El Abrigo, a foundation giving light and life in the darkest places.Â
Changing communities through the power of God.
Transforming lives and futures.
89% of Cali’s population live in poverty.
What We Do
Children’s Foundation
A day care centre provides education and 3,750 meals a week for up to 250 children, Monday to Friday. This helps single parents, as well as giving an opportunity to those who need to work.
The foundation also runs “back to school” programs, to help kids back in to education. It also runs several medical campaigns a year, helping those in the local community.
The Church
The Church provides outreach into the local community and aims to bring the Gospel to life and show Jesus’ love in action.
As well as services at the weekends, the Church hosts 100 people at a weekly Wednesday morning service. The Church also provides pastoral care, a Women’s ministry, Young Adults Ministry, Bible study and provides free food and clothing to those in need.
Music Ministry
Music plays a big part of what we do at El Abrigo, with Pastor Hendrik himself being an accomplished guitarist.
Music is used as evangelistic tool to bring joy and peace.
Over the years, Pastor Hendrik and friends have been involved in concerts, and have promoted Christian music for radio and television programs.
