Emmaus House

Profound transformations always happen when our guests see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts the paradoxical realities of Colombian life and ministry. Casa Emaus facilitates lodging, logistics and bilingual communication for individuals, groups, congregations, and organizations participating in cultural and mission-driven immersion visits in Colombia.

Located in IELCO’s administrative headquarters in northern Bogota, Emmaus House serves as a retreat center, place of hospitality and missionary reflection-action for national and international groups that are part of the broader mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia.

From this strategic location, participants can experience the rich diversity of Bogotá and Colombia in general. Gap year opportunities for pastors, families or individuals recommended by our friends are always available at Emmaus House. Resources from Casa Emaus are reinvested in mission projects of the Lutheran Church of Colombia.
