Ok so I lied... there´s one more.

So I was going to be done with the computer, but today was super cool and I wanted to share a little about it. But I might as well share about yesterday too. Yesterday in the morning we did a kid´s program in a mall and it went really well. Actually, three teenagers came to Christ. It was super cool! And then in the afternoon yesterday we did some dramas outside of a mall and that went really well too. People have been super responsive and many have changed their lives. Praise God! But today was even cooler. This morning we did a lot of praying and worshipping God. This afternoon we went to this place that is a very strong spiritual stronghold by the devil. It´s an area where witchcraft has been practiced a lot and many dark things happen there. So we decided to go and pray and worship God at the highest point. While we were praying Ruth felt like we should do our drama called Sunday, Bloody, Sunday. She felt like we should do it kind of prophetically over the place and over Bogota. So we did.

This is a drama where I am a girl who´s family is always yelling at me and they are always angry and pointing out my failures. I´m lost in the world. The whole time Sjoerd is standing to one side as Jesus, and Ruth is standing on the other side as satan. After my familys been pushing me and slapping me for awhile Ruth comes in and offers me something to smoke. So I smoke it (not really, mom. it´s just acting.) and then I throw it on the ground because it didn´t help me. Then we all freeze and Ruth comes up and hammers one of my feet to the ground. We unfreeze and my family´s attacking me again, but this time I can´t get one of my feet off the ground, so I´m freaking out even more. Ruth comes by again and offers me heroin. I take it and do it and then throw that down too because it only affects me momentarily. I freeze again and she hammers my other foot. I unfreeze and I freak out because I can´t move at all and both of my feet are stuck. Then my family unfreezes and is attacking me even worse. Finally Ruth comes up and throws me down to the ground and I try smoking and heroin again. Then I slowly stand up and Ruth kind of nails me to a cross. Then Sjoerd comes up behind me and takes my place and I fall to the ground. Ruth shakes me and tries to wake me, but Sjoerd comes and scares her away. Then he lifts me up and hugs me and offers me his hand. I don´t take it right away. I decide to look around some more first. I´m still kind of doubting. Ruth comes back and when I don´t choose to follow Jesus, she grabs my hand and pulls me. I fight her and try to get free, but I can´t for awhile. Then I finally grab Sjoerd´s hand and he pulls me free. I kneel down and just watch as he defeats Ruth and she is destroyed. Then together we praise God.

So that´s the drama we did today in this evil evil place. It was super powerful. Many Bible verses were read and songs were song and we just felt a real feeling of liberation. A darkness had lifted and the city was given a little bit of light and freedom. It was incredible. However, afterwards Ruth and I were both emotionally, physically, and spiritually worn down. We are both still exhausted and feel as if we actually were fighting a dark presence. It was intense. But incredible. And I just can´t praise God enough. He works in incredible ways and the way He is working through us during this time is mighty and amazing. I praise Him for the lives of many people who are no longer going to hell. I praise Him for the openness and receptiveness these people have toward us. I praise Him for the changes I am already seeing in Colombia, in our team, and in myself. Our God is an awesome God.

This time I really won´t be writing again until after Leticia. For real. So I hope everyone has an awesome three weeks. I can´t wait to tell you all how it goes with the tribes and such. I miss you all lots!

Que Dios les bendiga!
