Simon and Sara were roused from sleep at 4 a.m. by shouts and banging on the door. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas in black rubber boots and olive green fatigues dragged the couple out of their house in pouring rain and forced them to get on motorcycles. As Simon and Sara clung to the motorcycles, feeling the slap of rain on their faces and the splatter of mud on their legs, they wondered if they were being taken to their deaths.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small jungle town in rural Colombia<\/a> where Simon, Sara and their five children live is accessible only by water. Houses are scattered along the network of rivers, and the only way to reach them is by boat. Colombians<\/a> living in this remote area make their living through farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon and his family had moved to the area four years earlier to share the gospel with those living in the isolated \u201cred zone,\u201d an area controlled by guerrillas rather than the federal government. He and another pastor work together, ministering in opposite ends of the river region. VOM provided Simon with a boat to help him in his ministry work, and he shares the boat with the other pastor. He ministers to about 170 believers, but they rarely meet as a group. Instead, Simon visits them individually for Bible<\/a> reading and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sundays, however, some nearby believers gather at a little church building behind Simon\u2019s house. Simon preaches over a sound system, knowing that the guerrilla groups camped across the river can hear every word. He\u2019s happy that they are hearing the gospel, but he also knows they could shut him down at any moment. Throughout Colombia<\/a>, guerrillas and paramilitary groups see churches as threats to their authority, potential sources of conspiracy against them. They hate the fact that Christians are more loyal to God than to communist ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe FARC call Christians a plague,\u201d Simon said. \u201cThey always want to kill us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\t

Encounters with the FARC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the first four years that Simon lived in the area, the guerrillas closed his church three times. Once, when the FARC commander told him to close the church, Simon replied, \u201cWe can\u2019t close the church; there are no doors.\u201d After a few months, the guerrillas allowed them to start meeting again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, the church was closed for more than a year before Simon quietly resumed worship meetings. He knows it\u2019s risky, but he also knows the believers need to be encouraged through corporate worship. And Simon has seen God protect him from harm in miraculous ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, a FARC soldier came to his house, kicked in the door and said, \u201cBring the pastor.\u201d Simon wasn\u2019t home, so his 8-year-old son asked the uniformed guerrilla, \u201cAre you here to kill my father? If you are, we won\u2019t be friends anymore.\u201d The soldier laughed and patted the boy on the head. \u201cYour father will not die today,\u201d he said. Then he asked the boy to pray for him before he disappeared back into the jungle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon has led at least one FARC member to Christ. The former bodyguard of a notoriously ruthless commander placed his trust in Christ, was baptized and is now in a church prayer group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"man<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sara has also had opportunities to share Christ with the guerrillas. When she was 8, both her mother and father were killed by the FARC, leaving her and her four brothers orphans. She became a Christian at age 15 and later married Simon. In 2014, she learned that one of the commanders responsible for her parents\u2019 deaths was on trial nearby for another crime, so she went to meet him. \u201cI forgive you for killing my mother, for killing my father,\u201d she told him. \u201cYou have hurt me a lot, but now I go and talk to the people, preaching.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon and his family had shared the love of Christ in the remote jungle region for four years, but in May 2014 when they were awakened in the middle of the night, it seemed that Simon and Sara might have to pay with their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punished for Preaching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was 7 a.m. when the guerrillas finally stopped and ordered Simon and Sara to get off the motorcycles. They\u2019d taken the couple across the border into Venezuela to meet with a FARC commander. \u201cI was very scared,\u201d Simon said. \u201cMy wife was remembering how her parents were killed and thinking about our own five children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they waited, Simon and Sara learned why they had been brought to the commander. \u201cThe purpose was to punish us for not obeying the rules,\u201d Simon explained. \u201cNo more sermons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They waited nervously until the commander called one of the soldiers on his cellphone to say he was on his way. Simon and Sara continued to pray, wondering what would come next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about 8 a.m., the commander called again. \u201cI can\u2019t meet with them today,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause the army is lurking around.\u201d Just as suddenly as Simon and Sara had been abducted by the guerrillas that morning, they were set free. The guerrillas melted into the jungle to avoid potential army attacks, leaving the couple standing in the road. Although their children were startled that morning when they realized their parents had disappeared in the middle of the night, Simon and Sara were back home by 11 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Simon joined a group of other pastors at a VOM-sponsored pastors\u2019 conference in Colombia<\/a>. One of the greatest difficulties for pastors like Simon is the isolation and lack of support they feel while ministering alone in hostile areas. Conferences like the one VOM sponsored in Colombia<\/a> are a way of encouraging front-line workers, who often have little contact with others doing similar ministry work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conference in Colombia<\/a>, Simon shared his testimony and spent several days with the other pastors for worship, rest and encouragement. He also heard stories about other places where Christians are suffering for their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the conference, I was revitalized,\u201d he said. \u201cThe words that were preached and the talk about the importance of putting up with each other were motivating. Just that you [supporters] were there with us [was meaningful].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While their encounter with the FARC in May 2014 resulted only in heightened fear and anxiety, Simon and Sara know they could be kidnapped again at any moment. Simon worries about what would happen to his family if he were taken by the FARC, and he also wonders how he would respond. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I would say in the midst of persecution,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause I love my children and wife.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon knows he is an ordinary man being used by God. \u201cI don\u2019t think I am stronger than anybody; I am not smarter or stupider than anybody.\u201d And with the support of his brothers and sisters in Christ, he is eager to continue sharing the truth of the gospel with his neighbors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
