Feb 23 - Day 7

It's so hard to believe that we've been here for nearly a week! We have experienced so much and seen God's work time and time again here. I am so amazed at the spiritual growth team members are experiencing. The thirst for knowledge and the unity of our team has encouraged everyone to be very active in devotional discussions and to share God's love with the children.

Tonight for devotions, we shared with the boys at Exodus House on "cooperation". The guys made a human pyramid to illustrate the teaching. Psalm 133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Praise God, indeed for team unity!

Yesterday, two of our guys told the story of a small boy running up to them in the street and hugging them as their parents looked on. Yes, they checked their pockets after, and came to the conclusion that these little folks see team members hugging CVII children in the neighborhood all the time and were wanting the same attention.

We are making so much progress with the new kitchen and bedroom painting - God has given our team so much strength. However, despite my earlier report,Tim A. is under the weather again. I plan to pull a "mom" tomorrow and have him stay behind and rest for the morning. Those who know Tim and how dedicated he is may realize the battle that potentially lies ahead :) Please pray for healing for him. Blessings to all from Colombia!
