OHC teams partner with Conectar Global, a digital and youth discipleship ministry in Colombia led by Juan Bravo. While in country, the team will serve alongside our missionary partner, Conectar Global, and other local partners. Our local ministry contacts will arrange a 3 day overnight sports and VBS camp outside of the city with vulnerable children and youth ages 12-20. Many of these children have not been outside the city or had the chance to participate in such a camp. Our team will work alongside our ministry partners, building relationships through activities including: sports, games, arts and crafts, small group times, drama, worship and Bible teaching. We will help organize 2 day-long youth festivals in the town of Chichina and La Union, sharing with them in games and fun activities while also sharing with them the Gospel.
