Meet Sina

 My name is Sina Behr, born and raised in Germany, 22 years old and I have been living in Colombia for two years now. These two years I have been working in full time missions together with a Colombian organization called “RESCUE ONG”, and I would love to share with you a little bit about what Jesus is doing in Colombia. 

To make it easier to understand the mission work here, I want to give you some key facts about Colombia first. 

Officially, Colombia is a catholic country, but there is a lot of mixing of catholic believes and occult practices. 

Colombia is still battling with a lot of drug violence and drug use as well as homelessness, poverty, criminality and prostitution. 

Colombia is the one of the most persecuted countries (World watch list 2025, Open Doors International), which is mostly because of organized crime, as well as leaders of indigenous communities that practice a lot of persecution towards converted Christians. 

In spite of all this Colombia is a country that proofs what the Bible tells us: the harvest is ready! Everyone, who has had the chance to do mission work in Colombia will testify, that people in Colombia are extremely hungry for the good news. It doesn’t matter if you speak to a homeless drugaddict in Medellin, a sex worker in Bogota or an extremely catholic farmer in a village – most people are desperate to hear the news about a God, who wants to have a personal relationship with them. Especially people with religious backgrounds are hungry for experiencing a faith that goes beyond rules, empty words and the judgment of the church. Most people believe in a God, but very little have an actual, intimate relationship with Jesus. 

That is also true for vulnerable groups in society like those suffering from drug abuse, poverty, homelessness … I have seen how the message of redemption has set people free, turned their lives into something beautiful and changed the ways of generations. The people of Colombia need the Good News, the news that will put their lives into perspective and give them a true purpose. 

Personally I have been surprised so many times, by how simple it can be to bring people to the heart of the father. Many times, it doesn’t take much more than a true, intentional explanation of the gospel, because the Holy Spirit has been preparing their hearts long before the conversation began. 

With all this being said, we understand that it is so important for these freshly converted people to have good discipleship, church community and support. 

For that reason alongside the classic Evangelism, we have made it our prioritiy in the mission work to always work with the local church, train them and support them and help them understand their role in the grand commission. 

We dream of a church that is awake, not hiding in their own 4 walls, but going outside, impacting their cities and communities and preaching the good news. 

Especially working with indigenous communities, we have seen so much fruit in raising leaders and supporting the church, because ultimately they are the ones that impact and reach their communities! 

This is what my heart burns for. What started as a sole love for preaching the good news to the lost, turned into a passion for making a long lasting impact in Colombia, and that includes many different areas: Evangelism, Discipleship, Humanitarian aid, Training 

churches, finding new ways to reach the unreached, tools for bible translation to indigenous languages, support the persecuted church and so many more… 

I ask you to support us in prayer for Colombia, a country where Gods Kingdom establishes itself a little more every day. Please pray for more workers in the mission field, unity in the church, and for the Holy Spirit to move in this country, healing hearts and transforming lives. 

Thank you so much for your love for the global mission field!
