framing the summer and our steps

We will be serving with the Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) in Tiquisio, Colombia from July 14-27. Our short term delegation was invited down to join the Colombian church's Peace witness, where the CPT has had a violence reducing presence since May of 2001. Standing in prayer and solidarity, we will seek to learn from our brothers and sisters to better act out the core tenants of Christ's nonviolent gospel.



The formation and mission of the CPT

Thereafter, we will move south to come alongside of Cory's uncle Tim Deppe, the founder of an organization called Bookseed. Tim works throughout Latin America, delivering learning materials to rural schools and seeds to diversify crops varieties.

Bookseed:

We hope to use this blog as an avenue to convey our experiences and the goodness and truths we are given to uncover. This blog is an invitation for you to join us in prayer, our provision from the Lord. We also ask for you to take time to consider the injustices that are being perpetrated in so much of South America, especially Colombia, and to join us in discerning our relationship and responsibility towards them.

Paz,

Cory y Nick
