Colombia Team
(I lifted this info from John and Nell Evans' email letter. They are speaking of the trip that includes them, Bruce McDowell, Andrea Daft, Jorge Roman Blas, and Clara Hernandez. They left yesterday and return the 28th.)
Monday we head out on another mission trip, this time to Colombia, South America. We would appreciate your prayers 1) for fluid Spanish 2) health & safety and most importantly 3) that what we do and say might be used for God's glory and to strengthen His kingdom here on earth.
The first week we will be in Bogota. They will be having a Presbytery meeting that week and John and Bruce McDowell, our missions pastor, have been asked to attend and on Saturday to give classes on the book of John to the seminary students. (John has actively been working to support the work of Gospel to Colombia these past two years. GTC sponsors much of the seminary work in Colombia.) Nell has been asked to lead a small group of women Saturday morning on Interpersonal Relations 9am-11am.
Saturday evening we fly to Santa Marta where we will be for a few days, joined by two others from our church, a nurse and a doctor. They will be helping in the children's home and in a small village where the church of Santa Marta has a mission. Then we will go to Barranquilla for another couple of days. I think it is there that John and Bruce will again give their classes on John... and maybe Nell too.
Bogota (7000ft) has temperatures that will be cool, fall like, and Santa Marta and Barranquilla, on the coast, are hot, hot, hot and full of mosquitos. We have friends or friends of friends to look up in Bogota. Clara Hernandez from our church has been there for a couple months taking care of her mother. We want to visit with her. She will join us for the rest of the trip. (We have been on several missions trips with her and traveled with her in Mexico and she is a great person to have around.) In Santa Marta Nell may be leading children's classes in crafts and maybe a Bible story or the like. Susanna Hormann of our church, a home school mother, has helped her a lot with Bible stories and pictures and supplies. She is so thankful.
