Host the International Peacemaker from Colombia!

Invite International Peacemaker, the Rev. Diego Higuita-Arango of Colombia to visit your presbytery, synod, seminary or college. He is available from September 26 through October 20. Diego has recently been elected as the executive secretary of the Presbyterian Church of Colombia (IPC). He has also served as Moderator of the IPC. His ministry of ten years has focused in the region of Urabá, working with people in rural areas and as the Director of Popular Theology in that presbytery. He has been an eyewitness to many violent acts in that region and joins in the struggle to return peace to Urabá, to Colombia, and to the world. Diego will require a translator.

Presbyteries, educational institutions and other entities which host International Peacemakers are asked to pay $400 to the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program, and to provide room, board and ground transportation during your Peacemaker's visit. The Peacemaking Program will make the travel arrangements, purchase the tickets, provide honoraria and health insurance, and inform hosts/hostesses of travel schedules.
