We are Corey and Tona Kautz. We’ve been serving in Colombia since 2006, working to bring a message of hope to youth and children throughout the country through equipping churches, leaders, teachers and parents to impact the next generation with the Gospel.
Our two main focuses are evangelism and discipleship. Evangelism happens through large events, teams or just walking through the park, telling others about God's love for them. At the heart of our ministry is discipleship. We are not only leading youth and children to Christ, but walking alongside them as they grow in their faith.
Our HistoryThere is always a lot going on in Colombia! From outreaches, Vacation Bible School, soccer, game nights, children's ministry training, local church services, and so much more... take a look at some of our latest activities.

Here are some of our greatest needs. You can sponsor a portion or the whole project. Please contact us if you are interested in organizing a fundraiser for one of these projects.
We need monthly support partners to help us cover all of the general expenses of working overseas.
We spend $37.50 to serve lunch for 50 kids twice a week. Six months of lunches costs $1800.00.

We provide resources to churches for their children's ministries and to equip their leaders with the skills they need to reach the children in their communities.
We have had the privilege of working with incredible teams and volunteers in all of our ministries. We love when we see people realize the gifts and talents they possess.
The community center keeps us super busy, but we love that the community has allowed us to become a part of their lives. We still have lots of dreams for what the future may hold for Comuna 13.
When we first began, we kept a blog. It's been a while now since we've written, especially with the ease of updating social media, but we continue to think maybe one day we'll pick it back up again. In the meantime, feel free to journey back and read about some of our experiences along the way.
