Sharing the Love of Jesus in Zarzal, Colombia

– Clean Water, Hope, and Opportunity
In Zarzal, Colombia—a small town two hours north of Cali—life is marked by daily struggles.

Families live without running water or electricity, relying on long bicycle trips to fetch a single 5-gallon bucket of water each day. Beyond these physical challenges, many face a deeper need: the hope and love that only Jesus can provide.

This July, I will join a mission team to bring practical solutions and spiritual renewal to this resilient community.

Our Mission:
We are committed to transforming lives in Zarzal through three powerful initiatives:

1. Clean Water Access:
We will design and install solar-powered water catchment systems for three homes. These systems will provide families with running water for the first time, eliminating exhausting daily trips and restoring dignity to their daily lives.

2. Sustainable Income Generation:
We will teach residents how to create beautiful beaded jewelry using accessible materials and techniques. Once completed, we will import their creations to Puerto Rico to sell on their behalf, giving them a sustainable way to generate income and improve their quality of life.

3. Sharing the Love of Jesus: At the heart of this mission is sharing the Gospel and inviting the community into a relationship with Christ. We will host a revival in the village plaza with preaching, worship, and evangelizing—bringing hope, joy, and unity through the transformative love of Jesus.

Why Your Support Matters:
This mission is about more than clean water or teaching a skill—it’s about sharing God’s love in tangible ways. Water systems will provide health and dignity. Jewelry-making will empower families with income opportunities. And sharing the Gospel will bring eternal hope to those who need it most.

How you can help:

I need to raise $3,000 to cover travel expenses and project costs for this mission. Your support can make this vision a reality:

Donate: Every dollar helps us bring clean water, hope, and the love of Jesus to Zarzal.
Share: Spread this story with your friends, family, and networks to amplify our impact.
Pray: Your prayers are invaluable as we prepare for this mission.

Be Part of This Journey:

By donating today, you’re not just funding a project—you’re helping share the love of Jesus while creating lasting change in Zarzal.

Together, we can turn scarcity into abundance and struggle into opportunity.

Thank you for believing in this mission! I’ll share updates along the way so you can see how your generosity is transforming lives in Zarzal!
