Hey Folks,
It's late at night and we are making ready to return to Chicago. We are grateful to have supported our GEBC missionaries in their work in Bogota in some small way.

We ate some terrific food, saw some beautiful sights, but even on our last day were blown away by our opportunity to minister to teenage moms some barley more than 13 years of age. You will notice a picture taken near the district where prostitution is legalized. Amidst the 8+ million people in this city, amidst the traffic, the bustle, and the lostness, God is building his church and raising up a strong generation of believers. What a great celebration we will have in heaven one day. Any further words will not do justice to what we saw and experienced.

Thank you to the Larsons who serve at ECA in the library, teaching photography, computers, and loving students. We look forward to their coming to Illinois for the birth of their second child.
Thank you to Beth and Rafa Afanador. They lined up people and places to serve from morning to evening. They were good hosts and are challenging examples of lives dedicated to the furtherance of God's kingdom.
Having said that, we couldn't resist a picture of Rafa trying to get us into the inauguration celebration for Colómbia's new presidente!

| Come on Rafa you can do it...maybe with just one more phone call |
Sunday will be spent in debrief and travel. This will take our team more than 15 hours. Compared to the over 30 hours we spent in vans while here, this is nothing! Besides, it was for the ONLY cause worth an investment of this nature.
We are grateful for the time we had here and for your prayerful support. Thanks for having a part of reaching the least and the lost for Jesus.
