Esperanzas de Vida, our ministry for working with pregnant women, has taken turns we couldn't have foreseen. The house next door to the base opened up, and to make a long story short, Ana Cristina and I moved in. It was kind of a leap of faith, because we have yet to see exactly how we will be able to pay rent every month. But neither can we doubt that God was at work to open these doors for us. Right now the house holds two beds, an empty frig, an oven, and all of our clothes. We're also waiting to see how God will fill our house, with furniture and things and also with girls. We also are praying diligently for a team that will work with us. Because things are starting so much more quickly than we had anticipated, we will need more help. God has definitely been doing some amazing things thus far, so we're kind of excited to see what could happen before the new year!
Right now I am in the US visiting churches and getting training from pregnancy centers and the ministry Living Alternatives. Ana Cristina is holding down the fort in our new house as well as attending a conference in Medellin and making contacts with churches and Family Services. In June we'll be back together to share what we've learned and to dive into finding and counseling girls.
The rest of the school is in their outreach time. There are three groups, one in Yopal, one in Cordoba, and one in Armenia. Please pray for all of them, specifically their effectiveness, team unity, safety, and attentiveness to God's voice.
More exciting news coming soon....
