MEETING MAMBIA...

It’s hard to put into words how amazing our first day out in Mambia was.  We were welcomed by about three hundred people including all the village leaders.  There was a processional and the children sang songs for us.  We were then read a formal thank you and individually introduced.  We were given a sheep and two chickens!  One of the most exciting things was that we were given a large piece of land to build our English and Bible school on!  There is so much more to share that will have to wait until our return but needless to say, we were all moved and touched by God in an amazing way yesterday. 

By the way, we do see the comments and we thank you so much for your prayers and your encouragement!

Wonderful to hear about your first day. Someone once said if Christians were as good at advertising as Coke the whole world would already have heard about Jesus. This picture helps prove that theory. Love the coke bottle. May the name of Jesus be high and lifted up.

This picture and blog brought tears to my eyes. The joy on Brianna's face and on the children around her lets us know how moving this experience is. We miss all you guys and are in constant prayer for the team.
