In the heart of Colombia, where the vibrant culture of indigenous communities blends with the lush landscape of the Caquetá region, Pastor Efrain Calambria has dedicated over twenty-five years of his life to serving as a beacon of hope and faith. As an indigenous pastor, Efrain is a trailblazer, spreading the message of Jesus across places that have seldom been touched by the gospel.
From the beginning of his ministry, Pastor Efrain faced skepticism and resistance, primarily due to his ethnicity and limited formal education. In Colombian society, indigenous people often experience prejudice and marginalization. Yet, Efrain remained steadfast in his calling. His love for the gospel and his unwavering belief in the transformative power of Jesus propelled him forward.
Through Pastor Efrain’s partnership with Every Home, countless lives have been touched and transformed. Communities that were once resistant to the gospel and divided are now experiencing the peace and love of Christ.
Pastor Efrain’s journey is a powerful testament to the resilience of faith and the profound impact that one dedicated person can have on the world. It reminds us that, with God’s guidance and the support of fellow believers, we can overcome any obstacle and bring the light of Jesus to even the darkest corners of the earth.
