OMP Venezuela organizes the VI National Missionary Childhood Congress

The Pontifical Mission Works of Venezuela (OMP) presented the VI National Congress of Missionary Childhood (Coniam), an initiative that aims to help young people grow in faith, strengthen their friendship with Jesus and discover new ways to serve.

WPOs are the official instrument of the Church for missionary cooperation, evangelization and human promotion in the most needy places and situations of missionary personnel and material resources.

The Coniam will take place from April 6 to 9 this year in the city of Valencia, and will have the support and presence of the local archbishop and president of the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference, Mons. Jesús González de Zárate.

The program will include conferences, workshops, testimonies and recreational activities that will make attendees live “indelible experiences.”

“In a society marked by inequality, violence and lack of hope, the

Church mission charges a special relevance. Children and adolescents, with their sensitivity and their ability to love, are agents of transformation and hope, ”says WPOs.

“Missionary childhood and adolescence is a valuable instrument to train children

and adolescents in the values ​​of the Gospel and to promote solidarity with the

most needy children from the whole world, ”he adds.

The motto of the event will be Go and invite, for everyone there is place! (Based on Matthew 22, 9), with which the OMP want to motivate the participants “to get out of their comfort areas to reach communities in need of pastoral agents who share their faith, announce the gospel and actively cooperate in solidarity actions with the most vulnerable populations.”
