Naomi West Ministry Update and Testimonies

Dear Friends,

I am writing to update you about what God has been doing in my life and to tell you about the exciting things that are next!!


 A few things God has been doing: 

School Saved

Students standing to receive salvation

During my last trip to Colombia our team of 25 was invited to come speak in two assemblies at a public high school. Many of these students were hit men or prostitutes. We came to tell them of a good God who wants to meet them right where they are. I shared my personal testimony and told them about Jesus the Son of God who while they were still sinners died for them and reconciled them back to the Father. We told them about a God who was an extravagant Father who they could know intimately, after we shared the Gospel message we asked them to stand to their feet if they wanted to receive Jesus.  ALMOST ALL OF THEM DID! God's Spirit came and invaded that high school assembly. All over the room God was healing bodies and people were repenting. His Spirit was so present in that assembly. Around 400 students came into a relationship with God in both meetings.

Deaf Ears Open, Blind Eyes See

Our lovely team took a bus to a very dangerous part of Medellin, Colombia called La Sierra. We knew God's power wanted to invade this place. We were asked to invite people to this Christian Soccer game. I asked if at any point during the game we could preach the Gospel and heal the sick. I was told we could. We walked around for 20 minutes and we were supposed to be inviting people to the game. I was with my good Colombian friend Ana Maria. We were going from door to door trying to pray for people. Next I met this guy who was leaning against a bike. He would not make eye contact with me. It appeared he may be blind. I wasn't sure so I asked him. He said he was. We prayed a quick prayer for him and he began to see!! He could count fingers that were being held in front of him as well as he began to describe in details his surroundings.

After the man's blind eyes were healed a shop keeper found us and asked for us to pray for his deaf daughter. We met that wonderful family. Their 18 year old daughter was entirely deaf from birth. We prayed for her and she began to hear sounds, noises, her mothers voice. She was able to hear way more than before! I was so rocked by God. He showed up in this very remote dangerous part of Colombia.

God Invaded an Infamous Drug Neighborhood

For our team to even enter this neighborhood we had to pay a bribe. As we walked up I was told who the Drug Lords were and where they were standing. I began to get a prophetic word for one of them and talked to him for 20 minutes. The next day he came 30 minutes to the church we were at because he was hungry for more of God!

Then it was time to preach the gospel at the soccer game. One of my good friends Sophie and I tag-teamed preaching the gospel, 30 people in total were saved at La Sierra that day! And dozens of bodies were healed!

Our Friend Felipe

Paralyzed boy Meets a Good God

We also met this amazing young man named Felipe who was 22 years old. Two years before we met him, he had an accident and became paralyzed from above the belly button all the way down. A group of us prayed for him in his home and he was able to begin to feel his feet for the first time in two years!! He was shocked as God healed his equilibrium and he was able to move around more than he could before! WOW God is amazing!!!

What is next for Naomi West?

I am so glad you asked!

As you probably know I have been living in Redding Ca, since 2009. I graduated three years of Bethel School of Ministry in 2012. Since then God has opened many doors for me to travel itinerately, equipping the global body of Christ through impartation, activation, and preaching. I have been traveling on average once or twice a month and have made covenant friends all over the planet. I am a part of Bethel Church's Itinerate community, Bethel Activation Ministry, which is a covering for those who have been released to represent Bethel Church at an itinerate capacity. I love this community and will continue to remain a part of it!


As many of you know, I have been spending a lot of time doing ministry and missions in Latin America over the last five years. I have had the honor to partner with heaven to see the sick healed, many born again, and the church activated in a Kingdom Lifestyle. 

My last few trips to Latin America have felt less like a foreign land and more like a second country or a second home. My understanding and ability to speak Spanish has grown a lot especially in the past three years.  I have been dreaming of going to a Latin American country for a more long term visit since 2010. For two years I treasured that dream in my heart and prayed into it. But in May 2012 something happened, for the first time I went to Bogota, Colombia! On that trip we saw God literally light up a city with His power. I encountered some of the humblest and hungriest believers I have ever met. I remember in just one small outreach we saw 140 people powerfully born again through the Beautiful Colombian Church. I remember the look in my Colombian friends' eyes as they realized they too could walk in the Power of the Gospel. 

Ever since that day in Bogota in 2012 I haven’t been able to shake God’s fire for Colombia. I have returned on a few occasions and everywhere I go, the people are so hungry for God! For the past few years I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about this nation.  I have made  a decision under my community and pastors at Bethel to go to Colombia from the beginning of August to beginning of November. I am compelled to go.

What will I be doing in Bogota? 

There are a lot of open doors for the Kingdom in Colombia. I will be coming alongside a church called La Casa. They will be providing me a room to stay in. I will be coming alongside them to speak at a conference, minister to prostitutes and drug addicts weekly, train people in evangelism, and do ministry in their Christian school of 600 youth. These are just some of the many ways I will be pouring into the nation. I also plan on traveling a little bit in the country and partnering with some other friends and churches too. I believe this trip is a scouting trip that will lead to long term strategies for impacting Latin America with the Kingdom of God!

How can we partner together?

I am so grateful to all those who pray and believe in my life because I know prayer moves heaven!! 

Please Pray into this trip for:

            - Open doors

            - La Casa Church

            - Finances to come in quickly

            - For long lasting fruit

            - My personal health 

            - That Bogota would be touched by God like never before

            

I am very excited to be taking this adventure and am so glad to know my community and family in Christ backs me up! For my three months stay I need to raise $6800 by July 28th. That will cover my food, transport, phone, in country flight, toiletries, emergency money, and my expenses in the States. I know that giving towards this trip will be a good investment into the Kingdom of God. I am so grateful for everyone who has given in the past into my life through encouragement, prayer, or financially. I am grateful for every gift.

           I know every dollar given will impact God’s Kingdom and touch Colombia. I am excited for this opportunity for you and I to partner together to see God invade Colombia!
