For many years, the Cumberland Presbyterian Church (CPC) in Colombia has carried in prayer the dream of planting congregations in the northern region of the country. Today, by God’s grace, that dream is coming to life in Planeta Rica, Córdoba, a town of hardworking, resilient people who face challenges of displacement and social need every day.

Into this town came Pastor Joaquín Duque, displaced from his home by violence, with a deep desire to plant a church firmly rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ. What began as a small prayer gathering in his home has grown into a vibrant congregation of over 60 committed members and a discipleship ministry reaching more than 120 children. God is truly at work in Planeta Rica!

Now, this growing church faces its next challenge: a place to call their own. A modest yet permanent building will provide families a safe space to worship, children a place to learn God’s Word, and the congregation a home from which to share the Gospel with future generations.

This year’s Gift to the King Offering will make that dream possible. Just as God gave us His ultimate gift—Jesus, who “made His dwelling among us”—your gift will help provide a lasting home for His people in Planeta Rica. Every dollar, every prayer, every act of generosity brings us closer to giving this community a place where faith can flourish and God’s Kingdom can grow.
