Family goes beyond borders and languages. As family in Christ, we share in a blood bond that we carry unto eternity. If you have been a part of studying the Bible with someone or a member of their family, that bond grows even deeper and stronger.
Gina and I share such a bond. I was there when her mom was baptized, when her brother was baptized, when she was baptized, and also during the time shortly after her father passed away. Every time I visited Bogotá, Gina and I would go to dinner and catch up about life, family, and our spiritual walks.
It has been almost eight years since we’ve seen each other and we’ve each matured a bit since then. She is now married with a daughter and another on the way. I am looking forward to spending some time with her again on this visit to Bogotá and rejoicing in the ways that God has continued to work in each of our lives.
