So close!

The time is coming!

We are in the midst of outreach prep week and are getting ready to go on our trip to Colombia.  We are going to 5-6 different cities around the country.  Starting in Bogota (the capital) we will be working in a public school during the day and in churches at night, we will stay there 13 days before going to Cali.  We spend 8 days in Cali, then to Manizales for 3 days, Medellin for 7 days, San Gil for 10 days, then back to Bogota for debrief.  When we get back to the states we are doing "stateside" outreach in Minneapolis for a week before going back to the base.  Our main goals in Colombia are to minister to backpackers in hostels as well as help local ministries in the areas.  There are 6 of us going together so we've been spending a lot of time getting to know each others pet-peeves, we're going to be in close quarters!  We've been practicing a drama and we each have to prepare a message/sermon to do at a church (I'm not pumped about the sermon).

It is getting really exciting to be so close, 21 days until we leave!

The internet at the base is not the best so I won't be able to update very often, but I will hopefully be able to post another blog before I leave.

God has been faithful in providing my money, but please pray for the rest of my team.

Prayer requests: finances for the team, team unity, and connection with contacts in Colombia.
