A journey to Colombia and The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia (IELCO) by a Synod delegation is being planned for July 26-August 6, 2018 in partnership between Ascension Lutheran, Edmonton and the Synod.
The purpose of the delegation journey is to experience, embrace and engage the contexts and ministries of our Synod’s Companion Partner (IELCO); to build relationships with our sisters and brothers in Christ; to explore stronger ties between partner congregations in our Synod and IELCO; and to seek an expanding global understanding of faithful discipleship through the Lutheran Colombian context.
The journey will include many opportunities to meet our Lutheran sisters and brothers in Christ, and to experience a variety of ministry contexts in Colombia, as well as several ministries offered through IELCO in Bogota, Yopal, Paz de Ariporo, Bucaramanga and Sogamoso.
