This blog is an effort to keep our friends, family and other loved ones up-to-date on planned family journeys to aid, assist or otherwise attend to those that we feel God is calling us to. In the future, there may be other places, there may be other lands, there may be other people-groups. For the present, however, we are planning on going to Colombia to work with children and those who work with children this August. Specifically, we are going to Medellin, a city roughly the size of Chicago on the Western end of the country.
Furthermore, we are trying to raise awareness of what it is we are doing there and what it is we are doing to prepare to be there. At this moment, we have been throwing fund-raisers (which include monthly bake sales, a Wii tournament), meeting monthly as a whole team, learning more information on the culture, climate and people of Medellin (as well as of our own prejudices), and just recently meeting in our smaller groups.
More information to come shortly.
