Among many stories, there is one that touches our hearts, reminds us of God’s faithfulness and reaffirms the purposes that he has put in our hearts. It has to do with the missionary Sophie Müller who, in the 1940s, dared to brave the dangerous journey through the Colombian interior to reach the Native Americans living in the Amazon jungle and, in particular, in the Guainia region.
At one point during her years in Colombia, Sophie stayed for a while in the home of Patrick Symes, the founder of CLC Colombia, and this reveals a principle of CLC to support missionary work. Efforts to support this particular work have continued now for 40 years, through donations from CLC that are helping to pay for the theological training of the indigenous Guainía Christian leaders, for fuel so that journeys around this region can continue to encourage and support Christian leaders, and finance to support the local people who are assisting translators working to produce the Scriptures in native languages.
