Newest Report and Results from the Lingo's in Colombia

Hi Bill,

We are just now getting started with the evangelistic camps, and are already seeing some amazing results! Since we are only using our own church staff and the rest are all volunteers, we can only do the camps on long weekends. In addition, the task of assimilating the ones who get saved into our churches is a major undertaking, so the follow-up becomes a much bigger task than even putting on a camp.

We call our evangelistic camps Dia Zero -- Un Evento Que Transformara Tu Vida!, which translated is Day Zero -- An Event That Will Transform Your Life! We did one in May. Here are the stats on that event:

Attendance: Campers 272
Volunteers: 162
SALVATIONS 194

We just concluded our second Day Zero on October 12th. Here are the final stats.
Campers: Girls 191 Boys 217
Total Campers: 408
Volunteers: 143
TOTAL ATTENDANCE: 551
Professions of Faith: 263

As you can tell, we are getting better at gathering information. We are also getting better at follow-up. Last Saturday we had 216 people at a Youth Rally in one church, and approximately 40 at the other church. This past Saturday, in just a normal Youth Activity, we had a total 167 kids at both churches.
We are in the process of assigning mentors to the young people who were saved.

Pray for us, this is placing a major strain on our facilities. God is going to have to provide more room soon!
