Exactly one month ago we left La Serena, Chile to come back to the states for itineration. We will spend the next 12 months or so visiting churches sharing about the work we did in Chile these last 3 1/2 years. As hard as it was for us to leave, we have to be faithful to this aspect of our call. We are grateful to be part of a team that is working together to further God's kingdom on this earth. If it wasn't for the churches and individuals that support us we couldn't do what God called us to do...reach university students. So we are here to tell them thank you and share the stories and miracles God did in Chile! We are also here to share the new vision God has given us to extend CONEXION across the nation of Chile. The work is not over it has just begun!
