Last week we traveled together to the department (state) of Boyaca to attend our Regional YWAM Conference.  Our keynote speaker was John Dawson, one of YWAM’s pioneering fathers.  It was such a blessing to get to know him a little better and be inspired by his stories and teachings!  After the conference was over, we went sightseeing to nearby Villa de Leyva, a beautiful and quaint colonial historical town in Boyaca.

«One of the most beautiful colonial villages in Colombia, Villa de Leyva is a city frozen in time. Declared a national monument in 1954, the photogenic village has been preserved in its entirety with cobblestone roads and whitewashed buildings.» -Lonely Planet
