Isaiah and Heather Mattocks: Santa Marta, Colombia
SANTA MARTA, COLOMBIA — Isaiah and Heather are living in the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia. They feel privileged to work along side veteran missionaries as they plant churches all along the northern coast in Barranquilla, Cartagena and Santa Marta. Right now in Santa Marta alone, there are over about 30,000 Venezuelan refugees living on the streets. They are believing Matthew 9:37, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.” They are saying yes to the people who may feel no love, even from their country. A people who may have never heard there is a heavenly Father who loves them and wants a personal relationship with them. A Father who has a plan and purpose for each and every child living in those coastal cities. Will you believe, pray for them, and pray with them, that the Lord would continue to send workers into a ripe and overflowing harvest field?
In 2017, Heather had the honor of leading a team from NY to Nicaragua and worked with Kings Castle for the first time. She fell in love and hoped in her heart that Kings Castle would also be apart of their missions life later. God truly gave her the desires of her heart as He has opened the door, for just that, in Colombia. King’s Castle is an evangelist out reach towards children. Simply its V.B.S everyday, in the streets, in schools (yes schools), parks and any other public locations that draws the attention of children. Through song, dance, games, stories, and testimonies they present the love of Jesus. There are altar calls and prayers over each child, as they respond for healing, for a relationship with Jesus, for problems at home. Then they connect them back to a local pastor for them to get plugged into a church. Through Kings Castle they will also be apart of the training. They get to teach, mentor, and disciple the next generation of leaders, and pastors. Their hearts could not be happier!!
The couple have three children: Dakota, Malachi, and Tarabeth.
