Colombia is situated on the northwest corner of South America and it is the fourth largest country and most populous nation on the continent. The country is divided between huge mountains in the west of the country and forests and plains in the east. Colombia has large oil reserves and is a major producer of gold, silver, emeralds, platinum and coal.
The population is around forty seven million people and seventy per cent of these people live in the urban areas of the country. Although the official language is Spanish, there are a total of seventy-seven languages spoken in the country.
There is also a wide gap between the traditionally rich families of Spanish descent and the majority of the mixed-race population.
LIM's Work in Colombia:
Evangelism: LIM works alongside the church and Christian organizations in church planting projects, community and children’s evangelism; adopting special projects and targeting un-reached groups. Equipping & training: LIM provides formal and informal education to train those willing to serve locally and overseas; and to equip the churches who are willing to stand behind them. LIM has developed a relationship with local organizations to provide them with training in Cross Cultural Communication and Missions, as well as a variety of workshops to equip and train the national church. Community Development: LIM is bringing hope to ex-addicts, high risk children, orphans, needy communities; providing crisis prevention, education and distributing goods. (Paseo Nacional & Comedor del rey de Reyes) National Church Mobilization for Local & Worldwide Missions: LIM is committed to challenge and encourage the church through our different seminars, workshops, global challenge and global action programs to be national champions of worldwide missions. We would like to see many missionaries and short term volunteers coming to this country to serve the local church and to mobilize Colombians to bring the gospel overseas.
