Bogota

At 7 o'clock in the morning our friends brought us to the airport in Bogota, Colombia. It's time to go home. Everyone is tired and satisfied about what was done during the last week.

Bogota city is located in the mountainous and at this trip, as never before, we experienced a hard breathing all the time due to the high altitude: not enough oxygen to breathe.


Driving up to the steep incline.

After four days of the conference, we ministered in churches few times on Saturday and Sunday (pictures above and below from different churches)


Also, we had a privilege to minister to pastors from the hard to reach areas. They arrived from the area where is no electricity yet, no roads, no any civilization so far; many of them came from jungles. We prayed with them. God gave us a strong word of encouragement for them. Our God is going to do something very special at that areas. Our God is God Almighty!

That's Olga helping in the kitchen. On that small kitchen we prepared meals for our big team.

On the picture above, you can see that onstruction work is almost done on this project. The church in Bogota has a large lovely heart for the street children and already has many projects for them: this building should be used for children as well.


What kind of work is going on the hill? Potatoes harvest! People are picking potatoes. They got many bags (sacks) of potatoes. Praise God for a great harvest!

At the last day, we participated in the children ministry. The church purchased gifts for kids who live far away on the very hill. That community has its lighthouse (I didn't see any river around...)

On the top of the mountains was cold. Colombians do not have any heater systems (normally, they wouldn't need it). They have had warm clothes. Also, many of them kept mouth covered by scarf.

Games and New Year presents! Children had a school break in January.

What is in?
