Natal, Brazil
The Brazil Student team will fly from San Antonio, TX through Rio de Janeiro or Sau Paulo, to Natal, Brazil.
In Natal, we will be serving alongside the brothers and sister of our international campus, OHC Natal. We will support the church's ongoing ministry initiatives by serving in shantytowns and favelas around the Natal campus. Under the direction of OHC Natal leaders, team members will be involved in student and sport ministry with the children and youth of the community. Regardless of your experience or language knowledge, God can use your spiritual gifts to serve people in need and build His kingdom in Brazil. You will also make amazing new friendships with our Brazilian counterparts.
We will be serving alongside members of OHC’s first international campus in Natal, Brazil. OHC Natal is led by Bryan & Jannet Carruth, who have been serving in Brazil for nearly two decades. Their vision is of a growing community of believers living out the call to be Jesus in every neighborhood in their city, impacting the country of Brazil and beyond.
We will work together to testify to God’s love and grace to the neighborhoods around the church.
Our teams are blessed to partner together in Christ as we learn from one another, serve together & develop strong bonds of ministry friendship. Our Student Team will serve in three ways:
· Student Ministry: retreat with students of OHC Natal
· Sports Ministry: with kids & youth of local community
· Construction: build a playground at the church campus
