There are so many people all over the world that don’t know Jesus. Do you want to do something about that? We are on a mission to put a vibrant community of Jesus followers in everyone’s reach, especially where there is not already a local church present. Come join REACH in Chile to be prepared and equipped together with other like-minded people from all over the globe to do just that. You will be trained in practical skills, challenged to grow as a disciple of Jesus, and guided to find your strategic place in world missions!

REACH is a 5-month training programme where you will be exposed to different kinds of cultures, ministries, and missions’ opportunities. A Biblical foundation for discipleship provides a structure for spiritual growth, healing, and a platform for sharing your faith. You will look at the “why” and “how” of missions while learning about and interacting with other world religions.

Ministry Details

REACH in Chile is taught in Spanish or English with translation. Students will have language classes (English or Spanish) during their time in the programme. 

In Chile, we have a local evangelistic ministry, Rubí, which works with children in residential homes. Students will visit this ministry frequently and there may be an opportunity for participants to extend their time in Chile to serve in this ministry.

Students will walk with a mentor during their time in REACH where they will be able to process what they’re learning about God in a safe environment.
