Happy Father’s Day, Pacho! 🇨🇴❤️

Today, as Colombia celebrates Father’s Day, we want to honor a man who rarely seeks the spotlight but is an essential part of our mission family.

Pacho, the father of Fr. Julián Zapata, is always there when we arrive. He greets us at the airport with a smile, helps load and unload luggage, makes sure everyone gets on and off the bus safely, hands out water when the heat is intense, and offers a kind word when we’re tired from travel.

Every mission has people working behind the scenes—those who quietly serve, encourage, and make everything possible. While Fr. Julián leads much of the ministry we see, Pacho is one of the faithful hands helping carry the work forward.

His generosity, hospitality, and servant’s heart remind us that mission work is never accomplished by one person alone. It takes a family, a community, and people willing to serve wherever they are needed.

Today we give thanks for fathers like Pacho, whose love is shown not only in words but in countless acts of service.

Happy Father’s Day, Pacho. Thank you for being part of the Mission Colombia family and for all you do behind the scenes. We are grateful for you.



¡Feliz Día del Padre, Pacho! 🇨🇴❤️

Hoy, mientras Colombia celebra el Día del Padre, queremos honrar a un hombre que rara vez busca el protagonismo, pero que es una parte esencial de nuestra familia misionera.

Pacho, el padre del P. Julián Zapata, siempre está allí cuando llegamos. Nos recibe en el aeropuerto con una sonrisa, ayuda a cargar y descargar el equipaje, se asegura de que todos suban y bajen del autobús con seguridad, reparte agua cuando el calor arrecia y nos ofrece una palabra amable cuando estamos cansados ​​por el viaje.

Cada misión cuenta con personas que trabajan entre bastidores: aquellos que sirven discretamente, animan y hacen posible que todo suceda. Si bien el P. Julián lidera gran parte del ministerio que vemos, Pacho es una de esas manos fieles que ayudan a sacar adelante la obra.

Su generosidad, hospitalidad y corazón de servidor nos recuerdan que la labor misionera nunca es obra de una sola persona. Se necesita una familia, una comunidad y personas dispuestas a servir dondequiera que se les necesite.

Hoy damos gracias por padres como Pacho, cuyo amor se manifiesta no solo en palabras, sino en innumerables actos de servicio.

Feliz Día del Padre, Pacho. Gracias por ser parte de la familia de Mission Colombia y por todo lo que haces entre bastidores. Estamos muy agradecidos por ti.
