Under the direction of Mimi Torres, The Colombia Project is a ministry established to help the poor, the needy and the underprivileged children in Colombia South America. Through this ministry HIM has helped to fund the start or support as of this date of eight different Colombian Christian Foundations. These foundations are presently providing clothes, school supplies, financial aid. The project also helps and sponsors a Rehabilitation Center for young adults in Bogota, Colombia. we also provide covering and support to a Church Foundation  in a very poor section of Nogales, Mexico.

In May, 2003 Hispanic International Ministries started a support ministry. Under the name “Colombia Project”, H.I.M. The Colombia Project is continuing to support these foundations and Churches and the pastors who minister to the people living in these needy areas.  Most people living there come from the most poverty stricken segment of the Colombian population, The Lord has placed several of  these communities surrounding Bogotá and on very poor regions of the country in Chocó, the Sierra Nevada Koggi Indian Tribe Christians, the destitute outside of Santa Marta, Funza, Mosquera, Usme, Duitama Suba and other towns.

It is our desire to see other people in these areas brought to the Lord and to increase the local churches’ abilities to minister to them in practical ways.  In order to do this we pray that you will join with us in order to eternally affect an entire nation and in time the entire South American continent.  Your love offering for the Colombia Project will allow us to provide more items to sustain the programs, and to obtain a small passenger bus and a tent for evangelistic crusades.

In addition, The Colombia Project  hosts a Christmas festivities for hundreds of children in all of the communities above, providing meals and gift packages with toys, clothing, personal items, candies, etc. for many of these children these are the ONLY gifts they have ever received or only Christmas gifts they receive as their impoverished families have no resources to provide any gifts for them. Also, we fund a Christmas dinner for the Drug Rehab Center Casa de Dios (House of God) as well as, provide Christmas Gifts for all those in Rehab.

Although most of us have felt the effects of the worldwide economic recession, we know that the Lord is our Provider and He has admonished us to remember the poor, the widows and orphans.  He is the one who has promised to multiply the seed we sow and to meet our needs. The apostle James reminds as in James 1:27 that “pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit the orphans and widows and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
