Since its inception, Advance Worldwide has been committed to partner with local churches in underserved communities of Colombia.

​

Our first church partner in this region was in the city of Quibdo. A local church, passionate about reaching the lost and most vulnerable, served children and families in a neighborhood called "Buenos Aires." In addition, we reached out to an indigenous group that settled in a village nearby and sent local mission teams to remote villages only accessible by boat. 

 

Advance Worldwide has assisted with the strategic implementation and financial support of a number of initiatives. For example, purchasing sewing machines and sending a professional seamstresses to teach a group of women in this community sewing techniques. Learning these skills assisted these women to generate extra income to support their families. We also connected a team from this church to a business coach that provided a series of trainings on how to start new small businesses. During Christmas we have supported outreach programs to the community.

​

Currently, Advance Worldwide is exploring and developing new partnerships in other underserved locations, such as in La Guajira.  We are looking forward to what God has in store for Advance Worldwide in Colombia as we seek to strengthen missional churches in this amazing nation!
