Over the past year, our St Martha international mission trips ministry has been in communication with the communities we serve in Colombia. We have learned that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact. The nation-wide lockdowns led to the collapse of Colombia’s street economy, eliminating the only source of income for many of these families.
We have asked them how our St Martha community can help them in these exceedingly difficult times. Families are asking us to help in any way we can to support the small monthly tuition that will keep their children in the Christian schools that our mission teams have supported over the years. This strong education, based on Christian principles, strong academics, individual leadership, and accountability is how their children will be able to follow their dreams and break free from the cycle of poverty in their communities.
It is for this reason that our fundraiser this year is focused on helping support these children and their families. There are three ways you can join us in support:

1. Sponsor a child’s small monthly tuition. Sponsorship starts at just $36 a month.
2. Become a school/community Partner with any level of donation that you can share to help the critical needs of these communities, from emergency food to crisis counseling and education.
3. Cover these children and families in prayer.

Please join our exciting event detailed in the flyer above, as we travel virtually to Colombia to meet some of these children and families, while enjoying fantastic Colombian food, music, and culture!
To order your Colombian to-go meals, sponsor or donate, and to watch Saturday evening, May 22 as we go live to Colombia, please go to our event page at:
