I never thought I would be so excited to see toilet seats, toilet paper, and hand dryers. My greatest desire in entering the states was to take a deep breath of fresh air and see our manicured lawns. I definitely enjoyed my time in Bogota and I would eventually love to go back and work with an organization (CDA) there.
Here is a brief overview of what I did in Bogota. Every day our team was up and out by 8 or 9 am to head to various locations where we were able to minister to orphans,school children, cancer patients, or displace people from the war in Bogota. Every person on my team had a chance to share their testimony and lead a ministry time. Then, we would head back to the school where we were staying, get a quick lunch and then head to the prayer room that Sin Muros (the church that housed us) had just started. It was amazing to be able to minister for half of the day and then go to the prayer room and ask the Lord what he was thinking about happened during the day.
And I am honored to have run with my team. As I step back and look at those who were with me, I remember that these people have spent around 30 hours a week in prayer for the past 1-6 years. These were people who knew the Word, but they also have the prayer life to back it up. They have living understanding of God’s heart from their own experience. I saw many of them move with power, healing the sick and moving in the prophetic. You know God has to be moving when someone is prophesying in English to someone who speaks Spanish and that person is sobbing. I saw little girls soften as our team took the time to just simply hold them or just talk to them.
There is a lot more to say than this, but I am going to have a day by day recap of what happened in Bogota, Columbia. Starting this week I am going look through my journal and blog about what I experienced while I was there. So, keep your eyes open, more is coming!
