BIO
John and Elsa Powell's history in missions began in 1995 in Caracas, Venezuela. A year later, they married and began their ministry in Calabozo, where John preached in the local church while Elsa translated their messages.
heir commitment to the community grew and, in 1998, they assumed the pastorate of Torre Fuerte Church. For 17 years, they saw God's faithfulness as they planted churches and formed Venezuelan leaders committed to the Gospel.
In 2015 they felt the call to return to missionary work, living in Panama and Ecuador before settling in Bogota, Colombia, in 2016. There they launched Project Joseph, a feeding program that today benefits children in vulnerable situations in and around Calabozo.
Over the past eight years, they have expanded their impact on the Colombia-Venezuela border, promoting entrepreneurship initiatives and bringing hope to children and families through the gospel message. Their work continues to transform lives and build communities with the love of Christ.
