John Fillingame, (pictured at left in the red shirt) was willing to have an adventure.\u00a0 John had come with the First Covenant of Sacramento, CA, Men\u2019s ministry team twice before and this time he was ready to be stretched and challenged even more during his time in Colombia.\u00a0 When Gary asked who wanted to sleep in the small hamlet of El Hato, John volunteered.\u00a0 When Gary talked about going to the new church site in La Ye, where we had not partnered before, John raised his hand.\u00a0 He was ready and he was willing.\u00a0 Unfortunately, after the second day in La Ye, John was laid out, sick.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t able to do anything accept lay around in a small, hotel room and hope he could get better\u2014a very frustrating way to spend a week in Colombia on a work\/mission team.\u00a0 Pastor Sandra, foreman Francisco, and the rest of the crew from La Ye were quite concerned about John.\u00a0 Even though he had only been around for a little more than a day, he had made an impact.\u00a0 Everyone wanted him to get well and come back to build the church.\u00a0 Everyday, many times each day, they asked about John.\u00a0 Was he okay?\u00a0 Had he tried this home remedy or that medicine?\u00a0 When John walked into the Wednesday evening Church service, the people actually clapped and jumped up to greet him.\u00a0 John, the kind spirited member of the team was alive!\u00a0 He was back, and on Thursday he was going to be laying bricks again.\u00a0 So, John rode on the back of a motorcycle through the countryside, walked more than a mile along the highway of La Ye to get to the church site, recovered from dehydration and heat stroke, discovered the joy of a good fan in the heat of El Hato and La Ye, and laid more than a few bricks for the Help of God Covenant Church.<\/p>\n
