Missions
The mission of Colony is to first minister to the families and
communities located along State Highway 6 between Interstate 59
and 521. However, God has given us opportunities to minister beyond
our immediate home as His work continues to expand.
Locally, Colony is involved with outreach programs, such as Open
Gym and Upward Basketball and Cheerleading Ministry and missions
such as the Fresno Food Pantry.
Globally, we have built relationships with the Mankanya People
in Senegal..
We
have returned from our fifth trip from visiting the Mankanya
in Senegal, Africa. MM5 - Mankany Mission Team 5 has gone and
returned just this June, having made new friends and new brothers and sisters
in Christ. We hope to go back in December. We are excited to see
what God can do through a small body of believers and a big amount
of prayer!
Culture: The Mankanya are famous for their hospitality (they
will go to great lengths to welcome you in their homes).
The
Need for Prayer
1. Pray that the Casamance region which has been troubled by
a guerrilla war remains at peace so Christian workers can bring
the Gospel to the Mankanya people.
2. Pray that our church can keep reaching out to the Mankanya
and hearing God's voice in exactly what we need to do next.
4. Pray for people, especially children, who continue to suffer
from the effects of war: poverty, malnutrition, sickness, fear.
5. Pray for the safety of missionaries traveling in this region.
Many unrecovered land mines remain which make traveling on these
roads very dangerous.
6. Pray for the translation of the Bible into the Mankanya language,
which has already begun. Pray for the translation of other Christian
literature as the need will surely grow.
8. Pray for the raising up of native Christian leaders among the
Mankanya.
9. Praise God for the Mankanya people. See these people through
God's eyes. Develop a love for them through daily prayer. Learn
how you can make a difference in meeting the spiritual needs of
the Mankanya people.
