So, who are you? We are a Christian community of faith that wants families with integrity, young people with life projects and happy children. We work to be a living example of the Grace and Love of God for humanity establishing His Kingdom. We carry the good news of Salvation, making disciples, feeding, healing, teaching, equipping men and women who can give of grace of what they have received in grace, impacting the environment, the community and the nation.
We are located in Juan XXIII neighborhood in the east of Bogota in Colombia. We are an active part of the society of this district serving children and people that live in it and making part of its dynamic and work for its own development and improvement. We are leaded by Oscar Fernando Quevedo, our friend and our pastor. He is in love with Angela Sanchez, his wife and they have Ana Maria, their daughter.

Joy in Children's Community! The Children's Community is very important to our church. Children of the church and the neighborhood regularly attend and are part of it.
Activities range from cognitive stimulation, through hip-hop school, dance school to the Arts and Values program.
It is a series of activities to enhance the cognitive development of children while teaching them about Jesus and yet reinforce nutrition.
This month the focus is life as a gift of God, with emphasis on joy. Children invented a news TV show called "NOTIKIDS Prince of Peace", the idea is that they start to listen to others, their ideas, and ask what people think about joy. This will help them to form their social skills.
This work is directed by Connie Romero. The kids love her. The activities take place during the week on Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday in Sunday school.

Children participate in activities planned especially for them, receive nutritious snack but above all love and care. Many of these children are alone at home during the week while their parents work and others do not receive what they need.
Lots of Energy! Here we all work, we are not many, but we do for many. Youth for example, work for community processes: they get together to support the neighborhood with ecological processes, drug prevention and promotion of culture. Soon we will have an event where we plan to paint murals to brighten the walls of a neighborhood block.
And the Girls The women met to organize productive projects, projects of life that we call "entrepreneurial woman mother." Focused on the dignity of women in different roles and places in society. This involved the women of the church and the women of the neighborhood.
Recreation time, Parent School and flea market are other activities we do in our Church.
Women are so strong!
