Children and youth living fully, with hope for life, creativity and love for themselves and their community.

Our mission is to accompany the next generation by providing spaces where spiritual counseling and artistic expression combine to contribute to their development as human beings in community, helping them know they are loved by God, with dreams, capacities, and potential for the present and the future.

Throughout our lives, we have faced many challenges, some typical of growing up, while others were traumatic events that left a wound in our childhood and season of youth, like rejection, discrimination, and growing up in a violent environment. We know many children and youth face similar challenges.

We have experienced God’s grace in non-conventional ways. He has shown us many ways to connect with Him, the world, and ourselves, transforming the pain into strength for healing and serving others.

Creativity is God’s love language, and we enjoy His creation, His beautiful sunsets, His colors, smells, and textures. The power of creating has been shared with us as mediums to connect with children and youth looking for purpose, identity, and love. In our current context, spaces for playing, imagining, and creating have been diminished for the newest generation; therefore, we believe in building safe environments that enable and accompany their holistic development.

Our project, Atmósfera, wants to serve and help children and youth live fully, with hope, creativity, and love for themselves and their community. We are inspired by Jesus’ promise of a full life. We dream of children and young people from La Toma and Cali, Colombia, progressively developing that vision of full life, using their potential, ideas, and love to serve their community.
