Kids and Colombia

Your parents probably won't allow you to travel to Colombia yet, but we want to bring Colombia to you!

In many ways  kids in Colombia are a lot like you, in some ways they are very different.
  • They love to play video games, but soccer is the most popular sport.
  • They may have a cell phone, but often use it to listen to music!
  • They don't like doing their chores, and homework, and they don't get an allowance.
  • They go to school Monday-Friday, some in the morning some in the afternoon.
  • Some kids study from 7:00 am to 12:00 am; others from 12:30 to 5:30.
  • They speak Spanish, but have English lessons a couple times a week at school.

However, some kids live a life very different from you.  Click on the video below to watch how half of the kids in Colombia live. 



 We will soon be working in another city and hope to work with kids and families similar to those you saw.  They are kids like you, but with many needs.  Their greatest need- To know Jesus!  Will you join us in praying for the kids in Colombia?
