Look what’s taking shape in our sewing program—sweatpants! 🧵✂️ Our apprentices are putting their growing skills to work, one stitch at a time. We’re so proud of their hard work and all they’re learning!

Who wants a pair? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

❤️ THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to ARDF and to each and every one of our generous donors who came together to support earthquake relief efforts.
Because of your kindness, compassion, and generosity, more than $19,000 was raised to help with the rebuilding of our Nursing Home/Nursing school in Quindio, Colombia both of which were impacted by the earthquake.
Your donations are doing so much more than helping rebuild buildings : they are helping rebuild homes, hope, education, and a future for those who need it most.

We are deeply touched by everyone who gave, shared our story, prayed, encouraged us, and stood beside us during this difficult time. Every contribution, large or small, has made a difference.

Thank you, ARDF, and thank you to all of our amazing donors. Your generosity is a beautiful reminder of what can happen when people come together with love and compassion. 🙏❤️

With grateful hearts, thank you for helping us rebuild.

❤️ ¡GRACIAS DESDE EL FONDO DE NUESTROS CORAZONES! ❤️

Estamos profundamente agradecidos con ARDF y con cada uno de nuestros generosos donantes que se unieron para apoyar las labores de ayuda tras el terremoto.
Gracias a su bondad, compasión y generosidad, se recaudaron más de 19 000 dólares para contribuir a la reconstrucción de nuestro hogar de ancianos y nuestra escuela de enfermería en Quindío, Colombia, ambos afectados por el sismo.
Sus donaciones hacen mucho más que ayudar a reconstruir edificaciones: ayudan a reconstruir hogares, esperanza, educación y un futuro para quienes más lo necesitan.

Nos sentimos profundamente conmovidos por todas las personas que contribuyeron, compartieron nuestra historia, oraron, nos brindaron ánimo y nos acompañaron durante este momento tan difícil. Cada aporte, grande o pequeño, ha marcado la diferencia.

Gracias, ARDF, y gracias a todos nuestros maravillosos donantes. Su generosidad es un hermoso recordatorio de lo que es posible lograr cuando las personas se unen con amor y compasión. 🙏❤️

Con el corazón lleno de gratitud, gracias por ayudarnos a reconstruir.

🧵 The first finished products from our sewing school are here! These pencil cases look wonderful, and we’re so excited to see how much our apprentices are learning. Each stitch is a step toward new skills, growing confidence, and new opportunities! ❤️

“Establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” — Psalm 90:17 (ESV)

Thank you for helping Mission Colombia make this possible!

A little more light for a lot more stitches!
💡🧵

Mission Colombia helped with purchasing new lighting for our sewing school room, helping our students see every stitch as they learn and create.

“Let your light shine before others.” — Matthew 5:16

Thank you for helping us share Christ’s love in practical ways—and making the future a little brighter! ❤️🇨🇴

Yesterday we celebrated Joe Burklow’s 50 years of sobriety—and the many lives his love and generosity have touched. ❤️

Before sharing a video and drawings from our kids in Colombia, Fr. Jason said:

“Of all the people you have helped, there are people, five years ago, you would never had imagined you would ever have known. They live in Colombia.”

What a beautiful reminder of how God connects our lives through Mission Colombia. We love you, Joe, and thank God for you! 🇨🇴

🇨🇴 43 STUDENTS. 43 STORIES. 43 FUTURES BEING CHANGED.

A huge shoutout to the 43 incredible students attending our Mission Colombia Sewing School!

These students are doing more than learning how to sew. They are learning a skill that can open doors, create opportunities, provide for their families, and help break cycles of poverty.

And let’s hear it for the dedicated teachers who are pouring their time, knowledge, patience, and hearts into these students. You are doing Kingdom work!

This is what missions should look like.

Not just telling people that Jesus loves them, but showing them through action.

Not just meeting today’s needs, but helping build tomorrow’s opportunities.

To our 43 students: Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep pushing forward. Your future matters, and we believe in you!

To our teachers: Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

Mission Colombia isn’t just about changing circumstances. It’s about changing lives through the love of Christ.

The Gospel is not just something we preach. It’s something we live.

In case you missed it at Synod… or loved it so much you wanted to see it again. ❤️💙💛🇨🇴

Here’s the video Mission Colombia shared at the Diocese of Quincy Synod!

It’s a little glimpse of what God is doing through this ministry, the relationships that continue to grow, and the incredible people in Colombia who have become such an important part of our diocesan family.

Thank you for praying, giving, going, and being part of the Mission Colombia story. ❤️

What a joy it was for St. Michael’s to welcome friends from Synod this past Sunday! These are the moments that make the work of Mission Colombia so meaningful—building relationships across borders and bringing brothers and sisters in Christ together, not simply as partners in ministry, but as family.

Around one altar were people representing two continents and four countries, worshiping, praying, and sharing the Eucharist together.

This is the heart of Mission Colombia: connecting people, strengthening relationships, and discovering again that the Church is so much bigger than any one parish, country, or continent.

Two continents. Four countries. One Church. One family. One altar. ❤️🇨🇴🙏
