CEF has two stars and an “A” transparency grade in the MinistryWatch database, and a donor confidence score of 82.

Church of the Nazarene Siloé—located in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods of Colombia—is ministering to its community through tangible and spiritual service. Steiner Prieto planted the church in 2009 just three blocks from where his brother had been previously murdered. Today, the church feeds children and the elderly every day, holds classes to help people earn their high school diplomas, and offers free vocational training.
