Full Description:
Few Christians live in this area and it is a blessing for them to have fellow believers come alongside to help them spread the gospel through evangelism and physical labor. Indigenous peoples in rural areas of Chile need Christians to come and show that they care, especially older people, left behind when younger relatives migrate to the city.
Some of the opportunities that your team will have while on this trip will likely include:
-Going door to door in the community, passing out tracts and inviting people to a film such as “The Passion of the Christ” followed by preaching of the Gospel.
-Using drama and mime to present the Christian message -- a great way to communicate when you don’t speak the language.
-Visiting homes alongside church members to reach their neighbors with the Gospel.
-Working on construction projects in country churches
-Meet physical needs by doing much-needed repairs in the homes of elderly people: cutting firewood, clearing fields, or working in gardens.
-Going prayer-walking in the local community, asking the Lord that many more would come to know the love of Jesus
-Visiting and encouraging the few Christian believers in indigenous churches
This is an opening to create and send your own team. With a team of 12 or more people you can form your own team and pick your own dates. We will work with you to customize your trip, matching the gifts and skills of your team with the needs in Chile.
