COLOMBIA, Thursday

This morning we went to the foundation. Above is Terry preparing to minister to the staff. Below is Pat practicing her Spanish with the Foundation's psychologist. It was much more difficult to converse with the educated than talking to street kids. When he asked "how my stay in Colombia has been so far, has it been good," I could only understand the word good. We had a lot of fun trying to communicate and the people appreciate that I am trying.

Below are some of the girls that daily come to the foundation. This is stage one where the girls come from the streets to eat breakfast and a bible study. Note the swimming pool in the back, which is the lure to the program. Two of the girls are being prepared to go to the girls home next Tuesday.
EMPANADAS! This one is for Tommy. Eating empanadas in Colombia. (However, Tommy's mother makes a much better empanada.)

Tonight Pat will be ministering to the woman's bible study. This will be held in Cristina and Enoc's apartment.

Great job on the blogs!!! That last pic. was just wrong. You should try to bring some empanadas back. The worst that can happen is that you get thrown in jail and join full time prison ministry like me.

Really, thanks for keeping us updated and we are praying for mom tonight as she ministers to the women.

God Bless!
