Colombia, Friday

Above is the view from Enoc and Cristina's 9th floor apartment. The bible study here with the women went well. Jesus touched many of them. Three women were on the floor crying out to Jesus. God is so faithful.

Below is a picture of the young ladies at the girls' home. Last time we were here they had 5 girls and more on the way. But the young girls get homesick and the older ones "need" to get back home and "work" for their families. They call prostitution their work. The girls can quickly make a lot of money to support their families. It is very sad how young they are and how difficult it is to keep them in the program. Sometimes the families come and take them back and other times they run away.
Below is a bridge over the river. On each side of the bridge is a different gang. Many young people have died in this area, fighting for their territory. Just recently five young men died. Open Arms Ministry is doing its' best to change this. God's creation is so beautiful and we are praying for God to take these kids and this area back for His glory.

We traveled with many forms of transportation this week. Walking up and down the steep mtns. gave us our daily exercise. It was difficult when they run into children that used to be in the program. Young boys that have run away and are back on the streets sniffing glue. Heartbreaking to say the least.

We also took the metrocable, which can give you a view of the city from the air. The poverty gets worse, the higher you go.

This is the metrotram. This can be very crowded at times. One of the security guards warned us to watch our backpacks.

Tomorrow we will be going to one of the poorest areas to do children's ministry.


They have asked Terry to preach at their Sunday service. He covets your prayers.
Dios de bendiga!!!
