Bucaramanga

Thank you for your prayers for my transatlantic trip at the weekend. Everything went very smoothly, and I and my luggage all arrived safely at our destination. These first two days of meetings with the core leadership team are being spent at the YWAM missionary training centre which is on a mountainside overlooking the city of Bucaramanga. The yellow arrow in the photo is pointing to where my bedroom is. It was dark when we arrived late last night, but I still woke at my normal time this morning, and took this photo from the door of my room as the sun had just risen at 6 am. 

After a delicious breakfast, prepared by our hosts, we had a productive first day of prayer and preparation for the ILT meetings. Tomorrow our prep time will continue, and then the rest of the team (a further 17 people) will arrive on Wednesday, and we'll drive an hour north to the place where we'll be spending our week of ILT meetings.
