Day 7
Written by Caleb (Feltis)
The first day of our ministry in Bogotá started with a lot of us having had little sleep. Cal swore that there was a rhythmic milk jug beating on his window the entire night.
On the bus we felt convicted that we had been perhaps more enthusiastic for Ibagué than for Bogotá. This sparked a time of prayer on the bus, which afterwards made us feel a lot more energetic for the upcoming day.
We started in the morning with a VBS, our role was to play the music for the children. Pablo dutifully attempted to teach the kids the songs before realizing he didn't know the songs himself. Nonetheless, the children got very into the singing and the dancing and we finished playing to a chorus of smiling faces.
(Pablo rephrased the previous paragraph along the lines of 'we had a partayy with the kids'. I thought this important to include)
After a quick lunch, we went out to start street evangelism. The Colombians had prepared dances and plays to preform to draw in crowds to whom they would talk to afterwards. The first performance wasn't a rousing success, on account of it being rained out. But we persisted and went again, inside this time. The second performance was met with applause, and we prayed over many.
The day ended with the surprise that we're participating in a flash mob tomorrow! I have gone through the moves exactly three times so I can't imagine my dancing will be anything less than absolutely professional.
Our prayers at the beginning of the day have most certainly been answered. We all met the church in Bogotá reenergized and excited. A little under half the group had never seen this church before but already strong and hopefully lifelong friendships are being formed. Spirits are high and we're all ready for tomorrow, flash mob and all.
Ciao,
Caleb
