After a lonely and challenging week and a half in Bogota we were anxious to find a church to attend this past Sunday. Jackson was sick but we had to get out of the apt so we decided to attempt at least part of a service. There is a English-speaking, non-denominational church 4 blocks from our apt that we had heard about and decided it would be the best option for that day (united church of bogota). Seth has a co-worker that attends there so we at least would recognize one face in the crowd. Seth’s co-worker, Adam, met us at the door and began introducing us to other people. One of the first people we met was a lady named Pam. She happened to be from Texas which gave her points with us.  As we talked to her more we learned that she and her husband are actually missionaries with MTW (Mission to the World, a mission agency of the Presbyterian Church in America) and that our church in Dallas, Park Cities Presbyterian is one of their biggest supporters. The church was having a vote that day to confirm her husband Rick as the pastor. We were blown away at the connections. When we got home from church we were jogging our memory because their name sounded so familiar to us. Seth checked his email box and low and behold over 3 months ago we received an email from someone at MTW that knew we were moving to Bogota. She told us about a couple who had lived in Bogota for years and would be returning for ministry around the time when we would be coming to Bogota.  It was them. How can it be that in this massive city that four blocks from our home we found like-minded people, English speaking, familiar with our church back home and from Texas???? We are pretty excited. We have no idea if this is exactly where we will end up during our time in Bogota but we are confident that God was using this to give us a much needed reminder that He knows us and that He knows exactly what we need, when we need it. I’m sure this won’t be the last reminder we need.  You can be praying for us as we work to plug in to the community of Christians and find out how we can serve.
