A Brief Report

During my trip to Colombia, the biggest lesson that I learned is that God always has a plan for His children. He can use us wherever we are to build up His kingdom whether we already have plans or not. When I got to Colombia I did not know how I would be serving but God quickly put me to work. Most of my time was spent visiting sick members of the church who are not able to come to fellowship because of illness or disease. The rest of my time was spent teaching English to preschoolers at a small church based education program called Pepe! Iglesia Bautista Manantial was welcoming, loving, and so excited to have me visit and serve alongside them as they reach out to their community.
