Ibague, beautiful city, beautiful people.
We hate to leave our friends behind but today we travel back to Bogota. It is cooler today thanks to a rain storm last night. Ibague is at a higher elevation (no Zika virus mosquito ) so it usually has warm days and cool evenings.
We had lunch with Juan Carlos, family and friends. One of our greatest joys is growing deeper in our relationships with the people of Colombia. We have the blessing of serving alongside these people who are committed to reaching Colombia for the Lord. As we all feel the same, lunch became a strategy and planning session. I always want to confirm that we are not just assuming we will be invited to return. It was wonderful to hear, yes, they value our partnership just as we do. Thankfulness for our Kingdom relationship quickly turned into ideas for the future: more lectures at the University of Tolima geared toward business students, and an outreach in "el centro" (the plaza on a street downtown similar to Nicollet Mall).
So here we are now after a four hour uneventful bus ride from Ibague to Bogota. With a storm raging outside we're going to order pizza, shower, and talk through the plans for tomorrow. We will be with Pastor Esteban at Iglesia Tiempo de Dios. VBS in the morning, activities in the park and ESL in the afternoon.
Pray that the Lord will be honored.
