Johnny and Susan Bolin
- Their first ever deaf camp will be held July 27-29. They are praying for the team from the U.S. (a deaf pastor, his wife and their son) to be able to raise funds needed for purchasing their tickets. Also, they need help with the expense of camp for the deaf. Each camper needs the equivalent of about $40 U.S. dollars.
- In the last two weeks, two people have trusted Christ as their Savior. Victor, attending the new church plant, joyfully placed his trust in Jesus Christ after searching for truth for years. Alieth, a young deaf woman, also trusted Christ last week. She is happy and thoroughly enjoying her Bible study.

Johnny and Susan Bolin
- The new semester in the Seminary began with Johnny and Daniel team teaching each Monday night. Around 80 students have enrolled. Almost all the students have a full time job, then come straight to class for 2 ½ hours of study. Their sacrifice is genuine and admirable.
- The leaders of the Colombian mission board (SIBAN) continue to plan the new mission outreach to Medellin, the second largest city in Colombia. Liliana Acho, the first SIBAN missionary, has been raising support to travel there to begin Bible studies with women and children.
- Different pastors and ABWE missionaries in Bogotá will begin this month traveling to Medellin to minister two weeks at a time to help develop the church outreach.
- In the deaf ministry, Susan assists Amanda Bloom with the growing outreaches and training classes. Amanda has been reaching deaf whom have never had the gospel or the Bible explained to them. Preparations are being made for the first ABWE Deaf Camp in July.
