2019, North Bogotá Congregation
Michelle was part of a team that planned to move to north Bogotá in order to establish a new congregation. While the team did not move there together, a Colombian family, the Valderramas, continued with the plans, assisted by missionary Bob Brown. Michelle was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of the first meeting of that “Unicentro” congregation in March 2000.
While Michelle lived in Venezuela, she was using a tourist visa and therefore had to leave every 90 days. Usually three times a year, she would return to Bogotá from the neighboring country’s capital city of Caracas, and visit the church.
Therefore, the pattern of return visits to encourage the brothers and sisters, was familiar to Michelle and became a foundational pattern in the early plans for Iron Rose Sister Ministries.
