Peter & Elisabeth Putney

We are the Putney family and God has called us to plant churches in the country of Colombia. We are sent out of Liberty Baptist Church in Fort Pierce, Florida and are serving with Baptist International Missions, Inc.

Colombia, the mere mention of its name can strike fear into the hearts of those who have heard of, and those who have been a part of, its long history of violence. Located at the top of South America, Colombia is a land shrouded in reputation for carnage and bloodshed.

Spiritually, the country is dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. Corruption and hypocrisy of the priesthood has caused much distrust by the Colombian people. Most follow the church out of family tradition.

Colombia's past violence has left its people ravaged and broken. The country has one of the highest numbers of internally displaced people of any country in the world. Thousands of children are in need not only physically...but, even more critically, spiritually. Colombia is ripe with a harvest of souls that are looking for the truth.
