We’re in Colombia!!
This is the single.php page.
The team (well, most of it) arrived safely in Colombia, including all of our luggage. If you’ve been on a team where luggage showed up sometime later you know how important that luggage part is. Unfortunately, Micah did not make it all the way. His flight from Dallas to Miami was delayed and he missed the connection to Bogota. The airline put him up at a hotel and he will be on a flight first thing tomorrow morning. (We miss you, Micah!)
It was hard to get much of an impression of Bogota since we didn’t leave the airport until after dark, but the pastors we met tonight are great and they speak English! Hooray!!!
OK, so we haven’t had much of a chance to take pictures yet, but here we are trying to figure out how 8 people, plus luggage, plus little bus = a sane drive to the hotel. It doesn’t! The pastors pulled up with another car that solved the problem.
Piling in to the bus.
We are looking forward to a couple of incredible weeks of ministry down here! More reports will be coming soon.
Elizabeth, for the team
GuyS!!!! I’m so excited for you guys! We will be praying for you and look forward to hearing all about what you are doing!
Woot!
Don’t walk down any country roads and be careful of the Ice cream ;-P

Hey Micah,
so glad to know you arrived safely.
The pics are great. I can’t wait to hear about all of what the LORD is going to do through all of you. I am so excited that my sons are serving the LORD in such a needful place. Dad and I are praying for all of you.
love to you all,
Mrs. Cavanaugh

It’s very encouraging to hear how lives are being encouraged by your witness and hard work. Although I’m not sure who is being touched the most. The team or the ones you are ministering too. We do pray all involved will be blessed. May God bless you all with strength both physical and spiritual.
Soli Deo Gloria
Steve for the Curry’s
