Bogata, Colombia, SA and the Highlands Camp

As far as the Evangelistic Event for Parents (August 6 and 7), we we're bit disappointed with the attendance. I think the last figure was 287 parents who attended. So in spite of factoring in the "no shows", we didn't calculate it well. There were over 100 people that stayed here in Bogota who could have gone if we had just known so many were not going to show up. We had about 2/3 women and 1/3 men. The latest figure as far as people saved was 97 adults. We had several Christians that slipped through, so the proportion was probably close to 40% of the lost who responded to the invitation. We have to get better at filtering out the Christians that just want a free camp, and estimating those who don't show up so that we accept more applications.
This past Sunday we had a special service for all of the parents who went camp. We had over 632 people in our services. That is almost double what we were averaging. By the end of the day, 4 more adults had accepted Christ as Saviour. I think it was a very worthwhile effort. Thank God for the 120 volunteers we had at camp, and all the great people that helped here in Bogota!
We just moved into a larger rented facility last February, and it appears that we will be starting a 2nd service shortly.
Thank you all for making this possible.
