Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers. Children’s Vision (CVII) has been making in roads of charity with the school and village that we visited yesterday, but this was the first time that we know of that the Gospel was presented. It was warmly received. While I don’t have numbers for you (that is in God’s hands), I can say that from where I was standing I could see one of the police officers present praying to receive Christ with the others. It was done out loud and the sound of so many voices praying at once (and possibly for the fist time) was overwhelming. This presentation was doubly special for us because we were able to do it in partnership with the local drama team with them presenting three songs along side of our team and their director doing some of the speaking with me and Richard (CVII director). God is faithful.

After the presentation, we handed out cake (again, a first for most present) and school packs with supplies. The police officers thanked us and explained the the kids did not have any other pencils so this would be very helpful for the school. As each child cam forward to receive a school pack they were also given a hug.

Today we went to church with the kids from CVII and took them out to eat for lunch. Several chickens later we were heading out to go grocery shopping with our little team of interpreters in tow. It has been a relaxed day which is good as the past few have been quite full. The fellowship with the kids has also been great. They eat up all the attention that we can give them.

Tomorrow we return to the regular schedule – work in the morning and workshop in the evening. It looks like we will get to present for the CVII school tomorrow morning, so be in prayer for that. Additionally, a deaf school here in Bogota has arranged for us to come and present on Thursday. This is a pleasant, surprise addition to our schedule.

As always, below are some photos. You can use the ones from our presentation to guide your prayers – these are the youth that just heard the Gospel. The seed has been sown, now we pray that God would help it to grow.

In His hands and His service,
-tim
