SEEDS OF TRUTH IN San Andrés, Columbia
BY CARLOS HERNANDEZ | WBS SPANISH REPRESENTATIVE
One of the greatest blessings of working with World Bible School is seeing how a single seed planted in faith can quickly bear fruit. Earlier this year, I had the privilege of traveling to the island of San Andrés, Colombia, to assist the local congregation with a special outreach effort. A visiting brother from the United States presented lectures on Christian evidences across three universities and four high schools, and I served alongside him as his translator. During these presentations, we took every opportunity to hand out WBS flyers, inviting students to discover God’s Word online. Among the many receptive young people was a student named Mónica Cardona. She listened with genuine interest, accepted a flyer and, to my surprise, reached out to me that very evening.
I invited Mónica to worship with the local church that Sunday, and she came. She stayed afterward with thoughtful, sincere questions about Scripture. My wife and I sat down with her for a deeper study, and her hunger for God’s Word only grew. Mónica returned the following Sunday with even more questions. Today, she is actively connected to the local congregation, engaged with WBS courses and, most importantly, drawing closer to God.
Traveling and meeting wonderful people is fulfilling, but leading souls to Christ is the true reward. Sharing the Gospel through WBS can be as simple as handing out a flyer, sharing a link or sending a message. A single seed of truth can begin a journey that changes a life for eternity.
