Short term making a long term difference

Technically it is now Thursday but since we stayed up past midnight to write this blog we are pretending it is still Wednesday.

What happened to us today? Instead of words we are going to show some more pictures and highlight more prayer/praise requests at the end.

Guest Teacher Rachel teaching Carrie Bergmann's 3rd grade Bible lesson- Her demonstration of the Israelites marching around the wall of Jericho (No worries, the walls of El Camino did not come falling down) s


Blessing that she is learning how to walk with help from a few friends (Stan, Camilla, and Tyler)


Tom tickling Diego


Ken helping feed snack to the little man


Ronnie getting Kevin to eat - Gotta do what it takes! And Kevin liked to blow kisses :)


Stan and Jaun Carlos


Tino teaching Juan Carlos how to smile


Cheeeeese!


The Barrio Egipto
The website for the foundation Buena Semilla-  www.foundacionbuenasemilla.org

Gordon saying hi to one of the little guys


It was a jam packed day with teaching, experiencing the poverty of Colombia, but more importantly watching how God is at work in these ministries. What a privilege and honor to be here short term, but ultimately making a long term difference; from El Camino to the disabled and street children of Colombia.

Praise/Prayer:
*Teaching for Rachel went great today!
*The Barrio was an eye opening experience
*Carrie's role at El Camino and possible new position
*Carrie to depend on God for shepherding her students
*McCollum's: Wisdom and guidance for where the Lord would have them be next year
*Bob McCollums knee surgery this next Tuesday and his three weeks on crutches
*Elias Mendoza (Director of the foundation Buena Semilla): The Lord will supply the money to buy new property to buy a new building, so they will be able to do outreach for teenagers from the age of 13-18 since their lifespan is known to be until age 24 (due to violence).
*Tomorrow as we test the alarm system, finish up apartment work, take care of some of the teachers kids, and odd and end work at the school.
