Fundacion Camino de Emaus Emmaus was born at the crossroads where human tragedy is intersected by the healing grace of God and the empowering solidarity of the Christian community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While serving a small mission congregation, Trinity Lutheran Church in Edgemont, South Dakota, a sad day in July 1991 Pastor Barbara and Natanael were told their expected son could not survive the pregnancy complications detected by the doctor. They lost their son to death and were devastated by loss and grief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their grief was shared with the small congregation and the small Sunday school class of 12 children asked what they could do to lessen such loss. Children were asked to gather pennies so that one poor child in Colombia could attend elementary school. The children got really excited as piggy banks were given to them. Each month children brought their banks full of pennies. By the end of 1991, they had gathered $112.96 and thus provided the fertile seed for what is today Fundacion Camino de Emaus. Such is the amazing potential of humble seeds! <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ek6flhy elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ek6flhy\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;triangle&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M500,98.9L0,6.1V0h1000v6.1L500,98.9z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd3d3a5\" data-id=\"fd3d3a5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4529f61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4529f61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the unique story of Trinity\u2019s children offering of pennies was shared with family members and friends, other Sunday schools and congregations also started making financial gifts. What started with pennies kept growing, much like the mustard seed story of the Gospel. Besides scholarships and Christian leadership formation, other services were offered including a Meal a Day for Displaced Children, loans for families to purchase their first home, evangelism initiatives and technology projects for schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our name as Fundacion Camino de Emaus comes from the Gospel of Luke where two disheartened disciples walk the Road toward Emmaus after Jesus crucifixion. Overwhelmed by grief and loss, they saw no real hope for the future. As these disheartened disciples keep walking, the presence of the Risen Lord rekindles in them a new-found hope and joy. Amidst their pain and grief, the Risen Lord walks with them, reminds them God&#8217;s word and ignites within them the burning fire of compassion and new-found community. By breaking bread with them, the Risen Lord transforms their despair into relentless hope and bold witness.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fundacion Camino de Emaus passionately believes in the promise and potential of formal education that transforms the whole person and is contextual in nature. Education per se, without spirituality and solid Christian values, important as it is, falls short. Unless the human heart is transformed, &#8220;the world will be filled with educated monsters&#8221;. Without being fanatical or sectarian, we are passionately committed to formal education with an intentional Christian leadership component.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With joy and thanksgiving, we celebrate that through these past 31 years, hundreds of students have been blessed with scholarships to pursue elementary, secondary and university education. Most students have gone through the whole educational process. Major fields of study include Preschool Education, Elementary Education, Food Services,\u00a0 Environmental Sanitation, Graphic Design, Architecture, Theology, Religious Sciences, Graphic Design, Bilingual Services, Aeronautical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nursing, Medicine, Systems Engineering, TV &amp; Radio Broadcasting, Logistics &amp; Marketing, Finance &amp; Banking Services, Social Psychology, Marketing &amp; Publicity, Music, Modern Languages, Physical Therapy, Mathematics, Diesel Mechanics, Business Administration, International Business, Chemistry, Biology and many others. Miraculously, what started with a tragedy in the Lizarazo-Wangsness family and with humble pennies in the small town of Edgemont, South Dakota, God continues to grow into the blooming ministry called Fundacion Camino de Emaus! <\/span><b>And the mission of God goes on!<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Foundation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia, we are fully committed and passionate about fresh and new chapters of holistic ministry and joyfully invite our mission companions to continuing being part of God&#8217;s empowering and healing mission here in Colombia. Our heartfelt gratitude to the Southeastern Minnesota Synod-ELCA, Companion Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Colombia and Fiscal Agent for Fundacion Camino de Emaus. <\/span><b>Together we are \u201cempowering individuals, families, and communities as agents of social change.<\/b> <b>Soli Deo Gloria!
