​About Us Family Paredes Gutiérrez

God's Call for Us

• Adri: In 2013, as a student, I heard about Cru for the first time and became involved as a volunteer. In 2018, after graduating and working in my profession -International Affairs- I was challenged to work in the ministry full-time. I understand that the gospel must be proclamation and demonstration. For this reason, it is not enough to preach the good news, but also to help social and cultural transformation. And I am convinced that the Lord has called me to do that in Colombia.  I have leading social projects and missions, with vulnerable communities in different parts of the country (Bogotá, Chocó, Atlántico, Cauca, Vichada, and La Guajira); mobilizing university students and professionals to show the love of Jesus through service, while being and making disciples. 
• Juan Di: I am a professional in Graphic Design, from the University Escuela de Artes y Letras. I was born into a Christian family and throughout my life God has kept me in His path, even though for many years I was not interested in knowing Him personally. The Lord revealed Himself to my life in 9th grade and since then, little by little He has convinced me that He has called me to impact and transform this city and country through His truth and Purpose. My call is that through artistic passions, the youth of Colombia can connect with the truth of Christ and together proclaim the gospel through the arts and design. And that they discover a creative God, who has an infinite love for His creation. This is why I am passionate about connecting with artistic passions and also with university students. ​
