Colombia 2019 - 11th Grade

The Colombia student mission team will be working alongside the staff of One More Child Global to provide care and tangible resources to children and families living in impoverished communities near Bogota, Colombia. The team will be working with children and families in and out of schools in several locations and in partnership with a local church and a new church plant. Opportunities for ministry and evangelism will be made possible through leading VBS activities, discipling older students through Bible study, leading worship, and playing soccer. In addition, the partner church holds several weekly services and other community outreach programs in order to continue to develop and affect the lives of the children and families living in the surrounding communities. The Christ Journey student team will assist this church by conducting children’s discipleship, outreach, and activities in an effort to reach children for Christ.  Most importantly, there will be opportunities for personal spiritual growth, relationship development among team members, meaningful devotional and worship time, and quiet times for reflection and prayer.
Location: Details will be disclosed during team meetings.
