Career Missions
Join Us in Fulfilling the Great Commission
The goal of missions is to co-labor with Christ in Great Commission ministry as He builds His Church around the world. The outcome is the establishment of local reproducing churches to the glory of God.
Opportunity abounds in South America. Millions are still in need of accepting Christ as Savior and forming part of a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching, discipleship-committed, gospel-centered fundamental church.
Since Jesus spoke the words of Matthew 9:37-38, nothing has changed. The harvest truly is plenteous, and the laborers are few. We're praying for the Lord of the harvest to send out another generation of surrendered servants who are called and equipped for ministry and passionate about Christ building His church. If that's you, we're ready to facilitate your "going" with us!
Planting Churches
Surrendering your life to Christ for church planting is committing to the only enterprise He promised to build on earth. That's why our passion is to serve local churches at home that seek to identify and send their missionaries to co-labor with Christ in establishing His Church in South America.
We're praying for men and women called of God and approved by their sending church who will join us.
Training Leaders
The constant need of national pastors makes theological and Biblical training, as well as character building, vital to church planting.
We're praying for faithful servant-mentors ready to train the next generation of godly pastors and teachers in our five established training institutions.
developing camps
Christian camping supports local church planting by evangelizing the unsaved and edifying the body of Christ. It provides a unique venue for the spiritual refreshment of pastors and missionaries, and for building up Christian marriages and families.
We're praying for men and women led of God to support church planting through this essential ministry.
Serving Missionaries
Critical to the ongoing work of our team planting churches in South America is effective support at home.
We're praying for men and women with the right skill-sets who will join our US office team in serving our missionaries on the field.

If God has called you to serve in missions and given you a burden for a country we do not currently have missionaries in, please contact us! We are prayerfully asking the Lord for opportunities to be a part of His work in other places.
I believe God used Chilean nationals to influence my decision to return long term. I was in the town of Lanco with a team to evangelize in open air meetings. I happened to ask who the pastor of the local church was. They replied, "No one. Why don't you come be their pastor?"
Three years later, my wife and I arrived in Chile to serve our Lord as long as He wants us here. We left our farm, sold our machinery and "burned our bridges" behind us.
Some may ask if it was worth it. I would do it all over again if I could. Real joy comes in seeing those that we have ministered to serving the Lord now as well! I have seen farmer who were well off lose everything they had; but what is done for Christ will last for eternity.
Our desire is to "lay our bones down" in Chile where we have served for over fifty years.
Counting the Cost
Any sacrifice made for Christ here will be far outweighed by the exceeding and eternal weight of glory that awaits His faithful servants.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 2 Corinthians 4:17
