As of yesterday morning, blue team started yet another adventure. At breakfast, the greater southbound team was surprised with a challenge to get from Mousoorie to New Delhi. The tasks: near to impossible, The Purpose of getting back to Delhi: achievable only with God’s help (seeing as we were given $0 for the challenge). Regardless, we set out. We set out with Strength and with Honor and with Delhi in our future.

      After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

As we write this, we are safely in Chiclayo Peru.

This week, we were surprised with what Global challenge likes to call a “challenge.& rdquo;

      After an amazing and exhausting journey from Peru to Guatemala we have finally arrived! Here, we are based in a small touristy type town nestled in what appears to be mountains surrounding a lake. At a closer look, these mountains are actually volcanoes and the lake is just that is a huge crater from a previous standing volcano. Panajachel is a tranquil little town. Everywhere you look, the Guatemalan people are catering to the tourists that pass through. But if you look closely, you will see the people remaining true to their culture.

Beautiful faces, big smiles, chopsticks, sqatty potty experiences, hacking loogies, and amazing scenery…TIC (This is China.)

 Where else could a team of laymen have a mud fight, eat incredible Colombian food, and finish a HUGE rerouting of a sewage system project in less than two weeks?  Well, in Fusagasuga you can if you are the Blue team. Yes!, the five of us embarked on this massive project with our baby soft hands and frail backs only to complete the project as burly Russian like work women and man who conquered the tough Colombian terrain.     

Today, the Blue team was faced with a challenge. it started last night at about 11:00 pm and continued this morning at 4:40 am. It all started with a dance; thats right, and Africans song and dance

There are times in our year’s journey of the greater Southbound team that the magnificent 14 will be divided. Among these smaller groups, is the “blue team.”

Colombia! We are here! For the past 2 week s we have been here and we have been having a great time! We arrived in Colombia safe and sound.  While we’re here, we partnered up with New Tribe Missions.
