Super Vacas continued strong today! The children are such a joy to be around, hug, and encourage as much as we can with limited language. We've also all been encouraged by the teenagers, college students, and adults who have been around and been privileged to hear some of their stories.
After Super Vacas, we headed to a friend's house for lunch. They were so hospitable and fed us a delicious Colombian meal. After lunch, we had an unforgettable experience that can hardly be put into words. Lunch could be summed up into a few words: memorable, confetti, nerf guns with icing, costumes, and TONS of laughter. It was QUITE the experience and one I'm sure none of us could ever forget.
We got back in time to get ready and head to the last night of the discipleship conference. Pepper taught on the Master Plan of Discipleship, then we broke into men and women again. Ben walked the men through How To's of Discipleship and Brittany walked the women through the same lesson. God was so gracious to us in giving us all the opportunity to be a part of this conference. The Holy Spirit was at work, revealing the need for discipleship to many in the room.

Pray that the men and women who came to the conference would: 1) Hold fast to their faith in the Lord 2) See their need to follow Christ's command to make disciples--whether they are in vocational ministry or not 3) Pass this information on to other believers
After a long day, we were able to sit around the livingroom with some teenagers and college students. We talked about life, where God has us each right now, their families, how they all were exposed to Christianity, and why we all are in DownLine. This was one of the most special experiences for us because we were able to really hear honestly about the lives of young believers here in Colombia. Pray they would also hold fast and that their lives would continue to be transformed by the gospel.
