July 4, 2010

A year ago today, I was in Lomalinda, Colombia. Here I am by the grave of Chet Bitterman, an American who was willing to die for the sake of seeing God exalted in Colombia. May Christ's kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven!  

"We often hear of ancient dynasties, but what are they when compared with the Lord? Are they not as the bubble on the breaking wave, born an instant ago and gone as soon as seen? …The ungodly are all foam and fury, noise and bluster during their little hour, and then the tide turns or the storm is hushed, and we hear no more of them; while the kingdom of the Eternal abides in the grandeur of its power."

(Charles Spurgeon)

Hi. I came upon your site when I was googling Chet Bitterman, specifically a picture of his grave. My family have been friends with his wife and her family for many years and I remember his kidnapping. I am giving a talk on his life and would like to know if I could use your picture of his grave in a handout I am preparing. Thanks, Nathan Birx

Hi Nathan. Somehow your comment got lost in cyberspace (for A YEAR!) and I never saw it. My apologies. I'm sure you don't need the picture by now, but please go ahead and utilize it if you still have a use for it. God bless you!
