other option. At that moment the man helping us said "Lord, we need you" and Natasha's eyes got widened. We were so thankful to know that God was watching and sent a fellow Christian to help us. At that moment we cried out the lug-nut loosened and came free, it was amazing.

We were able to finished changing that spare and return on our way.

In the process we found out this man and his wife attended the church we rolled up upon. It is something really simple but we were getting into the middle of the mountains and we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. The man said he was going to the store and saw us, so just imagine if he never went to the store at that particular time, all would have changed and we would not have had his help. That is how God's protection is for us when we honor him and call on his name. He is never late for anything.

Yes, tears were shed that night and we were so thankful to have met some fellow Christians. Today through this simple story we want to remind YOU and encourage YOU to keep trusting in God's and calling on his name. Nothing happens without reason.
