Joe and a team from Arun Church are currently out in Colombia impacting lives and in return having their lives impacted.
The team have so far had an amazing time with Communidad Mosaic in Tierra Grata, Colombia. Many young people have given their hearts to Jesus which has been incredible for the team to witness. The team have been carrying out games and activities teaching principles and seeing God speak great encouragement into their lives.
They have also had the opportunity to visit families. They saw God touching the lives of many and also saw some amazing healing!
The team went on to visit San Basilio de Palenque, which is considered to be the first liberated slave settlement in the Americas, after the heroic escape of Benko Bioho. Palenque has such an incredible, rich heritage and is so full of life, love and colour. It is such an honour to join with our partners Foundacion Tabala Suetto as they reach out to the youth and families in this inspiring place.
More recently, the team visited various organisations working in and around Cartagena. All the organisations are connected to the work of our friends in Foundacion Tabala Suetto. It was inspiring for the team to see the incredible work that they are doing in their communities.
The team also had the opportunity to donate clothes, football kits and bags of goods for families with babies to the different locations they have visited. This was a huge blessing and massively appreciated.
We are so excited to hear lots of stories and highlights from the team on their return, and we will continue to share updates with you via social media. But, for now, please do keep the amazing team in your prayers as they continue stepping out and make a difference.
Please also continue to pray for our partners and their amazing communities as they continue to grow into all that God has for them.

What an amazing Colombia trip! The whole team were challenged and impacted once again by the incredible generosity and love of the communities that we engaged with and have been reminded of how very blessed they are in so many ways. The team has returned with a love for Colombia and the amazing partners that we have in the nation.
