CANCELLED Custom Trip- Colombia: 25B4A0802CO

 From the Andes Mountains to the Amazon rainforest, Colombia is one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world. It is also home to unreached tribes, a large student population rapidly rejecting the Gospel, and thousands of children living on the streets. Colombia sits at the crossroads of Central and South America, making its culture almost as diverse as its natural resources.

On this mission trip, you will serve the men and women of Medellin, Colombia with our ministry partner Ciudad de Refugio. You'll meet and build relationships with people coming out of homelessness, addiction, and prostitution that are in Ciudad de Refugio’s one-year Christ-centered restoration program. 

Heavily influenced by Native American, Latin, European, African, Middle Eastern, and American cultures, 71% of its people practice Roman Catholicism. However, it is heavily influenced by tribal religions and focuses on works, instead of a relationship with Jesus. The men and women of Colombia need to encounter a loving relationship with God.

Your team will:

• Host Beauty for Ashes retreats, creating a space for God to bring hope, healing, and redemption to the stories of local women.
• do evening outreach ministry, Agua Panela
• serve the homeless
• Visit the refugee centers
• Be equipped to share about topics such as worth, identity, healing, and forgiveness with others through storytelling and vulnerability.
• Build meaningful relationships with your team and those with whom you minister.
• Gain a deeper understanding of who God is and who you are as His child.
