Tuesday in Bogota

Tuesday morning after devotions, we "worked the streets" near the hotel.  This area is called Salitre and is filled with banks and large office buildings.  

Starting on this day, we had one less translator as Bayron had to go back to work.  So, David asked me to step in and help.  I worked with Nick Hubbard, and we were able to share the gospel multiple times.



Jose prayed to receive Christ us.
Tuesday afternoon we went to Centro Protecion Bosque Popular, a government-run home for more than 130 formerly homeless or abandoned senior citizens.  The home was well-run, the location was beautiful and they all seemed happy.  We did learn that it is a transition home--most of them will be there less than 6 months as the government seeks to find a permanent placement in one of their other locations.  Some of the team members sang for them, Don Laity gave the gospel, we brought a snack and the team from Valley Baptist made a small gift for each of them.  

Stephen talked with Orlando, who spent 10 years working as a surveyor in Alaska.  His English was still very good.  We also met and talked with Marta, a very feisty 80-year old.  

 


 

It was wonderful to see some of these precious older people ask Jesus into their heart.  It was a great day in Bogota.
