Leticia Colombia

We arrived in Leticia after a 2 hour plane ride from Bogota. It is a city located on the
border with Peru and Brazil at the very Southeastern tip of Colombia.
There are no highways leading to this city so we flew. When flying
over Colombia it is remarkable what a beautiful countryside it
pertains. The landscape is like a quilt of greens and browns so unique
and deep in color.

Approaching Leticia we saw the Amazons overflowing into our window.
The trees are absolutely endless. There is no way to imagine counting
them all. And beautiful rivers snake through the lush forrest. It is
really spectacular. What a beautiful creation!

At the airport we also encountered a young guy in a wheelchair who has
had spinal meningitis since he was a baby. He had two huge casts on
each of his legs. He was having surgery to improve his muscles. We
asked if we could pray for him. His only request was to be healed and
so we prayed precisely for that. Please keep him in your prayers.

On the plane we met a very nice young lady from Leticia named Rosi
(actually her name is something more complicated in Portugese) but she
said we could call her Rosi. She told about Leticia, then started
opening up and telling us about her life. The FARC guerrillas killed
her husband just 4 years ago, leaving her with two small children and
the shock and sadness of such a tragedy. The Colombian government has
promised her some support but delivered very little. We encouraged her
and assured her we would pray for her and keep in touch. One of our
dreams is to help single mothers like her who need support, better
opportunities, prayer, and love.

In Leticia we were able to pray with a young man who had an injury
from a bullet wound. He was very kind and happy to receive prayer.

Also, Joanna received her VISA FOR BRAZIL!!! Thank you so much for
your prayers and support. We leave for Manaus, Brazil tomorrow. We
will be sleeping in hammocks on a boat travelling through the Amazon
for 4 days.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.
