Tuesday!

Today we visited CRAN to conduct our camp for the children. As always, the beginning was a little rough, but it went well through the day. Our theme for the week is Strong and Courageous from Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Today we told them the story of David and Goliath and how David trusted God and stood up to the giant.

It was great to see old friends and make new friends. We were given four volunteers to work with us and to translate for us. They were young college students that just happened to be passing through Bogotá. At least one of them is a Christian and they were all very excited about being here with us (and the children of course). From the children to the adults, everyone is happy we are here and they find ways to serve us. One little girl asked if we were thirsty after camp. She then ran down to her room to get a glass of water for us. Of course we cannot drink the water unless it is treated, but her servant spirit was very inspiring.

We had lunch at CRAN and then enjoyed a taxi ride back to the house. It was an early morning and so we spent the afternoon resting and preparing for tomorrow. We return to CRAN for camp and then will go to an artisan store to purchase gifts and souvenirs.

The team is working exceptionally well together. Everyone is contributing and we are all getting along great. It’s a blessing to be part of such a dedicated team who love the Lord and want to serve Him.
