Medellin 7
From California on a Mission Trip with my Church Group. Have spent a week in Monteria, and now back in Medellin. This City is beautiful, very clean, the people are friendly, and the transportation is adequate with taxis being everywhere. We have visited many of the Covenant Churches in both Monteria, and Medellin. We have stayed with Pastors in their homes and shared much love which has built our relationships stronger, and more enduring. We will be leaving this Friday after two weeks in Colombia - but we shall return to do more work expanding God´s Kingdom and working along side our our brothers and sisters - as it should be. We all love Colombia...
