The Ministry of World Reach in Colombia

• Colombia, the fourth largest country in South America, has mountains in the west and plains and forests in the east, and is bordered by Venezula, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and the Pacific Ocean.
• The capital city is Bogotá.
• Colombia became independent of Spain in 1819. Throughout the years there have been dictatorships and civil wars. Drug cartel guerrillas have participated in assassinations and kidnappings and right-wing paramilitary groups have been formed to combat them. This has left the country in upheaval most of the time.
• Coffee, oil and cocaine are the main export commodities. The gap between rich and poor is wide.
• The population of Colombia is 44,533,100. 90% of the people are Roman Catholic.
• Evangelicals represent 5% of the population.
• There are 820 missionaries representing 84 agencies from 28 countries.
