Located in French-speaking West Africa, the city of Allada is home to La Casa Grande Benin, a Christian ministry for children who need food, shelter and a family. 

This Youth Venture team will have the opportunity to become a part of this family participating in vibrant worship, dancing, teaching English, sports and art projects. Participants will also visit cultural sites, like Ganvie on Lake Nokoué (a village built on stilts) and the Slave Road leading to the beach where prisoners were loaded as cargo onto ships headed for Europe and the Americas.
