Hot off the Press

I work with the Investigation and Political Advocacy Project at Justapaz. Each year we publish a report documenting cases of political violence from Protestant and Evangelical churches in Colombia. Though my contributions felt minimal, it was an honor and a moment of pride to have accompanied this process for a full year cycle. It is a worthwhile project, documenting both the pain and hope of church communities in Colombia.

International Day of Peace


McKay-Epp Family


We are so lucky to have several Menno-connections here. Our former professors of International Development, Paul and Mary McKay have a daughter here, living in Colombia with her three children. We have had some good times together, and traded off kids and sleepovers periodically. Every once in awhile it is nice for our children to connect with other extranjeros, and we always enjoy our time together.

A heart for simple things


Creator God-

Give us a heart for simple things
Love and laughter,
bread and wine,
tales and dreams.

Fill our lives with green and growing hope.
Make us a people of justice,
whose song is Hallelujah
And whose name breathes love.
