Finca - Shalom, Colombia

We had a privilege to spend 4 days with pastors and leaders on a camp ground  of Finca-Shalom.  The schedule of all of our activities was very busy from 7:00 in the morning till midnight! Prayer time, worship, seminars and workshops, fellowship, and worship, and worship, and prayer again! Great time to get refreshed and ready to continue God's work. Delicious meal was provided three times a day

The beautiful view at the camp ground!

The weather was warm - summer time in January at South America!

The theme of the conference was "Restoration of Family and Prophecy" - Restoration of Ministers' Families! Pastors and leaders really need this fresh anointing of refreshment and restoration. God is still working with family relationship

Up to 300 people were at camp. Many of them had a place to sleep in the buildings but some should stay in small tents that they brought with them.

Our first Marriage and Family workshop. Next day this room could fit up to 50 people and other 10 were staying outside and listening through the open windows.
