We’re excited to lead a mission trip to Chile, South America in October 2025. Several missionary friends serve there, including Jason & Lori Holt, Tracy Paver, Stephen & Leslie Carrier, and Kyle & Hannah Shreve. The Lord has blessed the ministry there with a network of 14 church plants and a Bible college of about 75 students. During our trip, we will see the need, learn about Chilean missions, participate in outreach and local church ministry, and seek to encourage missionaries and locals.
