Dear friends and family,

We want to tell you with great joy that, thanks to the Lord, Eimy has finished his missionary training and now we are both ready to serve the Lord in a cross-cultural work wherever He leads us.

But before that, we want to tell you how this semester (2024) ended:

Tribal internship

We spent two months among the Piapoco people (August and September) learning their language and culture using the methods we were taught.

We made friends, worked with them, learned from them, and shared good times together.

Back to the Institute

After two months, we returned and Eimy continued with the classes at the institute. This time she was learning about Bible Translation.

Bruce H was teaching the translation class. He and his teammate already finished the translation of the whole Bible into the Ma language, for that ethnic group in Venezuela.

It was a blessing to learn from him and his experience.

At church

We also continued with the Bible classes with the kids from the neighborhood and at the end we had a farewell class for those who had been going regularly.

Eimy graduated!

And after finishing with the classes and evaluations, Eimy graduated!

We thank God that now we are both ready to serve Him in an ethnic group.

What's next?

Eimy and I want to serve the Lord cross-culturally within an ethnic group. We have told you about the Tucanos here in Colombia. Unfortunately, this year there has been an increased presence of armed groups in rural areas here in Colombia - where most of the missionaries work - looking for new ways to traffic you-know-what to other countries.

These groups have been seen by the Tucano communities to the point where it has become unsafe for the family currently working among them. For this reason, we are reconsidering other places that the Lord has put on our hearts to serve, with safety in mind.

Brethren, we would appreciate you for praying with us for direction from the Lord.

For now, we will continue to serve here in our local church, visiting Eimy's church in Bogota, and awaiting the Lord's direction as to where to serve Him.

Prayer requests

  • For direction from God regarding tribal ministry.
  • For the missionary conference in January 2025, in which we will be participating by being in charge of preparing activities and teachings with the MK's (missionary kids).
  • For the provision of the necessary financial support to be part of Global Partners and to serve the Lord in a cross-cultural way.

Praises!

  • We praise God for our church IBHW for all their support and prayers.
  • We are thankful for you, and your prayers for us.
  • We thank our church FEYA for their love for us.
  • We thank the brethren from Nuevo Amanecer and their love and prayers for us.
  • We praise the Lord for our parents and family who are there for us.
  • We thank God for our missionary training teachers, who with their example and life taught us so much!
Thank you very much for all your support and love! We appreciate you very much,

Jordan and Eimy Jaspe
