What to Expect?
Walk in God’s footsteps by joining your team and serving Him in another country. Step outside your comfort zone and get ready to experience spiritual growth.
Location
Mission Life’s “Amazing Grace” Child Development Center was opened in February 2021. The center is located on the same property as the church. Center activities are held in the church space but the property also has a kitchen, dining area and classrooms. Genova has a population of 11,000 people. The town is nestled in the Andes mountains, about 114 miles west of Bogota. There is a traditional town square with a Spanish architecture style church, businesses and a park in the middle where residents meet and gather. The downtown area is walkable.
Trip Lodging
Mission Trip teams stay at the nearby Eco Parque Illusion hotel just outside of town. There are various sized rooms to accommodate teams and breakfast is usually served on site. There is an outdoor pool, views of the mountains and the property sits alongside the river.
During your time in Genova, you will:
Participate in numerous children’s activities
Visit local schools
Attend center worship services
Meet and spend time with your sponsor child
Serve and collaborate with faith communities to create lasting change through shared learning, encouragement, and fellowship
