A Different World is Possible,
A Different World is Necessary,
A Different World Right Now!
This symbolic slogan served as the theme of the 10th General Congress of the Red del Camino for Integral Mission in the Dominican Republic.
The sentiment behind this expressive, captivating, defiant, and motivating slogan is nothing more and nothing less than the teachings, declarations, and prophecies of the greatest Teacher of all time. Our Jesus Christ, whose presence and power are facilitated and guaranteed by the idea that a different world is possible and necessary.

Greetings Fellow Travelers,
Colossians 1:16-25
"... for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see – such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on Herat by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it. I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church. God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his entire message to you".
As we remember the death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we remember the death of a martyr and a godly man that gave his life 63 years ago. He gave his life as a sacrificial offering in a battle between the supposed divinity and power of the German Nazi State and the true divinity of Jesus; a battle which was being fought for lordship over people and the state.
