We are a unique blend of people who have given up our time to visit a beautiful village of Brisas del Mar. We have fallen in love with this forgotten village, tucked away in the northern corner of Colombia. The village has seen destruction and devastation through the years due to the drug wars and the paramilitary governments.
But one would never know it, because the moment you step foot into their village, you feel enveloped in a blanket of love.
These people who have nothing love with everything.
The people of Brisas del Mar.
Through the various blog posts that will grace these pages, you will hear stories of those of us who have visited through the years.
You will meet the teenagers, the kids, and the adults of the community.
And we are sure your hearts will be captured, just as each of ours have been.
Today's post is simply to introduce you to Brisas del Mar. And welcome you to our blog.
We hope that you will read along with us and feel as if you are there.
We hope you will sense the power of how God works in all of our lives.
We hope that if you have any questions, you will reach out to us- we love to share our vision and our hopes for this village.
We have watched God perform miraculous events in the village and we have seen their lives transformed and have been transformed ourselves.
One could throw a dart anywhere on the map of the world and be able to find a need. But our dart has taken us to Brisas del Mar, Colombia.
Won't you journey with us into the story book pages of these beautiful people's lives?
They have much to teach us. We go to serve them, to serve the Lord. But we come home with having learned far more than we ever imagined possible.
We feel a calling to this corner of the world, to help the less fortunate, those who want to give love as much as they want to receive it. We want to touch their hearts and take a little bit of hope into their lives. We want to show them Jesus.
We are the Mission to Colombia.
