Worship at Christian Community of Faith Church, founders of Viento Fresco.
Medellín, Colombia, June 6-13, 2015 A team of six from Wisconsin and Colorado experienced a Spirit-filled week in Medellín as guests of Jen and Tom Atwater, directors of Viento Fresco (Fresh Wind) Children’s Center. We were able to minister to the children at the center, and to families in their nearby homes. We were also able to build a house for a family in a neighborhood called La Sierra, which is recovering from a violent past. This renewal is led by men and women who have exchanged their drugs and guns for a Spirit-led life. What a great blessing to hear their powerful and moving testimonies!
