Keila & Ashley
Almost out of the blue, Ashley Howe, a college student whose parents go to our church in Portland, approached Jacob and me about volunteering at the orphanage in Bogotá. At first we were thinking she’d want to visit for a week or two, but instead she flew down on a 3 month ticket! God does not cease to surprise us with random blessings. HE knew that we needed Ashley’s help, even though WE didn’t know it.
Ashley is taking off a semester from the college of art she attends in Vancouver BC so that she can ponder God’s calling for her life, and in the meantime, serve the girls in the Beehive. She has experience with filmmaking, which is exactly what we’ve been praying for. An informative video on our website will be so helpful for people who’ve never been to the Beehive to understand what it’s all about and actually see the lovely little faces of the girls. She’ll spend some of her time capturing footage and interviews for this video, and the rest helping out in the orphanage and brushing up on spanish!
Please PRAY for Ashley, as she adjusts to the culture and builds relationships. We are so grateful to her for venturing into the unknown taking initiative with this project! Meanwhile, you can also view a photo slideshow that Keila made – as it’s mostly comprised of pictures and music, you will enjoy it even if you don’t read Spanish.
