One thing that I have noticed among Colombians is hope. There is hope for a better tomorrow and hope for change. As the youth group expands so does the passion that is in the hearts of the youth to reach out to the community. We have had several events that have involved the whole community. One was a concert in another town called Analaima where youth from several churches as well as adults gathered in a public square for a Christian concert. This concert lasted until 11pm. Then last Saturday we had a worship event in the town theater in La Mesa and many people from the community came out. There was an altar call at the end of it and 3 people accepted Christ for the first time. One of those people was a police officer who looked to be in his 30´s. I found out later from my host dad that he was a commander in the police force in La Mesa. I was excited to see this because it showed God even reaches and softens the hearts of armed forces and government officials. I believe that this is one area that God wants to move in here. Only time will tell. As my host dad once told me little by little things are changing and change is pòssible.
