I arrived in Medellín, Colombia on August 9th to begin a new journey in a new country. New sounds, new sights, new food and new relationships have already enriched my life and captured my heart. I do not believe that I am alone in my impression of what Colombia would be like, based on news reports both past and present. I was so uninformed and misled. The commitment, endurance and passion of Colombians to help one another is unlike any country I have ever visited.
We (Ken Yinger, executive director of OMS - Canada and I) have encountered people passionate about serving widows, orphans and men, women and children in zones of conflict. I will be blogging stories with pictures of REAL life in Colombia. Some of these stories will wrench your heart, others will inspire your spirit with joy.
Until Next Week...

ReplyDeleteTake care.
Hi Art - Great to hear from you and the level of excitement that the Lord is stirring in you. The Gospel of the Kingdom - this is what Jesus was and did - and sent us in His name to do likewise - no doubt that the Lord will continue to stir you and others along the way into His Harvest - the people of the world.
