OUR VISION
We are Ulises and Ana Ekmeiro, a Colombian–Venezuelan couple serving full-time as missionaries in Cartagena, Colombia, with Youth With A Mission (YWAM).
God has called us to mobilize young people into missions through Bible training and evangelism, and to eradicate Biblical illiteracy—not only among missionaries, but also within the local church. We carry a deep passion for university students, believing they are key to transforming society and shaping the future of nations.
Since 2017, we have trained over 500 missionaries who have read the entire Bible. Today, the number continues to grow beyond what we can track, as our schools multiply across nations.
What God Has Allowed Us to Do
We have pioneered Discipleship Bible Schools in five YWAM bases across Colombia: Cartagena, MedellÃn, Bucaramanga, Pereira, and Leticia (Amazonas).
We have expanded these schools to nations such as Paraguay, Brazil, Mexico, Switzerland, and Chile.
We have witnessed countless testimonies of students transforming their churches, families, workplaces, universities, and ministries.
We have received open doors to share the Gospel at the University of Sinú in Cartagena, with the potential to reach more than 5,000 students.
Together with our local church, we run Alpha Courses as a strategic tool to reach and disciple university students.
We have developed virtual Bible seminars that equip believers from local churches and ignite a passion for understanding God’s Word.
What We Do Today
We run 3-month Discipleship Bible Schools, where students study and read the entire Word of God. Our heart is to train missionaries with solid Biblical foundations so they can serve more effectively in God’s purposes for Colombia and the nations.
We carry out evangelistic visits and activities at the University of Sinú in Cartagena, partnering with our local church and using the Alpha Course as a tool to reach, disciple, and mobilize university students.
We serve as part of the leadership team of YWAM Cartagena.
We lead virtual Bible seminars that equip the local church and cultivate a deep love for Scripture.
Our Long-Term Goals
Establish Discipleship Bible Schools in every country in South America.
Disciple one million people through Bible studies.
Mobilize Latin Americans into missions across every continent.
Establish spaces of intercession, worship, and Bible study in every university in Cartagena, Colombia.
Connect university students with discipleship programs in local churches and mobilize them into the Great Commission.
Train and equip indigenous missionaries in Bible studies.
Completely eradicate Biblical illiteracy among missionaries and within the local church.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us to see this vision become a reality and bring greater impact to the Great Commission?
