La Chinita (Women's Colombia Team)

Over the last several days, we have been exposed to some of the kindest and most loving people I've ever met. From the translators to the nationals to the people with whom we are sharing the Gospel, we have encountered such amazing love.

For the past few days we've been sharing the gospel with people in the barrios of Barranquilla. When we started, it was awkward and difficult to do, but over the last couple of days it certainly has gotten easier and more fluent. So many of these people have heard the story of our Savior before, but it was so wrapped up in religion and condemnation that they have given up hope, so we get to share the real truth with them.

One of the sweetest moments I've had was when we were evangelizing in La Chinita. The day was hotter than hot, but God opened up the heaven's, and the rain came down; so a family invited us onto their porch. We had a captive audience! :). We were able to share the Gospel with the family. The whole family accepted Christ, we prayed for them, and we were able to hold an I am Second group with them. When it was time for us to leave, the mother said, "I was in a bad mood when you first came here, but now I am so happy." WOW! That is the power of God!
