Arrived in Bucaramanga

As they say, better late than never! Such was the case for our arrival at 10:17 PM in Bucaramanga. But we were all in good spirits and were greeted by our new friends.


The van driver and his helper did a great job of loading our luggage! 


After a good night's sleep, we had a great breakfast at the hotel followed by our first team devotion time. Out time together in God's Word is the best way to start each day!




We then had the opportunity to visit First Baptist Church of Bucaramanga and have a time of orientation with our new ministry partners.


Thank you for praying as we adjust to being on the field and begin our week!

    We are praying for you everyday. May your time with Sam Purse be an outpouring of God's love for these refugees. And may you be a blessing to the people with whom you serve at the local church.

Wednesday was team t- shirt day and it was great to share some shirts with our ministry partners in Bucaramanga! They are part of our team too!  Not long after the doors opened, the “salon” filled with over 80 Venezuelans! What a blessing to start the day in God’s Word as Babatunde reminded us all how to find “rest” in Christ! After most had eaten, received clothing and had showers...Diji had room to spend some quality time with one of his new friends. Kids are kids everywhere and these children don’t have much opportunity to just be kids. This is the view from the front of the church where a line had formed for the evening worship service which is followed by a meal. Another full house! We were excited to share our “Emotions” skit with them. Many raised there hands and prayed to receive Christ during this service...PTL! Our day ended with a short outing to the historic town of Girón. It was s great time to enjoy some of the history and be

An Amazing Sunday

Our team was so blessed by the warm welcome and hospitality of the First Baptist Church of Bucaramanga!  We had a great morning worshipping together with this church, spending time in prayer and  growing together in God’s Word.  The Pastor and his wife both recently had birthdays so, after church we participated in a time of celebration for the pastor and his family.  Complete with a live band singing “Happy Birthday” and many other songs of celebration for this special family in this church! Later on Sunday, we were able to go through all of the clothing, shoes and supplies we brought for the church’s “Touch of Life” outreach ministry that will go to Venezuelan immigrants and others from the community in the days ahead!  Our Sunday ended with a dinner of empanadas and cheese...and time in God’s Word. We are so thankful for the day the Lord has given us today! And thank you for your prayers as we go to the Samaritan Purse Refuge tomorrow!
