The Republic of Colombia is one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world containing mountain ranges, coastlines, and the Amazon Rainforest. Despite its beauty, many people in Colombia have been affected by homelessness, drug addiction, or violence from drug trafficking.
It’s also home to unreached tribes, a large student population rejecting the gospel, and thousands of children living on the streets. Through a mission trip, men ages 18 and older are invited to help bring hope and restoration to the people of Colombia.
The trip will include activities such as participation in local church services, evangelism, prayer, clothing drives, sports programs, handing out Bibles, and more. While subject to change, you can see a sample itinerary below.
Men must be at least age 18 to register, and you must have a valid U.S. passport at the time of registration. A background check is also required. If you do not already have a background check on file with the church, a link will be sent to you after registration to complete a background check form. The cost of the trip is $1,500 with $1,000 due at registration, and the remaining $500 due by September 30. Register today to bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the people of Colombia!
