Tour Highlights
On this tour TACO partnered with the YMCA in southern Germany. While the team primarily worked to reach into refugee communities they were also privileged to share their vision of using the arts to share the Gospel with youth in a local church evangelism conference. Many local ministries across the southern region of Germany are looking for new ways to reach out to the many refugees that God has brought to their doorsteps and are excited for TACO to come and be a part of that outreach.
