As I write this update I cannot help but think of the date on which I am writing. Every time I here 9/11 I still think of that terrible day in 2001 when so many people lost their lives in the terrorist attack. Please take a moment to remember those who were involved and their families. But, as I think of it I also praise God for his mercy and grace. I think about how God was able to use a tragedy like that to bring people to Him and to have so many people find His love through that time.
Now as far as an update from Colombia I really wish I had better news than I do. Jackie and I have a four day break that we were not expecting. On Wednesday there were so many students and teachers gone because of a virus making its way through the school that they decided to close school done from Thursday until Monday. They are hoping to stop the spreading of the virus.
The break is much needed for Jackie who continues to battle her health issues. Right now she is trying to get over the virus and deal with the pain of the kidney stone that she has. She is doing everything she is supposed to but the pain is still coming and going. It is very similar to her kidney infection that she had his past spring.
We also had our staff retreat cancelled for this weekend which we were really looking forward too. But, like I said there are many teachers who need the rest so we are hoping when we go back to school on Monday that everything should be back to normal.
Other than that things are going well. Next Saturday we start our ministry with the street kids in southern Bogota and we are very excited about that.
Please continue to pray for Jackie and her health issues. Also, please pray for our school and all the students and staff who are sick.
Lastly, please pray for all the street kids and orphans that we are going to be working with and for our safety as we travel to some areas which are not as safe as where we are at right now.
Thank you again for your continued support!
