I see the presence of the Holy Spirit in the enthusiastic and confident faces of the participants who receive scholarships. Despite their economic needs and social conflicts, they reflect the hope of a more just world.

Recognizing the movement of the Holy Spirit is seen many times as the waters of this river, calm and still, but running. Sometimes, some of its mysteries are not seen, but are deep, we do not know how it is. We do not know what the Holy Spirit is; but we know this if we immerse ourselves in the Spirit and enter the water we will know more. This is how the Holy Spirit is in the community, sometimes we do not measure everything the Spirit is and everything the Spirit does for us, or recognize that the Holy Spirit is always moving.

Sharing as a family and enjoying the work of the Creator God, I feel the care and manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

Celebrating the International Women's Day

Today, IELCO celebrated the International Women's Day with a special worship service for the women. The worship service was in Castillo Fuerte (Almighty Fortress) led by the 3 women pastors of the Central Region: (as pictured left to right) Pastor Angelica, Pastor Rocio, and Pastor Consuelo. Women from many of the congregations in Bogota attended, there weren't enough chairs for all - what a great problem to have! The Holy Spirit was definitely present!

Water is Life

Part of the EcoVida (environmental) project of IELCO in Boyaca was the protection of the source of a river. The project finished in December of 2017. Water is life, and the Holy Spirit continues to move in this community even though the project has concluded.

The Holy Spirit always accompanies us in the beginning, during and after in our work with the communities. This year a new project started with teenage girls in the south of Bogota with "Lluvias de Gracia" in the neighborhood of Porvenir.
