August 2024 Update

Greetings! I hope everyone is doing well. I want to thank everyone for your support as you prayer for the work God is among the displaced indigenous people here in Bogota. Please pray that the word of Christ would speed ahead and be honored, that the gospel would advance throughout the world unhindered. I have now been in Colombia for twelve years. I arrived in Bogota in August of 2012 to work with indigenous university students. In January of 2013, I began working alongside another missionary focusing on the displaced indigenous in Bogota. The missionary with whom I was working has since left Colombia. I have worked at times alone and at other times with Colombian believers. I currently work alongside both US and Colombian missionaries. And more Colombian partners are beginning to get involved in the displaced indigenous work. The displaced population in the city is in flux. They change locations in the city. The move back to their territory or to another part of the country. At times, those who leave Bogota come back for a while. None of the people I started working with in Bogota are still here. All of the indigenous I met those first few years in Bogota have left the city. But throughout all the changes over the past twelve years, God has remained faithful. He will continue to be faithful.
