Hey everybody!! I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to post much about last month in Colombia! Interent was unreliable and sparse. We were working with FormaVida (a program of IncaLink) and stayed with two other teams at the church facility up on the mountain overlooking the city of Bógota. It was an INCREDIBLE month full of growth and God’s presence!!!
The entire month we were doing school programs (singing, dancing, games, teaching English, giving testimonies, sharing the gospel and building relationships with students of all ages. We always had a team working with Oasis, the church’s after school program for children in the area. The children would come to get a hot meal (some famlies did not have enough money to feed them), get help with homework, learn from the Word, and simply be loved on.
Hopefully seeing some pictures will help you see a piece of the loving servant hearts of our hosts and how God showed up in a mighty way in Colombia!!

Our host ‘mom’ Lucy…mother to many love-starved and abused children. She has a heart of gold!

School ministry…Tatiana gave me her necklace as a gift.
We had lots of time to pray over and get to know the students.
Mandy…this girl showed me what it means to have a true servant heart!
Day off! A few of us went to the Salt Cathedral…a three level underground cathedral and salt mine (600 feet below ground!)
It’s the first Wonder of Colombia! So, so cool!!
