Lifeline Children’s Services is sharing about Colombia Hosting, a two-week opportunity (June 29–July 13) for families to welcome older children from Colombia into their homes and experience the joy of sharing the love, stability, and hope of family life. For many children, hosting can be a meaningful step toward permanency and a powerful expression of the gospel in action. For families, it’s a “stay-at-home” mission trip everyone can be part of—especially for those unable to travel internationally but eager to make a difference. Learn more here: https://lifelinechild.org/hosting-programs/colombia-hosting-program/.
