See How Time Set Apart Can Shape a Student's Faith and Future

Angaza Discovery Camp is MOHI’s immersive discipleship experience for sixth- and tenth-grade students.

Through Scripture, prayer, worship, small groups, personal reflection, and time with trained mentors, students are invited to encounter God personally and understand their identity in Christ. They also begin exploring how their faith can shape their choices, relationships, and future.

An Important Season of Growth

As students enter adolescence, they begin asking deeper questions.

Who am I? What do I believe? Where do I belong? What kind of future is possible for me?

For a child living in extreme poverty, those questions are often met with painful messages that say they do not matter or that their future is small. Over time, those messages can deeply shape how a child sees themselves.

Students need intentional guidance during this formative season. They need space to hear God’s truth, trusted mentors who will walk alongside them, and opportunities to build a faith that reaches into every part of their lives.

Angaza creates that space.

Surrounded by People Who Care

Your sponsored child does not walk through this season alone.

Angaza is part of MOHI’s ongoing commitment to nurturing students academically, physically, socially, and spiritually.

During camp, students are supported by trained mentors, many of whom are MOHI alumni. These mentors understand the students’ experiences and create a caring environment where they can ask honest questions, receive encouragement, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in daily life.

As a sponsor, you are also part of the community surrounding your sponsored child. Your prayers and encouragement can remind them that they are known, valued, and supported during this important season.

Walk With Your Sponsored Child

Your prayers are a meaningful way to participate in this milestone.

Students at Angaza reflect on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:14–16:

   “You are the light of the world.”

We invite you to reflect on this passage and pray for your sponsored child as they prepare for and experience Angaza.

The Angaza prayer card includes three simple prayer prompts to help you pray for your sponsored child’s relationship with God, identity in Christ, and growing faith.
