“’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Zechariah 4:6 Please praise God with us and pray with us: While Max was teaching the Christian Social Ethics class in Barranquilla, Colombia, he was amazed by the growth of the church in the midst of the social-political uncertainties as well as the devotion of his students to combine academic research with practical ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you! “‘No es por poder ni por la fuerza, sino por mi Espíritu,’ dice El Señor de las Ejércitos Celestiales.” Zacarías 4:6 Por favor, alaba al Señor con nosotros y ora con nosotros: Mientras Max estaba enseñando el curso de Ética Social Cristiana en Barranquilla, Colombia, estaba asombrado por el crecimiento de la iglesia en medio de las incertidumbres sociales y políticas, y también por la devoción de los estudiantes de combinar la investigación académica con el ministerio práctico en el poder del Espíritu Santo. ¡Muchas gracias!
