The Colombia Accompaniment Program combines my life-long passion for Latin America with my spiritual call to reach out to the world and the divine imperative to love our neighbors both near and far. It is a natural fit for me to return once again to mission and volunteer work in the region that began in 1972 . I look forward to supporting our sister Colombia Presbyterian Church in its advocacy work for the displaced and voiceless in that country.
Leaders in the Presbyterian Church of Colombia are taking great risks in their human rights work and their support of the communities of Colombians who have been displaced by the violence of the forty-year war in their country. They have asked us to act as international accompaniers in order to provide a measure of safety—international eyes—for their work.
The Presbyterian Peace Fellowship is working with PC(USA) World Mission and the Presbyterian Church of Colombia to train and deploy short-term mission workers to Colombia. To date (since 2004) we have trained over 150 volunteers, over 100 whom have served.
