Religion temporarily satisfies that natural desire to be \u201cgodly\u201d but unfortunately leaves behind hearts of stone filled with skepticism, doubt, and disbelief after its hearers realize those downpours were nothing but acid rain. Pictured above is Sergio. He was raised a Catholic but converted to Jehovah\u2019s Witness. Please pray for his salvation as we continue to plow and plant the seeds of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n<p>God has been blessing the church plant in La Campi\u00f1a. We have been seeing people saved, baptized, and joining the church. As a result, the church is growing and we are in need of more space. Praise the Lord, we plow, we plant, and God does give the increase!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/March-April-2012.pdf\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombia is a religious country and the people here are far more religious than I remember Italians ever being&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,4],"tags":[16,24,20],"class_list":["post-299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-10","category-prayer-letters","tag-building","tag-ministry","tag-witness"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DSC00290-e1417580691886.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":301,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299\/revisions\/301"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capturingcolombia.org\/wp3\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
