15 Americans Travel To Colombia On Faith With No Money – But God!

Back in 2019, God spoke to me and told me I would be taking a group of 15 Americans on a team trip to Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. As the date approached, we were short $25,000 to take the team on the trip and have the crusade we had been working so hard to prepare. In the natural, ministry partners, family and friends all considered with many suggesting that we completely postpone the trip. Something inside of me knew God had spoken that we would go, and so I didn’t cancel the trip. 15 Americans boarded a plane headed for Colombia, all their wellbeing in my hands. Upon arrival the crusade director was asking for the money we didn’t have, but I promised it would arrive shortly. Long story short, days into the trip, a get a ding on my phone that there was a check coming in the mail for $25,000. On top of that our director said they had a miscalculation, and we were $14,000 UNDER budget, that has never happened in crusade history as every evangelist knows! My faith was so stirred for what God was doing and so were the group of Americans with me on the trip. During a celebratory pool trip with our team, we raised an additional $6,000 in the pool. We left Colombia, with an additional $20,000 for the next crusade coming up the following month. Not only did we get the money we needed for that trip, but God came through and provided for what was coming next.

This never would have happened if I postponed the trip and didn’t put my faith in what God had spoken to me. Friends, can I tell you, this is how faith works. 15 people wouldn’t have had a life-changing missions’ trip, a three-year-old girl wouldn’t have started walking, and pimps and prostitutes wouldn’t have given their lives to Jesus if I hadn’t stood strong in my faith.

What is God speaking to you? What is He initiating you to have the faith for? Joshua 6:1-2 says, “Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: ‘See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.’” In God’s mind Jericho had already fallen, but in the natural the walls were sealed, and nobody was going in or out. When you get the heart and the mind of Christ and you see with His eyes in a situation you are impossible to stop.
