literacy class of Colombia

March 3, 2014

Thank you so much for your prayers for our trip to Colombia.

to b or not to v

Joyce has returned from her time in Asia-Pacific with a full heart. Over and over it was obvious that God was leading, encouraging, giving health, wisdom and protection each step of the way.
