Come along with us on a journey

A journey of Hope

In a dream she saw a bright light. She followed the light to a large open Bible. Her eyes observed the words on the page in front of her She read the verse. When she awoke she told God that one day wants to learn to read in order to study His Word. In her 50s and has never learned to read or write. Next Tuesday we begin an informal time of learning this skill most do not fully appreciate. May her dream come true!
 

Luz (Light)  who has seen The Light and who is experiencing the transformation of The Light of His Word!

"I want to change! I tell God, change me. I don't want to be the same. Before I heard the Bible from you two, I did not feel this way."A true testimony of the transforming power of God's Word! (Also shared by Luz)


The expression on his face loudly spoke of his disgust each time we arrived at his mother's home for Bible study.  He was entangled in the Worship of our Enemy and the use of mind-altering drugs.  Together with his family we prayed for him and his brother.  We observed God's answers.  He began working-making Arepas; Colombian bread.  Then attending the English club for youth with us.  Yesterday he allowed us to pray with him!  Needless to say, his mother, Luz was amazed at his openness!

PHOTO COMING!

Remember Emilio, the young boy who said, When I grow up I want to be a missionary if Mr. Nelson will train me? One week he went home and taught his father the lesson we studied, using all the illustrations Nelson used. The next week his father joined us! Each night he sits with his mother to read the Bible to her!  Hmmm, sounds like he may have already started being a missionary!

Conversation on Wednesday; "My mom doesn't love me. She tells me so." Conversation on Sunday; "My mom moved to Bogota and took my baby brother. I miss her. My sister does too. We cry." Living life together with so many who need the hope of Jesus! 

Girl and her sister.  Today they were not crying!  We were celebrating her birthday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We visited her home.  She needed a walker, her leg was injured and her hand and arm were mangled.  Her face void of hope.  We found a walker and asked if we could pray with her.  The next week we returned to see how she was doing.  What a surprise!  Her leg is almost healed.  And her arm and  hand, well her  husband had to ask  which one had been injured. 

God's healing power!
