Our First Day at FBC Bucaramanga


The room filled quickly after the doors were opened for the daily “Touch of Life” outreach at First Baptist Church of Bucaramanga. What a blessing to welcome those who had been walking for days and were in need of clothing, shoes, a shower and words of hope and encouragement. 


Connie led the morning devotional and it was right on target!


Our team had many opportunities to get to know the families and individuals who had left everything and were looking to start a new life in Colombia or in a neighboring country. We shared God’s Word and prayed with them. It was evident that God was at work in many of these people’s lives.


We helped them pick out clothes.



And were even able to provide minor medical care because the Lord provided a nurse (Baba) on our team!






We heard many heartbreaking stories and were so thankful to provide a little comfort and encouragement in the Name of Christ.


It was hard to see them go but our prayers go with them!

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
