BOGOTA, COLOMBIA

Sometimes called “the Athens of Latin America,” Bogota, is a city of universities, a political center, a hub of Colombian business and industry, and a tourist destination. This is the home of the very rich and the very poor, of famous drug lords and famous authors, and it is a city in which God is building his kingdom.

Here, in partnership with a number of healthy, indigenous Colombian churches, the MTW Bogota team works in three areas: an English-language international ministry centered around the United Church of Bogota; college ministry through Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) at Bogota’s National University; and assisting the Reformed Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Colombia in planting churches and training Christian leaders throughout Central and South America. All told, those three branches of the team cover a lot of different ground—yet they are united in their central vision and mission to reach Colombia with the gospel, planting churches, working to renew the city, and advancing the kingdom of God in Bogota.
