Christmas program

We had a great time with our teenagers as they performed a drama for Christmas, helped the children's class get ready for their drama, and sang some specials as you can see in the picture. It has been a blessing to work with these young people and to see their excitement and willingness to serve!

Leader's Retreat

Our Leader's Retreat this year had about 90 men come out to learn about Handling Finances. This is a special retreat for pastors, deacons, and leaders in the church. Many were challenged about their need to manage their finances more carefully and encouraged about the principles that were shared.

Feminario (Ladies Day)

Once a year the ladies from our churches in and around Bogota meet together for a special time of fellowship and learning. This picture shows the ladies that came from our church in Funza. Some of the lessons we covered were Integrity in the Christian life, Trusting in God, and the Sufficiency of God. It was a sweet time of encouragement for all!

Kid's Day at Funza

What a fun time we had doing a Noah's Ark kid's day at our church. It was exciting to see our teens get involved as they helped with songs, games, decorate frog cupcakes and put on a special puppet play also! We are enjoying working with the youth at our church and praising the Lord for their willingness to be involved in serving.

Pastor's Wives Retreat

The pastor's wives, from our churches here in Bogota, went on a special day outside of the city to rest and be encouraged. Each of the missionary ladies prepared a lesson that related to these ladies lives and Sharon taught a lesson on the home. What a sweet time of fellowship for all the ladies!

This was out first candidate class from our churches here in Bogota for missionary preparation! Tim is teaching a class on how to give a presentation at churches. We are excited to see how God will work in the lives of these 7 candidates!

Sharon at Ladies Conference

Sharon was invited to talk with the ladies at the Tenjo church. She had a wonderful time sharing with the ladies how God works all things for our good - Romans 8:28. It was a blessing to spend time with these dear ladies!

Tim at Men's Conference

Tim had a great time with the men at the Tenjo church. He was invited to come and talk with them about being leaders in their homes. It was a great time of fellowship to be able to share with the believers at this church!

Young man considering Missions!

We have had the blessing of Joshua Yerkes visiting with us this month! He had been to Colombia once before and now is back visiting and considering how God could use him here in Colombia. We appreciate your prayers for him as he heads off to college and seeks God's leading for his life.

Good Friday Service

We had a sweet time of fellowship with our church family at El Camino on Friday night. We meet in a garage when the community center is not available but the place doesn't matter when you're praising the Lord together!

Our good-bye to Joshua

Our daughter Amy and her husband Ryan!

What a blessing to spend time with Amy and Ryan on their visit to Colombia! Although it is a cloudy day, we enjoyed showing Ryan the city of Bogota. We are praising the Lord for the sweet time of fellowship that we enjoyed with them!

8th Anniversary of ¨El Camino¨ church

What a blessing it was to be a part of El Camino´s 8th anniversary celebration. It has been wonderful to see how the church is growing under Pastor Omar´s leadership. Tim was invited to preach and challenge the people about continuing on in their growth and outreach.
