Ecuador is an incredibly diverse country in South America that boasts 4 distinctly different geographical regions: the coast (beach), the Andes Mountains (with many snowcapped volcanoes), the Amazon Rainforest (jungle), and the Galapagos Islands. Coming from 11 distinctly different indigenous groups, Ecuadorians are easy-going, kind people who are very open to foreigners. With a background of Catholicism from the Spanish conquistadors that came to Ecuador in 1531, there is a great deal of openness to the gospel, but the vast majority of Ecuadorians are culturally Catholic without knowing what a personal relationship with Jesus Christ really looks like.
Join a team of young couples and families working in a country setting in the Andes Mountains, where your focus would be to serve at our camp and retreat center where we facilitate a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through nature and outdoor adventure. We receive between 9 and 14 Short Term Mission teams per year and need help in the administrative logistics as well as the hosting of those teams.
Be a part of the deep transformation that takes place not only in the lives of mission team members, but in the lives of Ecuadorian kids, youth, and adults that we work with in the rural communities where we have on-going partnership.These individuals will go on to impact their families and communities as a result of their time spent with us.
