Our team is excited about this trip and we are praying that God will fill our hearts with love for children and open our minds to the way he wants to use each of us to share that love with people in Barranquilla! We are so honored and grateful that you have agreed to share in this opportunity with us, through your prayers and support. Please use the prayer points on this sheet as a guide and a reminder to help you pray for our team. May God deepen your own experience of His love as you pray for others!
