Crossroads Colombia

About Crossroads Colombia:

Crossroads Colombia was born out of the recognition that people in prison are in deep need of support—spiritually, socially, physically and emotionally. The inspiration and vision of this ministry were passed down from previous director Pastor Antonio Prieto, who served for more than nine years, to Pastor Hans, the current director.

Pastor Hans and his team further developed Crossroads Colombia by creating pilot programs in various detention centers. Starting with about fifty students, Crossroads Colombia quickly realized the need to expand the program because they were seeing extraordinary results.

Crossroads Colombia worked to create partnerships with several churches and ministries, all of which were pleased to participate with the program. Coordinators were placed at each detention center to work with the students; this way, the program could be run in a very personalized way.

Since December 2018, Crossroads Colombia has been legally constituted as a nonprofit organization established for eminently social purposes. These social purposes include the common good, spiritual assistance, informal education, mutual help and human solidarity. Crossroads Colombia does not discriminate based on age, gender, race, politics or religion. The ministry works to bring all prisoners a message of love, peace and compassion. When the ministry is financially able, they also work to provide material help to those most in need. Above all else, Crossroads Colombia centers their energy on serving those in prison.
