Colombia is a country that struggles with violence and corruption. The result is tens of thousands of internally displaced people (IDP) huddled around the major cities of Colombia, desperately crying to keep their children away from soldier starved armies.
In the cauldron of an IDP zone, the effects of sin are often magnified. Many fathers abandon or abuse their families, mothers desperately cling to the next man that comes along (often for safety), and children join gangs.
It is in these IDP areas that our partner Corporacion Dios es Amor (CDA) is operating (with funding from Word & Deed). Christian schools filled with sponsor children are integrated with medical clinics, vocational training, microloans projects (small loans for family run businesses) and many other supporting projects with the intent of transforming entire families and communities. Since the golden thread of the Gospel runs through each of these projects, many also come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. Even in the darkest areas, the bright light of God’s amazing grace is at work.
Congratulations!
