Voice of the martyr's is partnering with a missionary in Columbia to make parachutes for carrying the Gospel. The missionary in Columbia packs Bibles, Christian books, and a radio tuned to two Christian radio stations into the plastic bags attached to the parachutes. He then flies his little airplane over guerilla camps, and remote villages and drops these parachutes to the people. Many have come to know the Lord through this ministry!
It is dangerous, and he has been shot at several times, but he continues to carry the Gospel and spread God's love!
Check out this website http://www.perscution.com/columbia for information on how YOU or your group can purchase the supplies to make parachutes!
I ordered through Voice of the Martyr's the supplies to make 10 parachutes. The children in our church could hardly wait for the kit to come!
We spent 2 Wednesday's working on the parachutes - tracing the pattern, cutting out the fabric, writing on each parachute "Dios es Amor" (God is Love), and gluing down the ribbon. Then tying on the plastic bags.

Here you can see 2 of the completed parachutes, with the bags attached:
Each child got to write "Dios es Amor". Now when the people receive these, and see
the words "God is Love", they will be reading the hand writing of our children.
I told the kids they are getting to preach the gospel in other countries through this!!
So awesome!

I highly recommend this if you are in any kind of children's ministry! It's a fantastic way to teach your kids about spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to open their eyes and hearts to world missions!
