Thank you again for all your prayers. The Halloween night was a success. There were just under 200 under kids that came to our Halloween alternative. At around 3pm our team met and made up 200 bags of candy to give away to the kids, we filled their bags and had candy left over. As far as I know there were no more kids that went missing and little Daniela was found. Apparently her father was really abusive so she ran away. She is now living in one of the homes run by the Colombian social services. I am thankful that she wasn’t used as a sacrifice and I am thankful that she is no longer living with an abusive father. Some kids do run away from these homes, stating that they are being abused there. So a better alternative then the first two situations she was in. Sometimes it is so easy here to lose hope, or to not have hope. To look around and see these kids and the situations they are in and where their lives are heading....
Here we go on another adventure, tomorrow (if I get this blog written and posted today), I leave to go to New Zealand……So I thought I would just take a couple minutes to update you all on what is happening in the next phase of my journey… I came back to Canada mid December and it was so nice to catch up with a few of you and those that I haven’t seen, do not fear I am just gone for a few short months and then I will be back. So as I mentioned I leave tomorrow for New Zealand, and I am SUPER pumped… this is a dream come true, it has been on my bucket list for awhile now. I will spend a month travelling around, seeing the sites as well as visiting some friends and then mid February I head to my Leadership Development Course for six weeks. I am so looking forward to this course and have heard nothing but great things about it and I think it will be so beneficial to leading camp in the future. I get back to Canada at the end of March. I will spend some time ...
What has been happening in the life of Ingie you may ask, I would tell you that is a good question. I can believe where the time has gone. It’s already the middle of May and in a month we will already be half done the school year. CRAZY. While the girls I work with have a lot going on in their lives and while at time it seems overwhelming I am very blessed to be working with them. Such a difference from last year when everything seemed to be a fight, this year it feels like real work can be done know that a relationship has been formed and trust has been built. We have also split up the girls and have been doing smaller group discipleship with them, which has been good. My girls have been honest and open and have some hard questions and have shared their doubts, which have been awesome that they are willing to be so honest, but please pray for me and for wisdom as I attempt to answer their questions. There are two girls that a...
