Fort Mill - Colombia March/April 2017
Welcome to the March/April 2017 Forest Hill Colombia Trip page!
Our group from Forest Hill Church Fort Mill will be traveling to Colombia to work with South America Mission (SAM), a Forest Hill AIM Partner that has been working to see the Church of Jesus Christ multiplied and transforming communities in South America for more than a century. SAM’s missionary community and partners work to share the gospel, reproduce authentic disciples of Jesus, plant churches, train leaders and equip God’s people to minister transformationally.
Trip Focus:
SAM engages local church partners in the US to “go” and engage in ways that help accomplish the Mission’s purposes. As people participate in short-term teams, they also enter a cross-cultural discipleship context that brings significant life change, to the glory of God. We welcome you to join this short-term team or donate to enable this important ministry for others. This team will be lead by Bruce Hendricks and Justin Leverette and partner with SAM missionaries and El Castillo Fuerte church, making improvements to local public school and building relationships with students and families. Lodging and meals will be provided in a local home.
If you have any questions, please email GoGlobal Trip Coordinator, Alison Gamble at [email protected].
