    GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA!

    At the start of this new year, I started reading from the beginning of the Bible and am continually amazed at the story of God’s plan and the stories that were written down thousands of years ago woven together to form God’s big story and what He has in store for us. So as January is already almost over, my simple encouragement is this from Deut. 31:6, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never

    ¡UN SALUDO DESDE COLOMBIA! GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA!

    I have been studying the book of Jeremiah and despite the proclamations of the coming judgment of God, we also see God’s concern for repentance and righteousness. Though much is said throughout Jeremiah, we often see him go back to the idea that “There is none like you, O Lord; you are great, and your name is great in might” Jer. 10:6. May we not forget that it is ultimately God’s work that is being done in Colombia and that His name is to be praised in all we do! That bein

    An Adoption Story

    On May 23, 1988, my twin, Matt, and I were born near an orphanage in Bogotá, Colombia. Little did I know, just like many others of you, that in that moment and because of that moment, so much emotion would transpire over the years from many different sides. From the beginning, it was never about me. In fact, someone much greater than any of this knew about it all beforehand, and I am continually learning that to this day. It would take many pages to write all that has happene

    Colombia: Update From the Front

    Psalm 135:5a, "I know that the Lord is great,.." Yesterday, it was a year since my arrival to Colombia. First, I spent a few months in Bogotá, then I moved to Medellín. There are so many words to describe this past year, but the verse above simply says, "I know that the Lord is great,.." and indeed He is! So much has happened in this past year from meeting new people, joining a great and God-fearing team, getting sick almost every other month, seeing several people and a fami

    COLOMBIA: Update From the Front

    Please be in prayer for God's work being done in Columbia. The following is an update from a dear friend about some of the work that is being done there for God's kingdom.

    Loving the Least of These

    [31] “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. [32] Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. [33] And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. [34] Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundat
