Flood victims

There has been flooding in different areas of Colombia and this picture shows some of the families that we met that had lost everything they owned. One of our churches in Bogota gave us money to buy them a dinner, they hadn't had any kind of meat for a couple weeks, and also to give each family some bags of food. We had a wonderful evening singing with them, some of the people of our church performed in a drama, and Tim was able to share the gospel. What a blessing it was to share God's hope with these people at Christmas time!

Christmas at the orphanage

Our son Tim is here with us for Christmas and went with us to celebrate the holiday with the girls at the orphanage. We brought each of them a pretty pair of socks, flower hair clips, and some candy. They were so excited and have always appreciated any little thing that we bring them!

Christmas program

The children of our church performed a number of songs for our Christmas program and 6 of them memorized poems about celebrating Christmas in different countries around the world. They all received a special plate of Christmas cookies at the end!

Kid's camp

Seven of the children from our church heading off to Kid's camp! They went from Dec. 13-17 and had an awesome week learning God's word, playing lots of games, and making a lot of new friends!
