The Nueva Jerusalén Church of the Nazarene in El Palmar, Colombia, suffered irreparable damage following an earthquake, leaving the congregation without a permanent place to worship. Church members are currently gathering outdoors as a temporary solution, creating an urgent need for a safe and suitable facility. This project seeks to purchase approximately 1,500 square meters of land and construct a new church building that will provide a lasting home for the congregation.
Through the purchase of land and construction of a new facility, the church will be able to establish a secure and welcoming environment for worship, discipleship, fellowship, and community outreach. The new building will also provide dedicated space for children and youth to learn about Christ, grow in their faith, and participate in church activities.
Despite the challenges caused by the earthquake, the congregation has witnessed a renewed spiritual interest within the community. This project represents an opportunity to build on that momentum by creating a place where individuals and families can find encouragement, experience Christian fellowship, and discover the hope found in Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the new facility will strengthen the church's ability to serve its community, nurture future generations, and continue sharing the Gospel for years to come.
